[Rhodes22-list] Kind suggestion re Ed's behavior.

[Robert Skinner]

How about a 25 year old blonde Democrat model/martial 
arts instructor with the hots for generally OK but 
mildly disfunctional totally in line rabid Republicans.  

I suspect that Ed's attitudes might change as he got 
his knickers untwisted.  At least both would be happily 
occupied for a while, and Ed would be too busy with the 
real thing to ritually mount the newbies.

Piece and good will to all,
/Robert

This created many very stressful experiences for the pup until we honored him with a small stepstool.  Ergo, he lived happily ever after.  Now we, for the sake of our corporate attitude, need to brainstorm for a viable solution for Ed, because we really like this guy.  Any ideas?
