Election Day is coming... go vote!
So I'm all registered in this great state, and I've been getting my mailings and watching the news and listening to NPR. I watched two out of three of the debates (the first one I missed due to incorrectly assuming it would not be live on the West Coast). I think I'm actually almost an informed voter! Go me! I just need to figure out all these Propositions, and which ones I should vote Yes on and which ones deserve an emphatic NO! And our dear old governor, who claims to be a Republican but whose policies seem entirely Democratic, is actually jiving mostly with my viewpoints, which is good. Also, I'd like to look into the judicial elections, because there's nothing in the world worse than having bad people in your judicial system. In my opinion, anyway. That's not one you get lots of propaganda thrown at you about, either. Will require a bit more research.
And, after all that political babble, a joke found on a blog:
A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below.
She shoulted to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."
The man consulted his portable GPS and replied,"You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.
She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be a Democrat."
"I am," said the man. "How did you know?"
"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me."
The man smiled and responded, "You must be a Republican".
"I am," replied the baloonist, "How did you know?"
"Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where you're going. You've risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but somehow, now it's my fault."
Ahahahahaha! Funny, right? *laugh*
