In my humble opinion, folks, this is a great speech.
The President and the Press: Address before the American Newspaper Publishers Association, April 27, 1961
Good morning everyone.
Well, it's election day today. I actually voted last Friday and took it to the post office.
Had about a dozen local initiatives and a couple of amendments to pour over. And a half dozen judicial races that had only one candidate. Can't see a reason to check the box when there is only one box.

One way you can tell this isn't a democracy is that 80+ percent of citizens do NOT want the time to change twice a year, but the merchants who own the politicians insist it remains. Today is All Saints Day, tomorrow is the Day of the Dead, followed by Election Day...sounds auspicious doesn't it? I wonder which political puppet zombies will terrorize us for the next couple of years. Last Sunday's elections in Brazil, Serbia, and Israel were interesting. Lula managed to survive, and Bolsonaro bolted with the help of his CIA patrons. Lula faces a divisive government. Student List won an outright majority in Serbia. Evidently lots of NGOs (think US AID and EU stink tanks) supported their cause. Let's hope they don't succumb to outside interest. Israel's election is still in limbo with the Nitwityahoo in the lead. Who knows what the US election will bring. Talk is a demoncratic sweep, but we'll see.
