Rating the governors

"The Cato Institute has released its annual report card on the nation's governors, giving them each a grade for their performance on taxes and spending," United Press International notes in its Capital Comment column.
The grades, given out by economist Stephen Moore and Steven Silvinski of Arizona's Goldwater Institute, are based on 17 objective measures of each governor's fiscal performance, the wire service said.
"Governors who have cut taxes and spending the most receive the highest grades. Those who have increased spending and taxes the most receive the lowest grades.
"The two governors bringing home A's to the voters are Colorado Gov. Bill Owens and Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, both Republicans.

Jeb. Fiscal genius.

It has been brought (repeatedly) to my attention

that I have been dilatory in responding to the issues raised broadcast across the local blog-world and in email by one gentle reader. I have also shirked my responsibility to read and follow the intricacies of the evolution of gentle reader's antithesis i n satisfactory detail.

You are, I am certain, gentle reader, right. I, on the other hand, couldn't be more wrong. Next to the word wrong in the dictionary, there's a picture of me. You, however, as I mentioned earlier, are right (and how apt is that, really?)

Amongst the things which you are: right. Subsumed in the set in which I am included: wrong.

Unlike you, who are right, I am wrong. You, on the other hand, are right.

In summation:

Me = wrong.
You = right.

Bedazzled by your rightness, I remain,

Wrong.

(I may not have gotten your exact preferred wording, but the sentiment is there).

Please feel free to go about your business, secure in the knowledge that your persistence and rectitude has brought yet another wily opponent to bay.

No, really.
