Go Grannies, Go Grannies, Go Granies, Go! (To borrow a phrase from an old surf music tune).

GO GRANNIES,.. GO GRANNIES,.. Go Grannies,.. GO.

Well I guess # 1 beat me to it,..

I thought I was seeing double,..

(EST) - Goon Nite.

THX,.. MAGIC HAND,.. (close tag).

Yes, Steve and OldTurk, I think it was by Jan and Dean, "Little Old Lady From Pasadena"? Here are some thoughts to keep the grandpas like me and the grandmas going:

PERKS OF BEING OVER 50
(If you are not over 50 this is what you have to look forward to)

1. Kidnappers are not very interested in you.
2. In a hostage situation you are likely to be released first.
3. No one expects you to run--anywhere.
4. People call at 9 pm and ask, " Did I wake you ???? "
5. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.
6. There is nothing left to learn the hard way.
7. Things you buy now won't wear out.
8. You can eat dinner at 4 pm.
9. You can live without sex but not your glasses.
10. You get into heated arguments about pension plans.
11. You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.
12. You quit holding your stomach in when anyone walks in.
13. You sing along with elevator music.
14. Your eyes won't get much worse.
15. Your investment in health insurance is finally paying off.
16. Your joints give accurate weather reports.
17. Your secrets are safe - they can't be remembered.
18. Your brain cell count is finally down to manageable size.
19. You can't remember who sent you this list.
20. But you know a threat to democracy when you see it!

Dredd,..

Good list,.. delightful humor,.. THX.

Voting is so time consuming and cumbersome,..

a right-wing coup de' tat is so very much less messy

and far more expedient.

2006 - Republicans
actively suppress the "LEFTIST" vote,.. in six states - Florida - Ohio - Arizona - Indiana - California - Missouri.

Thanks - I feel much better now!

Ya beat me to it - came by to post that. Isn't it swell?!

I was at the meeting. We had over a dozen speakers giving our reasons why the purchase decision should be postponed (at minimum), and there were a couple of speakers with an opposing viewpoint.

Warren Slocum, the Chief Elections Officer, also spoke to give his reasons for recommending the purchase and to explain some of the safeguards in place here (better than most places, in my opinion).

The supervisors voted unanimously to sign the contract and make the purchase.

The meeting minutes will eventually be posted here (but don't hold your breath LOL).

San Mateo County has already prepared a website to introduce voters to the new system.
