Party Time

A busy couple of days, of which, in a sense, the final was the least of it. Still, even at the puny wages paid to nurse's aides, I've made a bit of money in these couple of days, and we can use some of that.

I finally get a couple of hours of free time, and wouldn't you know it, Kathe's out doing necessary things. Oh, well -- gives me a chance to scamper up the lookout tower and make a post here.

I tried this gag on November 7th, but nobody bit. Maybe it will go over this time. I notice that the election is still in the news, and even if the suspicious circumstances in Ohio turn out to be just an amazing collection of bizarre coincidences (yeah, right), I suspect that elections will be on our minds for a good deal longer. Maybe even long enough for some useful reforms, that would be nice . . . .

Anyway, here's the recycled challenge:

You promised your grandmother on her deathbed that you would never allow your voter's registration to lapse. Going down to the courthouse to register at your new address, you find that a typographical error makes it impossible for you to register as a Democrat, Republican or independent. You must choose from one of the parties on the form; any form not completely filled out will be rejected. And this is the last day to register before the election.

So, what party do you choose?

Libertarian
Green
Constitution
Natural Law
Socialist Workers

heehee, "solipsist party"..isn't that an oxymoron?
I think i'd join the All-African Party by sole reason of the fact that I'm not African.

Tee hee. That would probably make them squirm a little -- which would doubtless do them some good.

Sotr of like the effect Log Cabin Republicans have on golf course Republicans.

The Cascadian National Party is where it's at, providing it's the group I'm thinking of.

There was a movement going on a while back that was discussing the possibility of taking British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Alaska, Washington (state), Oregon and California (that's all the west coast of the US, right?) and turning it into a new country.

This country was referred to as "Cascadia" -- not only would we control all of the western seaboard and, essentially, all trade with the Orient, we would have the "richest" areas of both countries all wrapped into one. We would be a self-sufficient nation, not depending on others for import/export income or product and become one of the most (if not the most) powerful nation on the planet.

Pipe dream? Yeah... no chance either federal gov't is going to let the split happen without a fight. Is it worth promoting it enough to get our feds to give us what is due? Yes, again! :-)
