My apologies; I do tend to over-react to oppressive, restrictive, reactionary "liberals" who run the various gov't bureaucracies (a.k.a. boutiques) that exist for the "closure" that said "liberals" need.
Los Alamos is maneuvering to keep the gov't spigot open --- that means that the controlling university authorities are playing politics --- yes, they voted for Bush, for job security; but around the area, the aforementioned "liberal" enforcers rule their politially-correct states of (like-minded) being ... while that is admittedly my impression, given that I have not seen anything to contrast with the general, thoughtless, careless, and coldly-insensitive-to-truth passion for Clintonism and fascist homosexual absolutism that is rampant uber all else, despite the facts of life and the facts, scientific, that would lead them away from their rigid self-containment.
Getting desperate to make good on his promise to deliver New Mexico for Kerry, Gov. Richardson today kicked off his "every vote must count" drive by asking the Bernarillo election board to include "Stone ballots" for Kerry which he says are located at the Petroglyph National Monument in Albuquerque. He says he has enlisted the services of a powerful shaman to ascertain the vote preferences of some of New Mexico's oldest residents. County election officials, complaining that they have no record of registration, nonetheless have been instructed by the Democratic Central Committee of Bernarillo County that in the true spirit of political correctness, that is is offensive to deny the right to vote based on corporeal existence, except in the case of a Christian, when not only is it permitted to deny he franchise, but it is mandatory. This policy, it is hoped, will deny Republicans from using this procedure involving dead spouses or parents.
