US election of Nov 8, 2011
So, the news media is filled with election results.
Some are national, some state, and some very local Here's a nutty situation in my local area that tackles a common civic problem. It is sort of like (#1125) BigV mentioned in Washington. Quote:

And HALLELUJAH Mississippi.
And wtg Ohio, for seeing through Kasich's thinly veiled "evil union" crusade. He shouldn't have messed with public employees. Now I won't have to see the stomach-turning ads about how the public employees ruin the economy. Ch'yeah. Ass. |

Yeah, a pretty good day overall. Dare I say, a 'referendum' on far right politics and especially the tea party?

The "life begins at fertilization" measure failed.

Maybe this belongs in the "Blue Laws" thread,
but it's Washington state's measure on the sale of liquor. Seattle Times Nov 9, 2011 Voters kick state out of liquor business Quote:
to sell it's own brand of booze. BigV may have more to say or a different opinion. . |

Wow. Looks like many people are discovering that Limbaugh et al are dumb! And promoters of hate.
