“So I stayed home tonight and watched Netflix. Caught up on Breaking Bad episode ‘Half Measures.’ Ends with this great line: ‘The moral of the story is I chose a half measure, when I should have gone all the way. I’ll never make that mistake again. No more half measures.’” – Gov. Jan Brewer @GovBrewer
