Speaking at a church, Jack Ciattarelli suggested he be called “big daddy” instead of governor if he wins:

“…his grandchildren do not call him grandpa. …They call him big daddy, and I was thinking when we win this race I kind of like that better than governor. Big daddy.”

It goes without saying that if Obama had ordered the Illinois National Guard to invade Texas, Greg Abbott would have ordered all of those soldiers shot on sight.

So many NC people I know were saying he could be for UNC football what Dean Smith was for the basketball program. Except Dean Smith retired when he was seven years younger than Belichick is now because he no longer felt he could give the job the energy it deserved. Just sayin'.

I've experienced this firsthand, and it's AWESOME.

Many folks from the U.S. marvel at this stuff when they take holidays or business trips in Switzerland. Yet they scoff at the idea of doing something like this at home.

It's their loss. It's our loss.

Switzerland is “rich in something vanishingly rare in the rest of the world: common sense. This is most apparent in the way the Swiss get around…a model of sensible, sustainable — and yes, even enjoyable — transit. It’s simply the best transportation system in the world.” Via @taras-grescoe.com
