Here is one for everyone to play.
Who did the President nominate to be the Ambassador to Saudi Arabia?
Hint. Someone who lives inside a 50 mile radius of Lowell.
For extra points, where do he and his wife live?
And, for discussion—here you get another hint—why is this person a good choice. (Let it be noted that I think this person is a good choice, but not because he or she speaks Arabic—doesn't. Or because this person is a Middle East expert—isn't.) The hint is you can find this person's biography if you go to this web site.
And one last chance for extra points. What is this person's nickname. It comes out of a Civil War marching song.
And, last week's answer was Sal DiMasi. It is so sad.

Couldn't possibly be because he used to be a jet jockey, could it? ;-) My cynical side would observe that he endorsed 44 last year before the election, so he's got that going for him too.
ReplyDeleteHadn't realized he was a local boy. Never saw anything about him outside of his posting in VA.
Actually, I think the fact that he has flow the Flying Tennis Court—I mean the F-15 Eagle—is helpful. And being on the stage with those other 19 or 20 General and Flag Offices, endorsing 44 is another part of it.
ReplyDeleteLet it be understood, however; F-16 guys (and gals) look down on F-15 guys, and rightfully so.
