There is more than one reason to be wary today. It’s Super Tuesday II and, yes, it is the Ides of March - the day Julius Caesar was assassinated by a coalition of his friends and family.
Butt that’s not the only significant political take-down that took place on March 15; in 1917 Czar Nicholas II was forced to abdicate his throne thus ending the 304-year-old Romanov dynasty that ushered in Bolshevik rule. He and his family are taken captive and later executed before a firing squad.
So a little heads up for politicians and proletariats alike: when the people finally get fed up enough they take matters into their own hands. And that doesn’t always work out so well either so let’s be careful out there.
The Democrats have their own kind of quandary; they have to choose between an old socialist and an even older socialist. The Republican options are less clear. Removing one Caesar won’t necessarily solve Rome’s problem:
And we all know how badly the Bolshevik Revolution turned out:
So if you’re voting today please beware the Ides of March. And choose wisely, weed-hopper,
Because elections have consequences.
Now get out there and seize the day as it is the only March 15, 2016 you’ll ever have.

True, although don’t forget that the MARCH revolution in Russia was the “democratic” revolution that brought in Kerensky. It wasn’t til the Red October that Lenin and his creeps took over. But, yah, Nick was booted in March.
If you gave Lennin a shave some glasses and a few years in that photo he would look just like comrade Bernie.
I feel like the American people are being stabbed by the politicians.
I propose making March 15th a national holiday; Tar and Feather Day. Grab the lousiest congresscritter of the previous year and tar and feather its ass on the Washington Mall. The state from which the pos came from can vote on a replacement. Pretty soon, I would imagine the will of the people would be evident in DC.
