Coates letter: Mike Pence & Hamilton

The controversy surrounding Vice President-elect Mike Pence being lectured to recently by the cast and crew of the hit Broadway play “Hamilton” reminds me of the story of the woman who was married four times. The first time she married a multimillionaire, but he went broke. The second time was an actor, but that flopped. The third time she married a minister, but he was boring so she left. And the fourth time it was an undertaker, which proves the old saying, “One for the money, two for the show, three to get ready and four to go.”
