Yes! Yes, we're finally in the news for something good, not something our social cancer of a former governor did!
I'm in Wisconsin, and man do I wish we would be in the news for anything other than something our social cancer of a former governor did. :(
Last week I was watching some comedians on a cable show. Trying to avoid late night comedians because we're always the butt of jokes over there. In any case, it's on in the background and I'm sort of paying attention enough to follow. All of a sudden I hear, "Wisconsin!" Followed by the comedy club's audience laughing.
And I'm thinking to myself, "Man? Did a b-list comedian just tell a joke that featured 'Wisconsin' as not only the butt of the joke, but the punchline too?"
A new low.
Oh well, like my neighbor said this weekend, "There's always Florida!" So at least we're not at the bottom.
>"The bill does not allow ranked-choice voting to be used for general and special elections for the offices of Governor, State Senator, or State Representative unless there is an amendment to the Constitution of Maine, Article IV, Part First, Section 5, Article IV, Part Second, Sections 4 and 5 and Article V, Part First, Section 3 that authorizes the Legislature, by proper enactment, to determine the method by which the Governor and members of the State Senate and House of Representatives are elected is ratified."[0]
It's like we've got a bunch of TODOs spread all over our legislation.
