Odd that those who want guns in schools, churches and public zoos do not want them at NRA events, political events or offices of politicians…I’d call it the acts of cowards but that would be redundant.

Seriously though, in Arkansas it was reported just a couple of weeks ago that they would allow concealed carry in the polling places in two of their counties on primary day. The insanity most assuredly continues unabated. Fucking nuts, am I right squirrel? And not the good kind.

None of the states in the Democratic primary are winner-take-all. Its an easy thing to remember. Republicans devise their delegate count differently. Ohio and Florida are winner-take-all states today for Republicans.

I thought being a graybeard was a permanent condition. At least until it turns white.
Does Ohio have photo ID to vote? What about to carry a deadly weapon?
Which is why I’ve gone from pop corn to a mix of pecans (locally grown…yum) and macadamias. Really, not figuratively.

When I was a kid (1950’s) guns were for plinking (.22’s), and hunting quail, pheasant and rabbits for dinner. Now today they are for status symbols, an accessory for college classrooms (like the omnipresent smart phone), bars (legal in AZ and likely other states and soon to be political rallies.
This is what the NRA and the GOP have brought us:
How the hell did he ever qualify to be a poll worker?

Alan Bethea, 45, took a .380 pistol out of his backpack during a heated exchange with co-workers at the Louisa May Alcott School polling station, according to the report. Though he did not point the gun at anyone, he allegedly verbally threatened those around him.
You just DO NOT … EVER… line those machines up diagonally ! !
