It's funny how you can have a terrible day (like me yesterday) and follow it up with an awesome day (like me today).
I am on the emotional rollercoaster of thinking a girl might really like me, but every day between now and when we actually get together is getting really fucking hard.
I am 30. I shouldn't be getting fucked up over this shit, but it has honestly been waaaay too long since I felt this way about someone, and all I have are a couple of social outings and a mountain of texting.
Gah.
edit: so yesterday was awesome, and today sucks. We flipped our days.

So I bought a book of political anecdotes. Liked this one.
A speechwriter has a senator for a boss; book doesn't say who, unfortunately. The senator's a dick. Made impossible demands on the staff, tooted his own horn, gave no credit to the underlings or anything else besides himself.
So one day this senator shows up in a panic and tells the speechwriter, "I've got to make a speech on energy on the Senate floor in one hour. I need a 20-point energy plan and a compelling speech by then. Bring it to me down on the floor."
One hour later, the speechwriter shows up on the floor with a stack of index cards. The senator has no time to review the speech, so he just plunged in. "Today, I am pleased to announce a 20-point plan to free this great nation from the clutches of foreign oil dependency. Let me now outline my program." He flipped to the second card.
The card read, "Okay, you SOB, you're on your own."

I have a new soccer blog The Minnow Tank. Reading it psychically kicks Sepp Blatter in the bean bag.
I think I would enjoy that book, Gosling. What's it called? Also, would you perchance care to read my list of election trivia?
Speaker's Treasury of Political Stories, Anecdotes and Humor. Copyright is 1990. Thing about it is there's a hell of a lot of un-Googleable stuff in here. Believe me, I've tried.
Oh, and sure, I can read it.

Yay! Unfortunately, my laptop is refusing to charge, so it'll have to wait a bit.
Rr. I got it, but the current file is corrupted, and the most recent .txt I have is missing three pages.

Eh, my Halloween was primarily spent being the guy handing out candy.
Something I've been doing the last couple years to drive up traffic-- it took an hour ten to get someone to stop today-- is to hand out bonus candy for the first three kids to knock on the door. (Knock being the operative word- the others in a group get their normal allotment.)
*The first kid to knock this year got a 5-ounce box of Sweet Tarts.
*The second kid got a 6-ounce box of Milk Duds.
*The third kid got a 6-ounce box of Hot Tamales.
None of the 'fun size' garbage. The full-size boxes.
Basically, if you're actually willing to get off of the really popular street a couple houses away, I'm willing to be really, really generous. (One year we gave out soda in addition to the candy.)

Last time I added anything, it was 12 pages. Single-spaced, mind you. It's annoying, but I can replace the lost material. By the way, which Supreme Court decision was the one that put an end to multi-member and multiple at-large Congressional districts?
There was Thornburg v Gingles, '86, that basically codified a precedence for moving away from at-large districts on racial grounds... but they certainly still exist, AFAIK?
I wanted to stay out, but we walked around so much and I was so tired after all that that I had to come back home.... I feel lame for that but oh well. Plenty of people got my costume though. Very simple. Pulled together very short notice (and very cheaply too):

No. Every Congressional district must elect one and only one Representative to the House, and only states with a single seat in the House may (and must) have an at-large seat. I believe the same is true for state legislatures, and I know it's not for stuff like town council.

Got lots of smiles and laughs and hi-5s.
She's never seen it, or any Alien/Predator movies. She doesn't know what they do, or what they look like, or what's going to happen.
This is going to be awesome.

My mind is blown
Don't some multimember districts still exist?

I don't particularly like parties, sir.
It's probably Wesberry v. Sanders, but not 100% on that.

I don't think so, that seems to be dealing with a different, though related, issue. I'll probably find out at some point.
