(Permanent Musical Accompaniment To This Post) Being our semi-regular weekly survey of what's goin' down in the several states where, as we know, the real work of governmentin' gets done and where we're gonna shake them all down like the early Roman kings. We begin in Ground Zero Ohio. I have to confess that the Cincinnati Bengals largely have been off my radar since, in my previous incarnation, I saw them get Joe Montana-ed in the 1989 Super Bowl.
But I rise today in tribute to the current crop of Bengals, who displayed rare good taste this week. Sports: Now, I am perfectly aware that football players are rather single-minded, especially during the playing season, and that it's possible the Bengals didn't recognize who Vance was. (Lucky Bengals!). But I prefer to believe that they snubbed him because he is America's most unlikable human, and because he was in Ohio stanning for Vivek Ramaswamy, America's second-most unlikable human.
They are a couple of practice-squad ratfckers. It is that time in the election cycle in which we look around the country for the strange and wonderful about representative democracy. For example, there is the election in California's 22nd state senate district.
From the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin: Rubio claimed she is no longer a target of the investigation but one never wants to be identified as a Number in federal court documents. Very bad look for an incumbent. Of course, then there's the Republican challenger and whoooo, doggies.
Neither am I, but it's fun to speculate. Thank you, Rafael Perez for adding "Radio Mode" to the Blog's lexicon. There are something like 6,000 state legislature seats up for grabs in a couple of weeks.
Meanwhile, Chaz Nuttycombe—Real name? Who the fck knows?—of State Navigate introduces us to incumbent Jeff Shipley, the former sauerkraut salesman who is the Republican incumbent representing House District 87 in Iowa. [Ed. Note: I would have to ingest beaucoup psilocybin to read Solzhenitsyn again] It will probably shock you to realize that Shipley is a big fan of ivermectin.
