Tangents - picking a running mate is…like picking a pet

The ill-considered, poorly articulated though modest (in scope) opinions of Ronan gather here: a disparate aggregate of ideas, likes, dislikes, fancies, curios, diversions and procrastinations.

Keeping up with the modern world: "...building an airplane in flight."

\\ picking a running mate is…like picking a pet \\

Gail Collins in the New York Times, July 21, 2008:

“…picking a running mate is…like picking a pet. How much time are you planning to spend with the little fellow? How much exercise will he be getting on an average day? On the one extreme, you have the William Wheeler model….On the other end, there’s the Cheney version in which the pet takes over the checkbook, diversifies the family investment portfolio and starts strafing the neighbor’s cat.”
