No matter how hard we coax him, Governor Strickland is not going to run for vice president.
He denied in a September USA Today story that he would run for vice president; in May, the Columbus Dispatch "reported" (how about parroted?) that he would reject any request by Clinton to be her running mate; and guess what happened yesterday? Strickland "unequivocally ruled out being Barack Obama's running mate," said the Washington Post.
I think it's time for somebody to tell Governor Stickland that nobody is asking him to run for vice president. Nobody.
NO. BODY.
If "reporters" are making a list of who's not going to run for vice president, they can add my name. Quit pestering me. No.
If I have to read one more time that Governor Stickland says he will not run for vice president, even if someone should be stupid enough to ask him to run for vice president, I am going to puke.

Stop making waves, for God's sake
Sister Mary Katherine entered the Monastery of Silence.
The priest said, "Sister, this is a silent monastery. You are welcome here as long as you like, but you may not speak until directed to do so."
Sister Mary Katherine lived in the monastery for five years before the priest said to her, "Sister Mary Katherine, you have been here for five years. You may speak two words."
Sister Mary Katherine said, "Hard bed."
"I'm sorry to hear that," the priest said, "We will get you a better bed."
After another five years, Sister Mary Katherine was summoned by the priest. "You may say another two words, Sister Mary Katherine."
"Cold food," said Sister Mary Katherine, and the priest assured her that the food would be better in the future.
On her 15th anniversary at the monastery, the priest again called Sister Mary Katherine to his office.
"You may say two words today."
"I quit," said Sister Mary Katherine.
"It's probably best," said the priest. "You've done nothing but complain since you got here."
