		For those of you unfamiliar with Joe Redner, in addition to his stake in Mons Venus, he's a prominent businessman, an outspoken libertarian, he ran for County Commission last year, and I feel quite certain he shares my not-so-secret desire to bludgeon Ronda Storms over the head with a rusty crowbar.
