Yeah, it's tough for those who don't speak English to get on the ballot. But like Ryan, Flapjacks is the strong, silent, intelligent type in any language....
'Land of idiots'? ITA. Except one teeny tiny fire board race in a little town in the mountains [for a change]. It could have been better, but at least they didn't go backwards. There were some truly frightening choices on that slate, and IMH experience, too many idiots in that town. Exactly how many? Usually, just enough to swing elections.
It does feel good that my concerns this year are more for the community in general than our main livelihood....
At least Jerry Brown won in CA. There were some New England states I was waiting to hear about from friends and family that were at least mixed, or held- phew. Other places? Scary!
When I say the "land of idiots" here in FL/SoFL, I mean it. For Congress, there's now a militant who wouldn't be believable on a sit-com because he's too bizarre mixed with scary and someone who I described to zbyszko as "Oliver Twisted 20 years later." Even the hair's the same! The governor's race wasn't called until lunch or so today with a 1% margin. The winner? A criminal who spent $73 million of his money to buy his way in. How did he earn it? Well, among other things, he was CEO of Columbia Health when it was the largest defrauder of Medicare and other government programs in history (so it could profit and he could get bonuses). The company paid over a $billion in fines and he got richer. Yay, us!

That's one noble rabbit profile, eh? Beats the looks of a lot of those officially running, IMHO....

No steps backwards is a good thing!
