* Oh, man, did I ever screw up. Jim Nowlan didn’t chair the Fair Tax opposition committee. He chaired the other committee that spent a fortune this fall against Supreme Court Justice Tom Kilbride.

Post deleted. All apologies. I may need a nap and it’s not even noon.

As penance, I made another contribution to Lutheran Social Services of Illinois.

Wow, no. Homey don’t play that during work hours.

Homer Simpson said it best at times like this:
DOH (banned punctutation).
It’s ok, Rich, as a fire chief once said “Some days you’re going to make parking lots, and there’s not a d–med thing you can do about it.” Go take that nap and bounce back. It’s early.

Way to own it and move on. Nicely done.

If you didn’t make the occasional mistake, you wouldn’t be human.

But, yes, a nap might be in order.

You need to blame someone else. It’s the thing to do these days. /S

If I made a charity donation each time I made a mistake I’d be broke for sure.

It’s how a person handles their mistakes…that counts.

A refreshingly honest example…for sure.

“Out of all the mistakes I’ve made, this is one of the more recent.” - me, frequently

Maybe a three-day weekend starting tonight is in order?

Thanks for the In Living Color reference Rich

Elected and appointed officials take note. This how you take responsibility. Rich didn’t blame anyone but himself.

Rich - a Texas-sized tip of the hat to you for calling yourself out and fixing it, much less making a charitable donation to go along with it.

FormerParatrooper said it perfectly. Would that everyone was this conscientious about their mistakes. Many of us could learn from your example.

Seeing all the Kudo’s, I’m thinking of owning up to my mistakes.
