Ever taken over a job where the departed staffer really F'ed things up? And you sat there every day for months and months and months finding an endless string of deeply embedded screwups and going "WhyTF did that Bozo (FILL IN THE BLANK)?"

Well, take that total bummer, give it a bolus of intravenous steroids and a tankful of 104 octane, then light a match to it and kick it off the North Rim of the Grand Canyon....

...and I think you get an idea of what poor Howard is in for.

So be nice to him. He'll need it.
