Mass threat

I don’t really know enough to know how the Ohio corruption mess will play out in the mid terms.

There is often noise about its effect on Republicans, but voters being voters, who knows.

As for stand up comedy, it has it all:

A broker accused of bribing a former Ohio state workers' compensation official testified Wednesday that he was not trying to intimidate the official by sending him a card notifying him that a Roman Catholic Mass would be said on his behalf.

I’m sure the judge was fascinated by the card and the explanation, but it sure sounds like a threat to me. Perhaps it will become a Republican campaign slogan.

I'm not at all sure voters are voters in Ohio. Last I heard, they were black boxes, and when the exit polls didn't match the results, the exit polls were revised.

A few months later the Republicans, ironically, were up in arms about some Eastern European country where the exit polls didn't match the results.

Ain't democracy a grand and wonderful institution.
Given time you will all have me enlightened on the wonders of it all.
