Problem is, a huge part of the bell curve is "below average" and they vote. And that includes the too cool for school, snide and jaded. And the "both sides are the same" idiots. Not voting and voting conservative is just stupid.

Once I forgot to bring my cheat sheet of judicial picks on election day. What to do? I voted ‘no’ on all of them ‘cause I wasn’t going home to pick up the list. Too lazy “busy.”

Now between mail-in voting and the Interwebz, there’s no excuse for an ill-informed vote.

Remember that judges are lawyers—it takes a really bad judge to get a low rating from a local bar association—they’re full of lawyers also too.

Despite this, my county manages to see the occasional crummy judge reelected anyway. One was removed from the bench right after reelection, no less.

This ain’t a drill....

As if. Baby Yoda would light him on fire with his mind and then waddle off for a nap.

It is very pompous and condescending.

Charles Koch is a big donor and influences his narrative there.

Surprising, considering his affair with King Ludwig of Bavaria.
