Under the Dome Quotes
It wasn't Argentina.
- Chrissy Pearson, press secretary to Gov. Beverly Perdue, on June 25 regarding Perdue's February vacation destination, which Perdue has refused to disclose to the public but was known to her husband (who went along), staff, security and the lieutenant governor, in contrast to S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford's secret trip to Argentina to see his mistress.

Where's Waldo, I mean Beverly? New Contest
Chrissy is rather flippant about her response, but this secret trip raises two concerns for me:
- Given all of the problems the state is in, why was she even taking a vacation less than 30 days after she was inagurated?
- If transparency is so important to her, why doesn't she just come out and tell us instead of us speculating or wondering if she has a problem. Was there a medical procedure that she required, a cosmetic concern, or did she go some place that she is embarrassed to admit to her democratic supporters?
NEW CONTEST: Guess where she went and the winner gets to go with Perdue the next time she flies her jet to the western governor's mansion in Asheville. There is certainly plenty of room in both the jet and her summer mansion.
