I'm Giving Them Up For Lent and (maybe even after that)

Dear Citizens:
I am late in this confession and this Lenten resolution so please forgive me.
I have a "thing" about blondes.  Whether on TV or the news or meeting them in person I am always infatuated with ladies with golden tresses.  I start to sweat, I stammer and basically operate like an idiot around all of them.  My brunette lady friends have questioned why I will give a pass to conservatives like Laura, Liz, Megan and Mika but will soundly fuss with Moaning Joe and even Miss Maddow, a liberal, when I am not pleased with their views. I really don't know the answer.  My dark haired pals repeatedly have told me in no uncertain terms that --all the good things in my life are because of brunettes.  They are right.  I admit it.
So, today, I am promising to give up most blondes for Lent.  My daughter in law, the singer in Pistols and Pearls and my Chesapeake Bay dog are excepted during these excruciating days.
No more Liz keeping America safe from lawyers, bye bye to Jihad Jane,  anyway, both of these peas seem to come from opposite ends of the same scary political pod.  I, now, bid a fond fare-thee-well to you, Mika on Morning Joe and a big so long to Miss McCain.
---Laura, after all these years, I treasure you and your red alerts the most, but it is time to say goodbye.---

So there it is.  I hope that with a little help from my friends and family, music from Reba and maybe, on feast days, a column or two from Kathleen Parker I can make it through this difficult period of my life.
After all, Lent is about self examination and denial is it not?
Be well
A Journeyman
