Sharp-eyed readers no doubt note I goofed in “Foxx at the Wheel” (below): Mel Watt was named to head the Housing Finance Agency, which is not a Cabinet appointment.
Blame Twitter. I had seen a tweet about “Watt to Housing.” I misunderstood. It’s like what The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart said recently when a guest asked if he had read a certain book: “Well, no, but I did read a tweet about it.”
Speaking of Charlotte, one TAPster noted that Anthony Foxx’s selection is another sign of “the ascendency of Charlotte onto the national and statewide stage. Remember it wasn’t long ago when a Charlotte guy could not be elected statewide.”
Now Charlotte guys are Governor, House Speaker, DOT Secretary-designates and potential Mortgage Czar.
We can officially retire the mythical “Charlotte curse.”
