#1 There were rumours when he vacationed on Hawaii that a friend was looking for houses for him there to retire in. And has he sold his house in Chicago? And not once mentioned in the blog post is anything about the top drawer, Progressive academic crowd that so adore his witty remarks over cocktails.

Wherever he ends up will be a college town of some sort, or a college enclave, where he will be feted and flattered while he tells tales out of school about that old sticki-in-the-mud Hegel and others serving the right cause from behind enemy lines, and always with, "But he did his best," with the implication implied ever so delicately.

One feels for his Secret Service people, who will have a difficult job

#6 My wife and I like visiting Asheville and the surrounding areas (except during games and grad ceremonies when it's tough to find lodging).

The area's desirability would totally change if he were to do this.

#7 Ashville is close to east Tennessee. I think he should go to Hawaii or back to his old neighborhood in Chicago and retire.

#11 Maybe he could move to live amongst his comrades in some communist country. He could bow to anyone he wants to that way and get away with it.
