"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I have one question on the ballot I really can't figure out. It's about turning the secretary of state position into a lt. governor position, where they would then run together on one ticket after being selected in primaries.

And now, already, after typing it out, I can see I don't want to do that. The current candidate running, Chris Deschene is the first Navajo to ever do so. I think he stands a real chance at being the highest elected Navajo official in our state government. But if he had to run as a lieutenant governor, it would never happen. No one would take that risk.

So there we go.

What else can I resolve just by typing it out?

My goodness, voting is hard.

Can you explicate? Did Republicans play an important role in designing voting rules where you are, or gain control of implementation?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Thanks for the kind words on the book, all.

I'm trying to kill the symptoms of this cold so I can go to Carnivale. I have my Hit Girl costume all ready to go, my hair is freshly dyed purple, and I'm trying to will the mucus to GTFO so I can enjoy Halloween.

Typo, she's in Washington (where I am also, and have not done my ballot--but my roommate was doing his the other night, and all these propositions! Goodness! Some I'm clear on, but some?)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm also wary of trusting my local paper's view of things, since we're in a Republican area.

I think I'm done, though. Fingers crossed for Patty Murray. Unfortunately, I don't think the local Democrat running for the House has a chance against the incumbent dinosaur.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

But here's some awesome photos from the Rally to Restore Sanity yesterday: [link]

I love "What do we want? Evidence-based change. When do we want it? After peer review." Hee!

Typo's also in WA.

Voting is hard when you don't know WHERE THE HELL you put your ballot, by the way.

Happy anniversary to the House of Reason!!

all these propositions! Goodness! Some I'm clear on, but some?

I have to go into work at 6:30-7:00 am on Wednesday so I can enter into my database the results on all of the state ballot issues around the country. Some of them are real doozies, especially in Colorado. There's one (I think in Oklahoma) that prevents Sharia law from being imposed.
