Dear Zonies:
Here's some information I found because it applies to my case, and I thought you might be interested too. Here's a table of interesting dates, from the AZ-SOS site:
| Presidential Preference | March 17, 2020 | February 18, 2020 |
| Primary | August 4, 2020 | July 6, 2020 | General | November 3, 2020 | October 5, 2020 |
Please consider this as a PSA; I won’t even be able to participate in the comments thread until tomorrow. Please bring what you glean from it or b’s commentary on the report.)

“An analysis of the circumstances under which the incident took place unfortunately shows that nothing went wrong. The strategic and tactical decisions that were made were all rational and made sense. But unfortunately shit happens even when everything else works as it is supposed to work.
Just a few days after the month-long transportation/energy workers strike was joined by teachers, district nurses and lawyers (and the police were going to protest), President Emmanuel Macron’s government began to fold.
What a week, sitting on the brink of WWIII. It is insane to attempt to be THE World Superpower. Stability comes from balance of power, but instead we want to be the sole world power. Adding to the insanity is this quest to dominate oil production (and consumption)...the very substance driving the extinction of lifeforms and the devastation of the climate. The situation in Australia should make this obvious to everyone. Winter is here though our temperatures are mild this year (not that I'm complaining mind you). Then we have the kabuki theater of the presidential election. The polls are not believable, and I'm not sure our votes are either. None the less the primary election is upon us. What sort of damage would Trump (Israel, Saudi Arabia, Et al.) cause in another four years? Not a pleasant thought. All is not doom and gloom. There are good people and beautiful places all around the world.
Something/Someone Old
This is pretty awesome.
Here is either the oldest art or one of the oldest tools known to man:
Imagine trying to defeat a sitting president that is running on a platform of economic prosperity, and the opposition party can't/won't challenge that claim. That near insurmountable task is what the establishment Democratic candidates would have to overcome should one win the nomination.
A LOT of interesting polling stuff going on right now.
Today, in a Patinkin Research Strategies poll of New Hampshire (600 people, 21% on cell phones), Tulsi came in at 7% in 5th place. According to this poll, 7% of those polled are still undecided.

Calm, the dark of early morning pacifies, safely hidden from real glaring lights: murderers carrying crosses, thievery of all kinds proudly rolling in black limousines ... eating planets on the way; momentarily forgotten, sipping ease and joy in lives yet to be.
