So, just out of curiosity, if Trump asked Mary Fallin to be his running mate and she accepts, does she have to resign as the Oklahoma Governor?

Yeah, that's smart. Calling it early has never been seen as a really stupid mistake before now.

Way to go, media giants. Just go ahead and turn even more people against you.

Yes.

You can't hold two offices at the same time.

I mean does she have to resign just to accept as running mate, even if they don't win.

She doesn't have to resign until after they win.

But that depends on the state I believe.

Bush didn't resign as governor until after he won President.

:( We don't want her. No one here does, we have no idea how she keeps getting reelected.

When in doubt blame your cousins.

It's all those big city folk from Tulsa I bet.

There's a .44 gauge solution for that.

.44 is a caliber, not a gauge.

Edit my post damn it!

I blame Obama!

/makes threatening phone call to governor of Oklahoma, involving rat poison and maple syrup.

/has the phone call traced to Kojo's cell.

Lol kojo's cell... He's posting from a grammerphone in his log cabin.

First article was going to happen anyway.

Not everyone who endorses Trump is going to win their nomination in whatever race they are going for.

Come on Chanti, you can do better than that!

I suppose I could have been clearer in my statement on the first article. I have no idea of whether Ellmers endorsed Trump although I think she did.

Trump endorsed her.

For the second... Hillary never leaked top secret stuff to the media. And if this is a different leak than his pillow talk leaks it isn't double jeopardy although it could easily be moot.

it looks more like him pretending to care.

I don't see how it's any more unfair than having an cis-woman with an unusual biological disposition towards height/stength taking part in a sport.

Yeah, that's smart. Calling it early has never been seen as a really stupid mistake before now.

Talk about your voter suppression.

Most of us associate food trucks with quick and cheap eats, but the Maille Mustard Mobile truck, currently touring Australia, is changing that. The upscale food truck is attempting to unite fast food and haute cuisine with a series of gourmet mustards and hotdogs. But while most of their menu items cost an already pricey $10 to $20, Mashable reports they're also offering a $73 hot dog creation called the Haute Dog.

While $73 is a lot to pay for any meal—let alone a humble hot dog—Maille Mustard claims the Haute Dog is well worth the price. But it’s not the fluffy brioche bun or Australian angus beef sausage that drive up the Haute Dog’s price. Rather, it’s the mustard. The Daily Mail explains that the Haute Dog is topped with a black truffle-infused mustard, and comes with a 100ml jar of the mustard on the side. Since 100ml jars of the Maille black truffle mustard, themselves, sell for $73 a pop, and can only be purchased at a handful of boutique stores around the world, the Haute Dog experience really is all about the mustard.

Spending $73 on a jar of mustard may sound no less absurd than spending that amount on a hot dog, but Maille says both the special mustard and the Haute Dog have been a hit for their company. "It is a very tasty, very sought after mustard," Maille’s Joe Barrs told Mashable. "We had a tub of it air freighted to us about a month ago ... and we've sold out."
