Two nit-wits running for the US Senate from Kentucky spent 80 MILLION on their campaigns. Seems like that much money could have been spent on other important things instead of being pissed away on TV advertisement. Glad it's over!

Thank you, Citizens United.

I already had my wisdom teeth out.
I don't have sinus problems.
I have no issues with hernias.
My cat likes my tuba playing.

Stop whining about *not* being in the advertising business.

Sorry.

Talking about our political system in general should not cause the thread to be locked, as long as you don't take a political position or advocate a specific party or candidate. I don't see a problem with any of these posts. Personally I'm pretty upset with all politicians in general, no exceptions.

We used the electronic voting machines.

The incumbent member of the U.S. Congress won handily despite facing a 20 count indictment for financial crimes and perjury. I didn't vote him, but I'm pleased that he was re-elected since it really doesn't matter which blithering idiot holds the office and the trial beginning in December could be quite entertaining.

I voted for losers (people and ballot initiatives) across the board. Oh well...

Someone close to me who lives in Arlington, Virginia found that to vote for the "Y" candidates on his touch-screen voting machine he had to press THREE times to get those votes to register.

Testing the "X" buttons, he found that those only required one touch.

He reported it to a poll worker, and also to a state-wide irregularities-reporting phone number.

The Simpsons did it for 2008 :

The follow-up for 2012 is also brilliant:

Here is a link to a comedian's really funny look at our political process, also really sad.

Speed limit on NYC local roads is now 25mph, unless posted otherwise.

[bort]

Uh huh, right...

[bighonkintuba]

Suggested speed limit...

[bort]

Just another one of Warren Wilhelm's brilliant ideas...

[bighonkintuba]

According to the local paper, speed limit enforcement in my area has doubled. I'm glad for that.

From our New Horizons board minutes this month:

"Carl M****n stated that their [jazz band] drummer uses his own rums for rehearsal and gigs."

Just returned from 4 days at the beach, Cape San Blas, FL. Colder than the proverbial witch's whatever. There is just something about wearing sweats and jackets(hoods too) that diminishes the value of a beach trip. Brrrrrrrr.
