You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Whoa. That's not usual, right?

I don't think so. Even after checking articles on it, I'm not sure I follow, but it seems in years past, Colorado caucuses had a vote for the nominee but delegates weren't pledged thereafter. Or something. That meant delegates for a losing candidate could then switch to the presumptive nominee in vote 1. But in 2012, apparently Ron Paul supporters used this to cause shenanigans, so the RNC changed the rules so any preference votes for candidates had to result in pledged delegates. Colorado didn't like it, and decided not to have any vote for a candidate at all.

Or along those lines. I feel I'm missing something.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Whoa. That's not usual, right?

CO's abstention will not save them in the Trumpocalypse. And MN will suffer greatly for their defiance.

I have a half baked fic in the back of my head where Trump's hairpiece is actually an alien life form controlling him. It wants Trump to win so it can get access to alien tech from Area 51 and return to its people. March 2017 Trump will wake up in the Oval Office with no idea how he got there.

I am willing to believe that could happen with or without an extra-terrestrial hairpiece.

Hey, do you think his plans to build a wall to keep out illegal aliens is actually a subconscious rebellion against his hairpiece? Because if that's all he really needs, I reckon Mexico would agree to finance a wall around just Trump's head.

Suzi, do you ever do anything without finding yourself i a leadership position?

I may be an introvert but I also have a low threshold for disorganization.

I can't speak to how the RNC works in Colorado. For the Dems, delegates are pledged by candidate. If we had had 15% or more of our group as undecided, we could have had an undecided delegate.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I am not happy to be back at work. Not at all happy.

I have also firmly passed through the period of being amused by Trump tormenting the Republican party into being terrified.

Coding and Sleeping

Pretty good night for Trump and Clinton. That's 10 of 15 states for Trump!

If Trump stays strong, I'm thinking this is the strategy. Recruit Mark Cuban for a third-party run. Who else would be better for splitting the Trump vote?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

My boss just said, on a conference call, "So that happened, and I'm like, whoa!"

facepalm

Who's Mark Cuban?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Sing it, sister. I'm going to be a holy terror at Peanut's Girl Scout/PTA/random activity meetings.

I have failed at going to bed at a reasonable time every night this week, so the fact that I got up early enough to catch the 6:30am shuttle is both amazing and terrible.
