I don't know about a Libertarian comptroller being absurd; I once voted on that line for city comptroller, because I didn't like the other choices. I figured that anyone whose basic philosophy was to keep the government from spending money would be meticulous about checking every single expendenture. (Also, they would have no chance.)

Another think you might consider doing is calling Hevesi's office and telling the people there exactly how you feel. Maybe that would convince Hevesi to make contrition tomorrow.
