The '08 race is beginning.

I just came across this in the NYT article today about politicians using hand sanitizer (slow day, eh?). Basically Bill Richardson, Democratic Governor of New Mexico, is considering running:

Mr. Richardson said that if he ran for president, as he is considering, he had no intention of conforming to the norms of his antiseptic peers.

“I just won’t use the sanitizer,” he said. “I’ve been offered it, but I’ve turned it down.”

This positions Mr. Richardson as the early hygienic maverick of 2008.

“I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty,” he said.

Hmm. Obama/Richardson, anyone?

So I went and changed the title.

Yes, I did. It wasn't sitting right. This one may not either, but I will keep the blog at the same address until I find one as good as "Jimmy Q's Egg Hut". Until that day, I am merely a name away from glory.

Carry on my wayward son. There'll be peace when you are done.
