Just 5? I don't know about other faiths, but the Catholic religion holds that there are 55 to 56 days every year where you must attend Mass, on pain of mortal sin.

Isn't Gov. Brewer term-limited? Pretty explicitly, as I recall?

Fortunately, Comcast has farbed up my account details so severely since I moved that I can't even get into my account with my password.
