Keep the faith, berni_mccoy.

Hell! I've got a magnum of champagne on ice and have the popcorn popper ready to go. You wouldn't want me to go to all that trouble and expense for no dud firecracker.

Now we all know that this Fitz guy is a good ol' Joe. He don't give two damns 'bout what anybody else thinks. He's just gonna do his job the way he always does. They call him apolitical. That's good enough for me.

Now that wiley chimpy may get some ideers 'bout slip-slidin' away from this here trouble. But there's a real problem with that. If he interferes at all with this here biz, the country ain't gonna like it too much, I spect.

So, keep the faith, my friend. It's all gonna work out okay. And you might want to put some champagne on ice fer yerself. I'll save ya some popcorn, if ya like.
