weird election consequence
So, the electorate of Montana voted in a new guy as Supreme Court Clerk. I was shocked to get a call today to let me know I'm being tapped for his Chief Deputy. Hmm. I said I'd give my answer Monday, but it's a no. I'm not quite two years into my 4-year commitment to the people who voted for me. I hate when people bail out mid-term because someone waves money under their nose. Besides, I supported the loser. Awkward.

It must be a great feeling to be wanted by folks other than your original team, and to also be able to stick to your preferred path.
That's having options.

Competence has its burdens
Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Officially declined interest in the position. Still disappointed my guy didn't win, he should have.
