About Me

Hello my fellow Politiores Troglodytes. This Blog is a collection of Posts, Poems, & Short Stories that I write on a daily basis. If you find it entertaining, informative, and controversial, then I have done my job properly. Thank goodness too, because Karma has been on my case of late. I'm supposed to bring fifty people into the fold or I'll have to give back the part of Einstein's brain I inherited. No, I'm not one of the Scientists who got a piece of his brain when he died. Karma said, "Eat this knowledge. It'll make you smarter!" The bargain I made with Karma was, if I could change fifty people into Politiores Populos, I would be rewarded with my very own Lamborghini. So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Like what you're reading, then read on. P.S. Populo is Latin for people. Politiores is Latin for educated. Troglodytes is English for troglodytes. And Einstein's brain was stolen by Thomas Stoltz Harvey after his death in 1955 and eventually divvied up into 240 pieces. If you just read that last sentence, then you have just learned something and I'm just that much closer to fulfilling my commitment to Karma!

Mailing My Ballot In Early

What's up
America?
Or,
in reality.
What's up
Millennials?
I keep hearing that you are;
Turned Off, Tuned Out, and May Not Vote!
By Clyde Hughes for NewsMax.com
"Millennials' interest in the election has dipped sharply since its peak in March and their lack of enthusiasm could mean many may not vote come Nov. 8, according to a USA Today/Rock the Vote Poll. That ordinarily would be bad news for Hillary Clinton, had Donald Trump not stumbled so badly recently, since millennials prefer Clinton over Trump by more than 3-1 and because their enthusiasm has tumbled since March when Sen. Bernie Sanders was fighting for the Democratic nomination, said USA Today. Millennials say jobs and the economy is the No. 1 issue followed by education and health care in the second tier and terrorism, civil rights, immigration and gun laws in the third tier, said the Ipsos-created poll. The Ipsos poll said millennials, ages 18 to 34, particularly millennial likely voters, mostly identify themselves as Democrats and Clinton has built her lead with the group, now up to a plus-49 percent advantage."

Let me tell you a little story about voting
and how every vote counts.
My
Grandfather,
when he was alive,
was a local
Politician
in the city of
Cudahy, Wisconsin.
The very first year he ran for public office,
his family was so sure that he was going to win,
that my
Mother,
when she was still being courted by my
Father,
when he was still courting my
Mother,
decided it was too much trouble for them to go out
and vote.
Back then,
the candidates would receive a phone call from the
telling them of the results.
My
Grandfather
got the call
and lost by
One Vote.
If my
Parents
had gone out
and voted,
my
Mother's Vote
would have been the tying vote,
and my
Father's Vote
would have been the winning vote.
Your vote
and every vote counts.
The happy ending to this story is,
my
Grandfather
ran again for
Public Office
two years later
and won.
He then held the position for
16 Years
in a row until he retired.
True story.

In California,
There Is So Much More To Vote For Than Just For
The President Of The United States.
Like Preposition 60,
Which Requires "Adult Male Film Performers" To Where A Condom At All Times During Filming.

This is,
Mailing My Ballot In Early,
Jim Hauenstein,

And,

 “Every election is determined by the people who show up.”
- Larry J. Sabato -


That is my story and I am sticking to it!
