I hope no one dressed up for Halloween as an unidentifiable dead guy. It would be really hard to prove what it did not refer to.

A plague of Asian ladybeetles. The air is full of them, and my hair is not immune, either.

No, see, someone else deploying the Great Communicator against us is national rhetorical security crisis

Seems counterproductive for the GOP. Otoh, I guess that any anger among the troops about not being able to vote by definition won't show up as votes for someone else.

If the past is any guide, the commission will flip us the bird and keep generating dodgy maps until some court says we have to live with it because there is no other way to have an election.

It took me quite a while to realize why Canvas help was offline. I needed them to find the attendance record of a student who withdrew from the class--and thus vanished from the attendance roll call.

To be fair, MLK, Jr had to be considerably pablumated for lots of folks to be ok with him.

Either that or I have been an idiot to stay out of book clubs all these years.

Ack. I was planning to have for my Ohio protest a sign that said "from Portland to Loveland LET FREEDOM RIBBIT"--but decided it was probably too niche.
