I don't have anything against working both sides of the street, but you can't do both at the same time. I can't imagine what was on his mind taking this job. I will watch with equal fascination and horror. I wonder if you notice it when your soul leaves you body or if you can check it at the door and pick it up on your way out? Run, Jon, Run!

Honesty and integrity are two words I don't necessarily attach to the mayor's office. I'm looking forward to reading about JB's *next* job! Luck is what he’s going to need.

In deference to a great, need I say articulate, sincere and deferential, oracle of our city's zeitgeist, I will be resigning my position as the foremost critic at large. I have been bearing this burden too long and I must cleanse my soul. It has all been a hoax. There is no Paul Hammond. I stole his identity on a hackers website, have drained his vast fortune and ruined his good reputation. To this day he has no idea what has gone on behind his back. He is an innocent and a simpleton. Those who know him know better. "He's never had two nickels to rub together," said his elderly frail mother Paulina, "but there was never a better son." Paul, who never married, in fact continues to live in his mother's basement and spends most of his time counting his collection of wheat pennies. "I have 45." Paul says proudly with a silly grin and snot dripping out of one nostril. I cannot accept the position as leading spokes blogger.

Let's give JB credit for his honestly and integrity and wish him luck in his new position. Let's hope his steadfastness to the principles that have made him Richmond's most beloved blogger will rub off on his new co-workers and that if he finds himself in a position where he can no longer be true to those principles, he will quit and come blogging back home to us.

I can't begin to tell you how much I'm looking forward to all the pro-mayor postings on the way... Don't we get enough of those from the RTD? Well, that’s one way to shut him up…
