So what everyone knew is proving to be true. Absentee votes by at least one dead person; the Miami-Dade absentee ballot administration run by two yokels who had previously been convicted of illegal voter registration and election fraud, and more from the United Kingdom.

And his pal, the new director of the Environmental Protection Agency, Christine
Todd Whitman, has proposed that the Florida
ballots be sealed for 10 years!!!
Of course you knew I'd delete it - I made that clear when you posted the same expression the other night. Of course, you'll also understand that by posting it deliberately again I'm upgrading that informal you got to a formal warning.
Tread cautiously - I'm just about out of the "holiday" spirit and I'm here for several more hours yet.

Aw, MichelleG, I'm sorry to hear the holiday spirit was so fleeting for you this year...
Really, if you knew me, you'd understand I've merely been exercising an ancient rite -- the one that dictates obeisance to krs during Christian holidays and various other pagan dates.
btw... did you ever see the movie, Harold and Maude? There's this one scene in it where Maude and Harold are spiriting a stolen municipal tree across a bridge in California to replant it in Muir Woods so that it will recover from its city-induced asthma. On their way, they're pulled over by a motorcycle cop. He decides to arrest them for possession of a stolen tree, a stolen shovel, and a stolen car... Maude, sizing the fellow up and impatient to get on with the really *important* activity of saving the sick tree, tells him that he's not himself when he's being officious. "That's the curse of a government job," she says.
Anyway, she and Harold make off with the stolen tree, stolen shovel and stolen car, and the cop is left stranded on the bridge -- after he SHOOTS at them (over a TREE, can you imagine??! )
Anyway, I'm not going to be the one to scrooge you out of your last lump of holiday coal... Merry Christmas once again

Re: government jobs
A politician in a certain peninsular state has a brother-in-law who is too stupid to steal votes and too wimpy to intimidate anyone so he gives hima job polishing the brass cannon on the courthouse yard.
All is well for a while but the brother-in-law wants more money. Time after time he complains to his sister but no deal.
He gets no respect from his boss despite the relationship.
Finally in frustration he sees there is no advancement to be had here so he takes his meager savings buys a brass canon - and goes into business for himself.
