Senator Barbara Boxer (D-Left Coast) wants you to know that because "the work is too important," she won't be retiring. She just won't be seeking re-election, won't be in Washington, won't be a Senator anymore, and really won't have much of an impact on any national political debate. In other words, she's retiring. However, as we learned in a painfully awkward and obviously scripted "interview" with her grandson Zach, you'd better not use the word "retire" around her.
