RuminateThis: Gubernetorial duties: "…my Governor, Ted Kulongoski of Oregon, has been in Boston as part of the state delegation to the Democratic Convention this week, but he’s leaving today to return home. Pressing state business, you say? Important political event or leaving on some overseas trade/travel junket, you might inquire? Needs to start his vacation and cut some brush around the ranch, you may snarkily query?

No.

Governor Kulongoski is coming home to attend a funeral. Just as he has done at least 18 other times over the last year and a half, Kulongoski is going to attend the funeral for Lance Corporal Bryan Kelly of Klamath Falls, the seventh Oregon Marine to die in Iraq, killed on July 16. "
