If you like having your political commentary delivered by a guy who is hung over, working on 3 hours of sleep, and who just drove 6 hours to get to the TV studio, you should tune in this weekend to \”Up Front with Mike Gousha.\” I am on with Chris Miklos discussing the two political conventions.

I got up early on Friday morning and made the drive from Minneapolis to Milwaukee to get to the studio on time. I then had to turn right around and drive back home to Madison, getting home at 6 PM. The good news is that I didn\’t have to change wardrobe – on the show, I just wore the suit I slept in the night before.

We filmed two sections – one for television, and one for the web. They actually made me wear makeup – I presume it\’s the same stuff they put on corpses in the morgue.

Tonight, I returned from my 5-day trip up to Minneapolis for the Republican National Convention. After being gone so long, it was nice to see there wasn\’t some other guy living in my house that my kids called \”daddy.\”

However, I did have a choice to make – so think about what you would do in this situation:

On Monday, I got to the hotel and started pulling clothes out of my bag to put them in my hotel room drawers. After I pulled out a Brewer t-shirt, folded it, and put it away, I looked down at the floor and began to panic.

It was a pair of women\’s underwear. All by themselves, on the floor, staring at me.

Now, I am certain this is a pair of my wife\’s drawers that got stuck to one of my shirts in the laundry. But suppose there\’s a .0001% chance they\’re not hers, and you come home from a week long trip and say \”honey, here\’s your underwear?\” Is it worth the risk?

On the other hand, even if you\’re sure they\’re hers, do you throw out a perfectly good pair of underwear? It\’s not like we\’re the Hiltons – we can\’t just go crazy and start throwing out our perfectly serviceable undergarments.

So I got home tonight and started doing laundry. And there they were, in my bag. I rolled the dice and said \”honey, I think I have some of your underwear in my bag,\” and showed them to her.

As it turns out, they were hers. But she said, \”Are you crazy? You should have thrown them away.\”
