Last night I discovered that Colorado does caucuses, so I get to caucus on March 1st. The last election with a caucus was my first year in Colorado and I guess I missed it completely, then they didn't have one 4 years ago because Obama was the only candidate on the Democratic side.
I feel like someone in Bloom County going off to caucus. Wish me Opus.
I'm for Bernie, but if Hillary gets the nod I'll vote for her.
In utterly unrelated news, for all the number people here, Feb. 2 is the 33rd day in the year. And, as it's a leap year, there are 333 days remaining. [link]
Opus for all!
I talked to my coworker who is the Tai Chi enthusiast and we told me he tried the place I went last week and found their instruction kind of lacking and there's another place only slightly farther away that he recommends. And that, it turns out, is where the guy I studied with 20+ years ago teaches. So I would rather go there but I can't figure out exactly how to do that. They have a group practice every Saturday with a web-based sign-up, but Saturdays are iffy for me at best and group practice is pretty hard to jump into cold. Shot off an email inquiring, will see what comes of that.
Meanwhile, I'm of two minds of going tonight if I don't think I'm going to keep on with this place. Hm.
My grandfather was Canadian, but that's not
good enough,
apparently.
I am a yellow dog Democrat, so I'll vote Sanders or Clinton. I'm voting Sanders in the primary, though. I think Hillary needs lefty pressure.
Since M is Canadian, we have to look in to getting Peanut registered up there. She's a dual-anchor baby!
With Trump, he is obviously saying whatever he thinks will get him elected, and I don't think most of it comes from any true conviction, while with Cruz I think he is a batshit crazy true believer.
This will give you some idea about Cruz' popularity with his peers:
I love this. It has a tweet from his college roommate.
Getting emails blaming me for not smothering Ted Cruz in his sleep in 1988. What kind of monster do you think I am? A really prescient one?
Either way, ick.
I think the Bernie supporters who are threatening to write in/stay home have fallen for the nixon-era fallacy that ruining the country will Wake People Up amd Start the Revolution...since people have said that.well, my whole life, and it never happened, well, @@. Also, by and the large, they aren't going to end up in breeding farms because they miscalculated...ok, I'm exaggerating, but not as much as I wish to be.
That guy's tweets are hysterical.
