I am telling you, you can’t do that. You have to pretend to be sort of indifferent about it. Like ok, if they pick me I get $15 a day when normally I would be sitting in the trailer watching Lou Dobbs and Geraldo, which is fun but doesn’t pay. And then, after you get picked, you drive home. Lock the door. Make sure no one has followed you home. And only then, you can get all giddy.

Wow, I just realized I could use that $15/day to buy more scratchoff tickets. Do I multiply 15 by 1 or divide 15 by 1 to figure out how many I could buy?
OK, I am quitting now.

Talk to us, NC TPMers. What’s going on with the judge invalidating the voter ID and income tax cap constitutional amendments put on the ballot by the legislature and approved by voters:
NC judge throws out voter ID and income tax constitutional amendments
A judge has just thrown out two amendments to the North Carolina Constitution that voters approved in November.
One of the amendments was to implement a voter ID requirement, and the other was a cap on the state income tax rate.
The North Carolina General Assembly is so gerrymandered that its members don’t truly represent the people of the state and thus should never have proposed constitutional amendments in the first place, Wake County Superior Court Judge G. Bryan Collins wrote in his ruling that was issued late Friday afternoon.
While that ruling would be fantastic news, it seems like a really heavy lift to wipe out the amendment after voters approved it.
So, is this the start of reversing many of the actions of a gerrymandered legislature, or does this get cut off at the knees? Or, does this all get mixed up in the partisan-gerrymandering cases pending at SCOTUS?
