Voting has felt good ever since I became a U.S. citizen. Since then I have moved from Crowley's district to Rangel's, but have never skipped an election. Use it or lose it.

"Why do all these Nazis keep sucking..." Oh, never mind.

Yes, you have to be kind, but firm, with your horse if you want a nice horse. You don't "break" horses, but I've seen cowboys tarp a horse if it was extremely untrustworthy. They can't afford a horse that wants to kill it's rider. Those spade bits are horrible. They should be outlawed. Nose to knee is what I was taught for runaways. Or, just bail. Too old to bail, ground hard, LOL!

A few years ago, some horse club in Barrington or Barrington Shores(rich people horse country) was doing a horseback riding demo for some people in a large pasture. A horse got spooked and ran away with the rider, who obvs. didn't earn her breeches. The horse took off straight for the crowd, the lady couldn't or didn't stop it, and it ran through the crowd, killing one person.

I luurve horses, but I don't trust them anymore. A few people were killed at the livery I used to ride at, too.

In Arlington, MA when even liberals clutched pearls our wretched old representative was pressed on supporting marriage equity in a rather rude question about sex. He replied that he was most certainly not supporting gay *sex* as anyone who has ever been married would know because marriage is the best way to end sex. The dude was re-elected.

Seems it worked. America's most openly Nazi congressman has been re-elected by his racist supporters. Fuck those people.

I don't see why you can't both be right, except that it might imply a greater degree of slyness than King possesses.

Mine either. The poll workers said that they'd run out of them by eight in the morning. Frankly, hearing that pleased me a lot more than getting the sticker would have. :)

What a ride! After campaigning so hard over the last 10 years to have, for the first time, a candidate who is projected to win is just strange. Smh

But the message was so clear. Pack your bags, Jeffy. You're going back to the tree.

Make our farmers great again? Trump knows how to do that. Throw twelve billion dollars of taxpayer money around to his big agribusiness friends and pretend it's not socialism.

We sent our applications in for absentee ballots, and I went to the county board website to check on them when all our friends started getting their ballots in the mail. There was no record of receiving our applications, which were mailed in separate envelopes. I didn't want to go all conspiracy theory like Ms. Gnome immediately did, but, while I can see one of them getting lost in the mail, both?

Fooled them. We went to the early voting location and voted our usual straight Dem ticket.

Bwahaha!
