* The setup…
Indiana’s Republican Governor, Mitch Daniels, once considered a potential candidate for U.S. president, will become the next president of Purdue University after a vote by the school’s board of trustees on Thursday.
Daniels will become the 12th president in Purdue’s 143-year history in January at the end of his second term as governor, his spokeswoman, Jane Jankowski, said. His salary as governor is $107,000
Purdue trustee and search committee chairman Michael Berghoff said Daniels, 63, was recruited for the job and was interviewed at length three times, earning the unanimous support of the search committee.
* The Question: What do you think Gov. Pat Quinn will do in retirement? Snark is heavily encouraged, of course.

He should go work for a state agency that will pay him $300,000, take his pension as inflated by this kicker, and drive off into the sunset laughing at the suckers who voted for him as a reformer all these years. Of course, to get the full effect, he’ll have to stay on the job for 4 years, but he’s already shown he’s capable of doing nothing while getting paid for years at a time.

Anon, thanks for the Illinois Review link. Pat Brady clearly is suffering from something worse than exhaustion.
Maybe it’s a gag. Seriously, associating with Christie Hefner is some sort of scandal?
It’s hard to believe a sane grown man could string together that many random, unrelated thoughts — “Keystone pipeline…. Pelosi… trillions of dollars…. Playboy…. liberals….aaaarrggghhhhh,”and think it was some sort of effective communication — of what, I don’t know.
Let’s hope he gets the help he needs.

Besides, I think think the last quote in the press release could generally be applied to quite a few scenarios and in those instances, may even carry a good punch when needed. And, whether one agrees or disagrees, it’s nice to hear someone at least trying to talk about, and put behavior into the context of, values again.
