Nice.
In the future we won't elect presidents. We'll have a primary, then Nate Silver will go into a spice trance and pick the winner.

I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
billytea definitely knows more than I do about this stuff, or at least more than I remember. Wowza.

I think that right now the more egregious culprit is that the electoral process - and here I'm thinking specifically of districting - is in most states under partisan political control.
Which is one place where California is ahead of the curve. We approved the appointment of a non-partisan Redistricting committee, and their work was IIRC reviewed by the State Supreme Court, and yesterday the electorate approved the redistricting. No more gerrymandering!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I am on vacation!
Of course, I still need to clean the house, do some gardening I didn't get to this weekend, take Dita to the vet, go into the office to get a flu shot, decide what to pack, do laundry, get a check in the mail to my sister, possible buy new pants, shave my legs, clean out the fridge, and do a bunch of other stuff I am forgetting.
But I am on vacation. WHOOO
