Dinner was had here [link]
It's very good. And was just barely warm enough to sit outside wearing a light coat or sweater.
Don't I get a cookie?

Thrive to spite them
Most of the political ads I've seen are either for NY or NH races. The only one I remember for Vermont is the Shumlin pushed for GMO labeling.
The Dems in NH have been running "too extreme for the Tea Party" ads about Marilinda Garcia. From what I can tell she's against abortion, wants doctors to go to jail for performing abortions, wants to abolish the Dept of Education, voted against the Violence against Women act and something else.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
In IL it's all about painting the other candidate as the most corrupt. Rauner blames Quinn for 100 years of corruption and Oberweis tries to conflate Dick Durbin with Nixon.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
In Brooklyn all the political ads are over and done with because the real battle is over the Democratic primary. *holds liberal bubble tight and never lets go*

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Most of the ads I see (although I try very hard to ignore political ads, so my perceptions may be way off) are for or against propositions rather than candidates. California.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
The only political ads I've seen in Cincinnati are for the Kentucky primary, because that race is such a HUGE deal, and the network channels broadcast in both Cincy and Northern Kentucky.
I wouldn't even know what was going on in our own races if my neighbors didn't have yard signs. (One sign is a life-sized standee of a candidate campaigning as a write-in candidate. You really have to have a lot of faith in people, that they won't vandalize your sign to say things like "Fuck the police!" and "I love it in the butt!") (Which is why I'm not allowed to get a standee.)

Because you don't have faith in people or because you would not be able to resist vandalizing your own standee?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Here in Arkansas a bunch of ads are about Bloomberg taking people's guns away and how Tom Cotton will save them. So I guess he's running for mayor of NYC or chairman of the board of Bloomberg L.P.?
