Ezra Pound was a crazy anti-Semite.

Oh, and he was crazy.

UG is funny.

MY late FIL was a friend of Pound's. There is a lot of family lore about Pound and how crazy he was. Hadn't heard he was an anti-semite though. I'll have to ask my wife about that. Knowing my late FIL though, I'd be surprised if it were true.

Oh and I voted, despite the relative pointlessness of it.

We had like 16 races to vote in! Railroad Commissioner, Agricultural Commissioner, a whole slew of judges, all kinds of crazy shit.

True dat.

I voted despite the utter pointless of it. For 2 pages of positions the only choice was Rep, made me sick. Not even a write in option, I thought there was always supposed to be a write in option.

Oddly enough, I think at the state level you have to jump through some hoops to be an "officially allowed" write-in candidate. I was provided with a list of people I could write in, in the one or two races that allowed one.

Had a large array of offices to fill here. I voted for one democrat, and one republican. The rest were for people who were better choices.

I voted, too. We had quite a few things to vote on. Some amendment stuff to lower taxes on vehicles (wouldn't that be nice?) and some properties. A senator and congress vote, several other stuff and about 20 judges. I was in and out in about 5 minutes. No harassers at the door. Hurray for living near a small town. Oh, and now, I presume the schmear fest on the radio should be over now, so I guess I can start listening to music again.

Went around 2, had a nice chat with the sign-in ladies about A Christmas Story and Spaceballs, voted, out before I got blocked in by school busses ... which was a problem at the polling station. Instead of moving the bus loading area they blocked the entrance driveway to the polling area.

Only four races most talk was about bears, neighbor shot 500 pounds of black bear last season, beekeepers rejoiced.

Finally got the call I was waiting for - my kids voted as well.
Very proud of them.

The public sucks.

He's a funny man, but I have to disagree.

I hear bear meat is very good to eat. I am a hunter, but not sure that I would want to shoot one unless I was directly threatened by one. Same for moose. I would eat them if someone else harvested the meat.

We're quickly approaching an overpopulation problem with the bears here, so I say have at. Moose would be a different story. I don't hunt anymore though so it is pretty much theory for me.
