Political Tid Bits on a Tuesday

    My campaign treasurer texted me today to ask how I wanted to spend the final $13 from last year's campaign fund before she closes out the account and makes the final filing.
Since the John Edwards trial, I am very careful about using funds properly and in the public interest.
     I suggested we meet Wednesday at Pete's. With the war chest, we can get two sodas and an order of Ralphie Wings.
     Another pundit has weighed in on the Doheny-Greene primary...A top aide to Senator Ritchie pegs Matt's win at 67-33. Everbody agrees anything in the 50s will cause a raising of eyebrows and over 70, a big boost....
     My high water mark was 84% in 2007 against a guy who didn't think women should be teaching men.
     The real Doheny talk is not the primary but the wedding of the decade in Alex Bay. What to wear ?...what to give ?....how long is the party on the island ?  If there was a society reporter in the local MSM it would be a field day. I will be anxious to see what media is there...Will big wigs like Liz be there ?
     The factoid of the year is the disclosure that Kellie Green has in the range of a quarter million in student loans for a divinity school. That's what is wrong with this country. You shouldn't be allowed to accrue that kind of  debt.
    All this and now word Regis may be back on morning TV....Talk about sensory overload.

There is nothing wrong with a quarter million in debt
(IIRC...she put hers down at between 250k and 500k plus two credit cards totaling 20k)
The problem is that you better have more than 250k worth of assets to show for the debt. If she had a doctorate in pediatrics and she was 12 years younger then it would be fine to have that debt. But spending that money at her age on a basket weaving degree was fiscally foolish.

That kind of debt would be fine if she just bought Pete's Restaurant too. There is good debt and bad debt.

I think mayor you do the gift reg for Obama and send Matt the note you did it. I think the belly laugh would be worth the $5.
