...and I have the mother of all sinus headaches, so I'm in a baaaaad mood!
Guess I'll be voting NO!!!!! extra hard this year.
And, no, I won't be mindlessly voting anybody's party line. There are, of course, a couple of races where it's really important to vote (R) so the crazy (D) doesn't get in (not, e.g., that the leftenant-goobernator has any actual power, but I'm sure His Imperial Majesty Gavin I could find some way to abuse the office), and some pointless protest votes (hi, Kennita!), but there's at least one incumbent (D) on my vote-for list, too.
And the ballot measures? Mostly NO, mostly for the usual reasons, though there are a couple of sort-of-yeses. For the unfortunately-numbered 19 (should have been 20, 'cause it's cool to be 420, but 419 is just silly grammatically-deficient spam), even though it's wimpy and (as Patterico points out) badly written. If it passes? Make sure your "NO SMOKING" signs aren't specific as to what isn't to be smoked, and review your local anti-smoking ordinances; for those who are worried about second-hand pot smoke in the non-smoking section, I'd suggest that the current medical-marijuana pretense is more problematic in that regard, because, hey, it's medicine.
Update: off to the mobile-home park about 0830, and there was little activity. Maybe I should round up a dog-botherer costume and a caprine, and have a quick vet-out-the-goat drive. A bit of awkwardness with the huge, double-sided, paper mark-sense ballots, but they're simple and unambiguous and can be meaningfully recounted, manually if need be.
Update 2: time to knock off the robocalls, kids. They just make me mad, but it's too late to make me vote against you, so it's all rather pointless.
