To the Personnel and Tenure Committee,
It is with mixed feelings that I write to announce I will be unable fulfill my
contract to teach next semester. Whoever thought but two short months ago that
the Whigs would be revived, and that as an obscure historical party they would
pick a truly obscure historian to be their candidate? I believed I was
embarked on a lark. Now I shall have Mr. Putin trying to teach me judo, while
Governor Romney demands a recount. Last year's stint on the Awards and
Exhibitions Committee will no doubt stand me in good stead during the coming
four years. Please be assured that I shall be happy to fax over whatever
documentation is required for a Leave of Absence.
Yours sincerely,
David Ritchie,
The White
