The Washington Post: "Raise your hand if you're not running for president." I raised my hand.
I wrote the following to them:
I am hereby officially withdrawing from the 2024 race for the presidency of the United States. While I realize that this may come as a shock to some, I have decided that my family and my day job come first. Plus, there are SO many Republicans running around loose in Washington these days, with little to no adult supervision, I just don't feel that there is a safe environment in which to carry out the official duties attached to the position.
Not only that, I do not feel that I could do an effective job AND take the time to cook the occasional Lobster/Scallop/Shrimp curry dish that my family has come to expect of me every year in Cape Cod. I will miss the chance to do some constructive diplomatic work (I speak German, French, Spanish, Russian, Italian, Dutch, Swedish and Catalan), but Anthony Blinken seems to be doing such a good job, he seems to have completely overlooked my absence in the meantime. He certainly hasn't mentioned it to my knowledge, anyway.
You may cite me as the first withdrawal you have noted from the non-public-office-holding ranks.
Best regards from Dallas and Düsseldorf,

Go west a few dozen miles or so to Fall River or New Bedford and pick up some Portuguese chourico-you won't be sorry 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chorizo
"In the heavily Portuguese counties in the US states of Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts, chouriço is often served with little neck clams and white beans. Chouriço sandwiches on grinder rolls, with sautéed green peppers and onions, are commonly available at local delis and convenience stores. Stuffed quahogs (also known as stuffies), a Rhode Island specialty, usually include chouriço"
I don't expect anyone to be able to determine my LDL level from my sig line!
