Politics, shmolotics
Today is Super Tuesday. It’s very likely that after today we’ll know who the parties’ candidates will be or at least have a pretty good idea of what the ballots will look like.
Via Franklin at the Panopticon, Dolores has announced her own candidacy and platform—which, as you might expect, is very knitting-oriented.
I have nothing against pro-yarn proposals, but I do expect a bit more depth from any politicians I choose to endorse. So I was pleased to see, at the Park Bench, a political platform I like. To paraphrase William Shatner, “I can get behind that!”*
My favorite points are “Mary McDonnell will be named Secretary of Education…just in case” (BSG, anyone?) and “We all will be issued jet packs and robots.”
I mean, really—who couldn’t use a jet pack and a robot? I’m convinced that if everyone had them, the world would be a much better place.

Hear, Hear! Mary McDonnell for Secretary of Education! And robots too! Now I have a write-in candidate to back…
Hi Marsha! I got impatient and decided to pick a winner for my mini-contest and the random number gen picked you. Email me your address so I can send your prize to you :-)
Frank: And don’t you agree that Shatner should get an Oscar, too?
