Yesterday, it was announced that Jon Kyl, a former US senator, would take John McCain’s place in the US Senate. He’s committed to serving for the remainder of the year, but there’s no guarantee that he won’t step down after the end of the session. If that happens, the governor will have to choose yet ANOTHER replacement.
Oy vey.
Anyway, it’s just been made official. Vice President Mike Pence just swore Kyl in.

Good pick. He’s been there before. He already knows where the washrooms are, so he can get straight to work for the people of Arizona.

Also, everyone pray for Mark.
It would be great if, after being sworn in, he encouraged the House to bring impeachment changes against the President. I know it won't happen, but that would be great… Bonus points if he drops the mic and gives a "McCain thumbs-down" as he walks away.

Good grief.
