Pretty sure I might have gotten a comment on Facebook deleted. Apparently "phallic" is a bad word to use with regards to Disney.
Not that OK, OK as in OkayI am always serious.(I couldn't tell if you knew that and were joking, or if you are being serious)
Seriously funny, that is...
...Yeah, I once had a waiter ask me if my girlfriend and I were expecting, because I was making so many dad jokes.
You ARE aware of the politically charged debate over voter ID's, shazbot? And what do you mean by EFV?
On the surface of it, having voter IDs does sound reasonable, but the problem is that a certain party has been using it to disenfranchise minorities and makes it more difficult for some segments of the population to vote. Until it can be guaranteed that said IDs will be issued to absolutely everybody, it's going to be controversial. Probably going to need to throw in a federal voter database as well.
EMV. My bad. No, it occurs to me Democrats used poll taxes and literacy tests to suppress black Republican voting in the postwar South, in addition to masked goons terrorizing people in front of their houses, or screaming at them through bullhorns, but nowadays the parties have switched and only Democrats run around in masks screaming at black women at cafes for being Republicans.
Somehow I may have... nope I didn't get that backwards.
Either accept that we need both properly secured voter identification and secured ballot handling, or admit hypocrisy. Garbage in, garbage out, as the computing world says. Unless the input is as tamper-proof as the output, you merely shift the point of failure from outside hacking to ballot-stuffing. Like how my wife was somehow registered across the state in a Democratic precinct...
My WTF Alf the day is that I am still angry about someone nearly causing me to drive into them yesterday, and hypothetically nearly causing me to crash into someone else.Mingery loves company.
Also, you should be proud of Scandinavian-related topics after all we've done for the Scots! We gave you the cornerstones of your very culture, like red hair and alcoholism!
That is beautiful.
