From the Salmon

I normally take some pride in doing my civic duty and voting.

But I just don’t want to do it today.

I guess I’ll swing by the polling place on my walk home. In general, my default vote on ballot initiatives is NO unless I’ve researched an initiative well and I’m convinced that it is definitely a good idea.

Tonight, I think the NOs are going to run the table. Frustratingly enough, there’s nothing on the ballot that couldn’t have waited until the primaries in the spring. In fact, I think the only reason I’m voting at all is because a few of the initiatives are just downright bad.

What a stupid way to run a state.

Bleh.

On a positive note, this means that we’ll no longer be getting several calls a day from Senator McCain and the San Diego Gynecologists.

Those are separate phonecalls, of course.

Or one bitchin’ band name.

UPDATE: Well, well, well. Every ballot measure failed. And all it cost us was $50,000,000. And over $200,000,000 in advertising.

Did I mention this is a stupid way to run a state? Well it is.
