Is anyone else as sick to death as I am over the election cry babies?

I just keep waiting for that fine corporate citizen Bill Gates to announce Vote 3.0, Microsoft's answer to the errors inherent in our current system. AND, coming from Louisiana, I must say "You ain't seen nuthin!"

My favorite (ABSOLUTELY TRUE, I SWEAR!) annecdote from this year's elections in the Sportsman's Paradise was a Black Civil Rights Lawyer who tried to get on the ballot for Attorney General with his nickname, just like all the white candidates with names like "Bubba" and "Lucky" and "Ragin Cajun" and even "Coonass" (a loving perjoritive for rural cajuns).

Except his nickname was Art "Super Nigger" Jones!!!! And they disallowed it! A Brother can't get a break from da Man, no how.....

Larry Elder (a conservative Black Radio and TV host here) had him on national radio for three hours, you can't BUY that kind of publicity!

And I agree, all my Brasilian friends think it is amazing the effort we will put in to count the votes and get it right, they are impressed, not laughing.

But what would LBJ have to say....
