A Pox on Both Their Houses

I downloaded the state wide ballot today (Georgia) to begin deciding what to do come the November election.

I learned that:

Both the Democrat and Republican candidates for School Superintendent are religious conservatives and would presumably bring that orientation to the education of everyone's kids.
The Libertarian candidate wants to end elections for the Superintendent and has no educational experience.

Someone got a constitutional amendment on the ballot to recognize "the tradition of fishing and hunting" as constitutionally protected.

Farmers got a proposed amendment to end taxation on farm equipment.

There's a proposed amendment to allow the Legislature to give money received from vanity license plates to be given to non-profit organizations where "there will be a benefit to the state."

In the news:

Sonny Perdue, the incumbent Governor went to Jerry Falwell's church yesterday in Virginia, presumably courting the absentee ballot vote.

Dennis Hastert and George Bush say "Foleygate" is a Democrat plot. The Democrats say you can't equate Foleygate to Clinton's escapades because Clinton went for women who had attained the age of consent.

No big finish here. Just a strong case of political ennui.
