I can wait as well. In fact, I can wait so much that I still haven’t clicked.

Had you seen the news of Bannon being subpoenaed when you posted?

We should have t-shirts made.

Birds of a feather....

So true! Go through sexual assault and then spend an hour or more listening to 45's word salad? It’s like punishment.

I’m involved with a group working to end campus sexual assault (it’s a tall order I know; if I’m not part of the solution, I’m part of the problem...). During our holiday dinner we talked about WJC and Juanita Brodderick (sp?) and the fact that many feminists excused his behaviour at the time. Many of the folks in…

It’s Kilmister. Just the one “e”.

Indeed. His Wiki page is headed “Lemmy”. Just “Lemmy”.

I think I’ve found the new name for my imaginary band: Christmassacres! (with the exclamation mark; no “The”).

I think I’d rather be the person behind the person. Now to find someone to support.

You make a very good point. Though I think I’d prefer to work for someone who ran for office.

You know, my husband & I and a few friends had this solved one very late evening (we’d been drinking & settling all the ills of the world) sometime in the 2005-2006 timeframe. Unfortunately we didn’t record it and I don’t recall (see: drinking...). Mostly it was about the Federal Elections coming out of Federal Taxes…

I do get what you’re saying. I just find that the power of incumbency is so strong that people don’t challenge (whether at primary or at general) those that have gotten themselves elected.

That’s why I added the other option of the national holiday.

I’ll go with you on that. I mentioned Sunday because in many other countries Election Day is on Sundays, but a specific, set-aside holiday could very well work better.

I agree: the Electoral College does benefit all politicians (in myriad ways).

And back then there were so few platforms to talk to the public compared to what we have now.

Item #3 was inspired by Canada’s recent election. I recall hearing that the latest Canadian election cycle was something like 75 days and that it was considered long. It really shouldn’t take two years of campaigning for people to make up their minds.
