So. I may have a new cat this evening. Or not?

I emailed lady about her cat this morning in the space of two emails she went from "Oh I won't give my cat away to just anyone, I need to meet you and my husband wants to meet you." to "I can come to you today, and if I don't find a home for the cat today I will have him put to sleep." So she's coming to my house at six, with all the cat accessories...and the cat?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

The Repubs are against the constitutional convention question--I saw an ad with former Gov. Edgar urging voters to say no.

I've heard talk about this, but the question on the ballot isn't worded to sound like it would open up the entire constitution to review. I'm confused and more than a little wary of the whole thing.

I liked the Wyatt Cenac analysis of the election on TDS last night.

I'd double check, but the rule on such things is "when in doubt vote no". Also, another rule is "constitutional conventions are really unpredictable; don't vote for them unless you are ready for radical change, and are pretty damn sure you have a enough support for that radical change to go your way."

For what it is worth, the Illinois League of Women Voters opposes the convention. [link]

Ah, I just answered my main question by looking more closely at the ballot. The Constitutional Convention is a separate question from the recall process question. Doh.

The status is NOT quo.

Jumping to the end to see if Kat's around--Kat, your class is all set on Brave New World and Handmaid's Tale, right? You just need 1984 and Lord of the Flies?
