Burkes and Gore

Today's mail just arrived, and with it came a Christmas card from the Burkes family. They're opposites politically, but Rep. Aaron Burkes (R-Lowell) has gone Al Gore on us as he makes his exit from the political arena. Burkes stayed loyal to his philosophy -- a true limited government conservative. We took a stand together against HB1072, which we thought intruded on protected speech. I think the beard looks pretty good.
