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 679 Views
It's basically the same system as yours, you do realize? For Congress, anyway. Legolas - 08/05/2015 06:32:54 PM 623 Views
The Scots seem quite suicidal Tom - 09/05/2015 04:29:31 AM 596 Views
Yes - but so do the Eurosceptic English. Legolas - 09/05/2015 09:27:39 AM 631 Views
The euro can only survive in one form Tom - 09/05/2015 05:39:34 PM 690 Views
Devaluation isn't exactly what you'd call a long-term solution. Legolas - 09/05/2015 08:38:54 PM 607 Views
Oh, I certainly don't support the populist parties Tom - 11/05/2015 01:43:23 AM 497 Views
I agree, "far right" is a misleading label in some ways. Legolas - 11/05/2015 09:29:56 PM 657 Views
What fool or fools started the EU? Anonymous2000 - 09/05/2015 01:37:27 PM 521 Views
Because Europe was doing so well before then, right? Legolas - 09/05/2015 07:51:30 PM 632 Views

Yeah, it was tense enough from the outside... Legolas - 10/05/2015 10:42:53 PM 649 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 587 Views
Not the SNP so much as the people. Rebekah - 11/05/2015 02:00:32 PM 703 Views
So the mob rules now, does it? Tom - 11/05/2015 06:04:04 PM 625 Views

Why? Tom - 12/05/2015 07:10:31 AM 645 Views
I think that's enough Putin speeches for you for today. *NM* Legolas - 12/05/2015 06:37:23 PM 409 Views
Ha! It helps to not be 10 martinis in when you post, too. *NM* Tom - 12/05/2015 11:41:48 PM 378 Views

Wisconsin's drinking age The Shrike - 13/05/2015 01:09:53 PM 668 Views
Texas has similar laws random thoughts - 13/05/2015 01:44:29 PM 511 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 645 Views
It's the same in Louisiana. Ghavrel - 14/05/2015 08:23:20 AM 584 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 554 Views
They have still gutted the 10th amendment random thoughts - 13/05/2015 01:47:53 PM 540 Views
I agree they've gutted it. I'm not sure how I feel about it. Ghavrel - 14/05/2015 07:37:22 AM 549 Views
