I’ve been kind of trying to follow the Coleman v Franken thing in Minnesota, as they keep arguing and battling and trying to out-maneuver one another. Does “democracy” come down to this? It seems like it so often does… one can be reminded of the 2000 Gore v Bush debacle, but I’m actually more reminded of the Calderon v AMLO mess in Mexico a few years back. The way that the losing side kept hanging on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on… In comparison, Gore’s “graceful” exit was full of class and probably better for the health of the system. Of course, whether it’s a system whose health is worth preserving is questionable, too.
Anyway, the Minnesota senate race makes me think of Mexico’s last Presidential election. Nuff said.
In other news, it’s spring around here. And Iris drew a funny picture of the Goldrush 1d class that I liked alot. Here are some snaps with my cellphone.
