I don't know what the comptroller does
The comptroller comptrolls the, um....
The comptroller gives free tickets to trolls.
Actually, the comptroller is like the chief accountant, right?
eta: x-posty comptroller goodness....
All right, yes, date and shop and hang out and go to school and save the world from unspeakable demons. You know, I wanna do girlie stuff!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I've only gotten one automated call that I know of, from Elijah Cummings. I'm not sure who he was campaigning for since he's running unopposed and I deleted the message.
Just watch, I'll have a kazillion when I get home.
I'm trying to sort out all the bond and constitutional dooverdingies.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I like that NYC does its business on the odd years, so there's always something, but it's almost never overwhelming.

If you figure it out, let me know.

I've had several from Bill.
Aw, man, I only got one from Rob Black (running for Supervisor -- I'm just going to go with other people's advice on this one, because how the hell should I know?) and one from some scratchy-voiced lady who claimed to be a senator.
So, I've been looking over all my voting info, and it looks like almost all our options have to do with taxing and spending, is that right? Quite a lot of spending, too. I suppose that's what one does, but -- WOW. I've never been asked to vote directly on billions of dollars before.
I should be at work now. Leaving!

Ann, that's a ferret.
I've only had one robocall this election season. And that was sports-related, not election-related. Far, far too many mailings.
Both WI (where I grew up) and VA (where I live now) have marriage amendments on the ballot. I'm not optimistic.

Is that just a usual Magic 8 Ball, or does it have answers taylored to tech stuff?
It's a give-away from CDW, it's red and has tech-specific answers, like "Reboot" or "It works on my machine" and "What do you expect, it's a beta?"

I need to talk with my supervisors about voterating tomorrow, as in, if I'm late.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I just looked up who the Republican House candidate is in my district. He's a Libertarian doctor whose main campaign issue seems to be medical marijuana.
