Wednesday
I live in a city of 17,000 people. Yesterday, we had a school bond vote, which was approved by 73% of the voters. All 1,900 of us. Yep, a whopping 11% of us either actually cared enough to vote or even knew that there was a measure on the ballot. While I am sure there were a lot of people who decided it didn’t matter one way or the other whether our kids have classrooms, there are probably just as many who had no idea there was an election. Until yesterday morning, I wasn’t aware of it. C’mon, folks, put out a voters’ guide once in a while, please? Okay, enough grumping, it’s time to look at the news.
I see we’re making friends with Libya. It looks like freedom passed out from heat exhaustion doing all that marching throughout Iraq and Afghanistan. Took democracy down with it as well, I’d say. What exactly makes this crazy oil-rich dictatorship more loveable than Saddam’s?
