3. Reconsider/withdraw the appointment in favor of a more mainstream candidate.

4. Winnar!!







It reminds me of a time a many years ago when my buddies and I wanted to take a trip to Myrtle Beach for a long, "guys only"golf weekend, but knew we'd get a bunch of heartburn from our significant others for excluding them. So it went something like this:

ME: "Honey, me and the guys are thinking about going to the Dominican Republic for a week to play golf"

WIFE: WHAAATTTT??? NO FU!#ING WAY!!!

ME: "But why? I've got a ton of vacation that I've got to burn and we are getting a killer all-inclusive deal"

WIFE: "Fine, go. Do what you want." (We ALL know she meant the exact opposite, and I would never hear the end of it if I went).

2 days later;

ME: "Honey, you know, I've been thinking about it, and you know, you're exactly right. That was terribly inconsiderate of me. I talked with the guys and we decided against it and we're just going to take a long golf weekend in Myrtle instead."

WIFE: "That's a WONDERFUL idea."

What is alarming is that Slate (and Danzig) would be concerned about Piyush's appointment to a minor state commission. It isn't like Perkins was appointed to the Louisiana Racing Commission.

I'm not proud to say that I voted for Piyush for Governor once, but that was when he was in a runoff with Kathleen Babbling Blanco so I had a valid excuse.

i'm sorry you find it 'alarming'.
i thought it was a shame that the guy was selected, but i didn't lose sleep over it. i think you're overthinking me starting this thread.
