From Denver:
Enough signatures, you can get any damn thing on the ballot, apparently.
The “cultural awareness” is going to be the tough part I think.
I hope you vote yes. It doesn’t look like it will cost the city any more money than it takes to create some space on its website, and the amusement value is potentially out of this world.
And, no, there is nothing that strange on the ballot in Missouri this year.
Heck, I’d vote for that.
“This here’s called ‘Pork Cracklins’”.
Earth was obliterated moments later.

dude, I actually snorted out loud and had to look away from the screen to stop laughing
There’s a proposal on Rhode Island’s ballot to change the name of the state from “the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations” to “The State of Rhode Island”. Given that most of the people of Rhode Island actually live in the Providence Plantations part and not the Rhode Island part, it seems vaguely ungrateful.
Oklahoma, that bastion of Muslim activity, has a state question that would outlaw consideration of Sharia law by Oklahoma courts. I’m fairly confident that it will pass.
Sure, they might be prudent in Oklahoma, but take any U.S. city with a large underground Muslim population, Des Moines, Iowa, for example. You can’t build anything in it, you can’t grow anything on it. Some say it’s due to poor farming, but I know what’s really going on, it’s the illegal aliens, they’re in it with the Muslims, they’re building Mexican Mosques, I SWEAR TO GOD!
Well, that’s good. That’ll get the ten commandments out of the public sphere.
I want to be an extraterrestrial affairs commissioner and head up the committee on, well, extraterrestrial affairs. 
I would sooner vote for that than some of the ballots in my state.
Before they get to try the scrapple?
The best we have in Arkansas is hunting being added as an enshrined right in the state constitution.
Oh, and I believe there are two counties voting on whether to no longer be “dry.”
I do hope you’ll be back to share the results after the polls close.
None of our ballot questions come anywhere close to being that interesting. We didn’t even have any I had to think very hard about. Should we fund community colleges? Yup. Should we unprotect the protected land in rural parts of the county? Nope.
It’s the “Plantations” part that has everyone riled up here.
For some reason they think it makes people believe we’re part of the deep south.
Here in Tennessee, I was asked to approve an amendment to the state constitution establishing the right to hunt and fish in the state (subject to reasonable restrictions.)
I voted “no, thanks.”
Hey! Have they been talking to Tennessee?
lol maybe thats where the money went from our parking meters…thats explains everything
i wouldnt vote for that
Can the Commitee be named after Kirk? The James T. Kirk Committee on Extraterrestrial Affairs would be fantastic.
