Lileks For Senate '06

Alas, I can't vote in Minnesota, at least being a Republican I can't. Democrats in Chicago and Philly vote whether they be dead or alive. I would vote for James but he's hedging:

That’s one response. “Blow it out your jaw-hole, Hairboy” is another. Neither works in the chummy, collegial atmosphere of the Senate. They might work in the cloakroom, where you’re allowed to use small sharp knives such as might fit into the handle of a walking stick, but really, I’m not a stabby kind of guy, so that won’t work. If nominated, I will not run. If elected, I will not serve. If mailed the paychecks nevertheless, I will cash them with a heavy heart: really, the people of Minnesota deserve so much better.

Wussy boy.
