They're all right. They're a hell of a lot better than our elected state legislature. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 17/05/2015 05:37:35 AM

I know Cassidy (his son was entering Scouts as I was leaving it), and he's all right. He swung way right of center in order to get elected; I'm hoping he tones down a bit in the Senate.

Vitter is scum, as are all people who cheat on their spouses, but my big problem with him is his political opportunism. On the whole, though, anyone is better than my idiot governor.

The UK election system is as much a mystery as is cricket..... Anonymous2000 - 08/05/2015 05:44:31 PM 972 Views
It's basically the same system as yours, you do realize? For Congress, anyway. Legolas - 08/05/2015 06:32:54 PM 950 Views

Yes - but so do the Eurosceptic English. Legolas - 09/05/2015 09:27:39 AM 926 Views
The euro can only survive in one form Tom - 09/05/2015 05:39:34 PM 1019 Views
Devaluation isn't exactly what you'd call a long-term solution. Legolas - 09/05/2015 08:38:54 PM 903 Views
Oh, I certainly don't support the populist parties Tom - 11/05/2015 01:43:23 AM 758 Views
I agree, "far right" is a misleading label in some ways. Legolas - 11/05/2015 09:29:56 PM 950 Views
What fool or fools started the EU? Anonymous2000 - 09/05/2015 01:37:27 PM 805 Views
Because Europe was doing so well before then, right? Legolas - 09/05/2015 07:51:30 PM 920 Views

Yeah, it was tense enough from the outside... Legolas - 10/05/2015 10:42:53 PM 942 Views
So what is the SNP going to do if Cameron tells them (rightly) to sod off about another referendum? Tom - 11/05/2015 01:45:16 AM 879 Views
Not the SNP so much as the people. Rebekah - 11/05/2015 02:00:32 PM 1069 Views
So the mob rules now, does it? Tom - 11/05/2015 06:04:04 PM 916 Views

Wisconsin's drinking age The Shrike - 13/05/2015 01:09:53 PM 963 Views
Texas has similar laws random thoughts - 13/05/2015 01:44:29 PM 783 Views
I know. It's really sad that that's the most reasonable law anywhere in the US... Legolas - 13/05/2015 06:26:09 PM 940 Views
It's the same in Louisiana. Ghavrel - 14/05/2015 08:23:20 AM 889 Views
The states still can set the drinking age, incidentally. The feds can just withhold some funds. Ghavrel - 13/05/2015 02:55:51 AM 850 Views
They have still gutted the 10th amendment random thoughts - 13/05/2015 01:47:53 PM 844 Views
