Speaking of strange, unexplained events

At least one of them is over. Footnote-to-history Thad McCotter, has dropped out of the race for the GOP nomination.

I try to keep a sense of humor about this sort of thing, especially given the caliber of other, more serious, candidates (like there are any,) but McCotter I found to be a more than usual insult to the intelligence of the public (like there is any.) Anyway, he's gone, crawling back under the rock of Southeastern Michigan Republican politics.
