mark has something funny to say….care to listen?

so…sitting on the couch and watching the news….4 people were critically hurt after a plane crash at the festival landing strip next to Burning Man. mark came in with his laundry. it just finished it’s cycle in the dryer. so i told him about it. i looked up more on news.google.com and told him a few more details. apparently there was another person hurt in an earlier plan crash, same spot, on friday. so then mark said….”well, i said you can crash at the party, but i didn’t mean literally.”

was that tasteless?

argh….more recall news…..some of the candidates accuse the media of turning this election into a circus. then the editors cut to one independent candidate singing his heart out. yeah, they wander why it’s a circus. i’m quite disappointed by the lack of organization going into this recall – until somebody get’s a snazzy debate going, it’s difficult to distinguish anybody for their issues, platforms, and voices. it’s almost as bad as trying to pick out a democratic candidate for president. so it’s tough…..i’m against the recall because it’s truly a waste of money. but if i vote no – i lose my oppertunity to put in my say on who should be the replacement. it sucks how the vote is setup. you have to vote on whether or not to have the recall….and at the same time – choose a replacement.

What will a recall ballot look like?
It will be in two parts. In the first part, voters will vote for or against the recall. In the second part, the voter may select a replacement candidate. If a majority of the voters vote “yes” on the first question, then the recall is successful, and the replacement candidate who gets the most votes is elected for the unexpired term of office.

so….there’s that.
