I will willingly admit that, but this is the sort of thing that happens when you&#8217;re staffed by complete amateurs.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The folks in Alabamastan are reaching out hard to Rep. Amash to get him not to peel off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I still have reservations about him, but he&#8217;d be better than anyone the edgelord kids have been floating.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I live in a state without a chapter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why?  Because paying attention to procedure is difficult, so we&#8217;re going to just do whatever we want;  go fuck yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But we&#8217;re not going to start from scratch.  We&#8217;re just going to use what do what we want with what other people put together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*resigned shrug*<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I used to find myself most closely-aligned with the Libertarian Party.  I can&#8217;t say that at this moment.  Am I aligned with the Republicans or Democrats?  No.  But I think it&#8217;s possible that either of those parties will deliver the least bad candidate going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever.  I live in Virginia, which has largely returned to being Blue just the way the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Byrd_Machine\" target=\"_blank\">Byrd Organization<\/a> intended.  I&#8217;ll vote in the Democratic primaries against the worst ones out there.  It wasn&#8217;t hard for me to vote against Elizabeth Warren in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what else is up on this weird Hurricane Ian-remains weekend?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Now that&#8217; it&#8217;s October, I probably should figure out what I&#8217;m writing about next month.  If anyone has any suggestions, I&#8217;m open, hoping to have the list close to finalized by about 10\/28.  I am looking forward to writing, now.  Might be a bit of an odd month, because I&#8217;m locked in to be out of town for a substantial trip.  We&#8217;ll see how that goes.  Even though I&#8217;m thinking it&#8217;s pretty useless, I think I&#8217;m going to spend a significant amount of time when I&#8217;m down there working to pay my protection racket.<\/li><li>i need to go do some stuff around the house.  Writing, listening to podcasts, etc. is a kind of lame way to avoid addressing things.  Get things done.  But that can wait a few minutes.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>So.
