Absentee Governor

Go into your boss’s office and tell them that from now until late November, 2012 you will:

  • Work many fewer hours per week.
  • Not be at work as much, many weeks not at all.
  • Be spending your time trying to obtain a new job.
  • Be coming back and resuming a normal work schedule if you do not obtain the new job.

How do you think that would go over? Probably not very well. However this is precisely what Governor Rick Perry is doing now that he has thrown his hat into the ring for the Republican presidential nomination.


Governor Perry was elected to direct the activities of the state, not to spend a year or more running for president. Seems like we need an amendment to the Texas State Constitution that either prohibits this practice or requires that elected officials resign if they want to seek a higher office.


Better yet, this should be a federal law, which would help to implement term limits on these do-nothing career politicians.
