Desperation

des·per·a·tion   [des-puh-rey-shuhn]
–noun
1.
the state of being desperate or of having the recklessness of despair.
2.
the act or fact of despairing; despair.


The skeptic might say that desperation is a man that can't let go....one that runs for office over and over and over again because he can't do anything else well. Heck, perhaps he can't perform the functions of being mayor well even after 28 years of experience.

The skeptic might note that desperation is a man that just simply needs a paycheck and will do anything to get it. Perhaps being a real estate agent isn't part of his skill set.... Perhaps the money doesn't flow like it used to.

The skeptic may also say that desperation is a man that will approve ads that rip the city apart by race just to win an election.

The skeptic could possibly say that desperation is a man that just can't lose gracefully. Scores must be settled at all costs.

Perhaps the skeptic is correct. I'll never tell...
