None of the above
It seems our choices for President come down to a senile fool who couldn’t do more to destroy the country if he tried versus a grifting con man who failed to destroy the Sith when he had the chance. If there was a time for none of the above this might be it. Right nowContinue reading “None of the above”
Corporations ARE people
The Delaware Legislature is moving legislation that would allow LLCs to vote in local elections in Seaford, a town of 8500 people. Who in their right mind would have had this on their bingo card?
Pot not that OK in OK.
There was an election in Oklahoma Tuesday to allow recreational use of marijuana. It went down in flames 62 percent to 38. Oklahoma allows medicinal marijuana for almost any medical condition.

Election garbage
After a slow start, election material finally arrived in my mailbox this week. Most of the races are not competitive, the issues not controversial and the candidates not wealthy. Even the dark money has been late getting into the game. The mailings have been worse than useless in influencing me and because of their glossyContinue reading “Election garbage”

In the Kansas gubernatorial race, former Kansas Senator Nancy Kassebaum crossed party lines and endorsed incumbent Laura Kelly for Governor again. What makes this endorsement more newsworthy than her previous one? This time Kelly’s opponent is Attorney General Derek Schmidt, who is from Independence. Kassebaum’s father is former governor Alf Landon, who made his fortuneContinue reading “Hometown Boy Gets Slapped Down.”
Elections are six weeks out..
..But you wouldn’t know it if you read the local papers. This should be the time we have profiles of the candidates for local offices. Since early voting begins in less than two weeks, this is more important than ever. There are some referenda on the ballot as well. Our local media think if theyContinue reading “Elections are six weeks out..”
Election Day
Today was primary election day in Kansas. I got to vote in the primary today for the first time. I am still an independent voter, but there was a constitutional amendment on the ballot. I got to the polling place today and there was a line for my precinct, but not the other precincts. ThereContinue reading “Election Day”
