		<description>Mr. Ackerman, please. You got *punked* again. Aren't you used to it by now?

General Jones is used to having a professionally organized staff of dozens, not a frenetic, chaotic campaign situation. General Jones is likely used to having a capable chief of staff, and department heads that report to him and take their lesser concerns to his deputy. It sounds to me like he is working a rolling schedule--perhaps 10 hour days and 14-15 hour days as needed, and as based on events. He was expecting professionalism and what he got was a campaign-oriented staffing nightmare.

Pizza boxes are likely spilling into the hallway. General Jones isn't happy with coming into the office and finding some dude sprawled on his couch with garlic sauce on his shirt and a can of Mountain Dew rolled under the desk. General Jones probably wishes he could right the ship, kick some tail, and clean the place up. Too bad the Obamatrons are running our government like the Indiana primary, with tacky pictures pasted everywhere and with cheese doodles crunched down into the fine carpets.

General Jones, sir--you have our permission to resign. These people don't deserve your professionalism and your sober judgement.</description>
