Pearl # 98 Emotions of Local Public Officials

Most people are unaware of this odd fact that the range of emotions lobsters go through ... from being chosen at the tank in a grocery store to being brought home and then tossed alive into a pot of hot boiling water in someone's kitchen ... are almost identical to the range of emotions candidates for local public office experience from the time they are encouraged by family and friends to take out papers and run for public office to the time they are actually sworn in.
