Get your ballot postmarked by tomorrow. Or dropped off by 8:00. Otherwise a fine but maybe not as good person will become mayor.

HA Bible Study: Genesis 19:30-36

Genesis 19:30-36
Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to lie with us, as is the custom all over the earth. Let’s get our father to drink wine and then lie with him and preserve our family line through our father.”

That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and lay with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up.

The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I lay with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and lie with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went and lay with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up.

So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father.

Discuss.

Ugh. Just, do fucking better, male legislators and lobbyists. I don’t know who the Democratic legislator mentioned is, but he should resign. Lobby shops have a chance to clean house; They shouldn’t waste it.

I don’t know how much joy I should take from the Paul Manafort indictment. On the one hand, fuck that guy. He must have known what he was doing was wrong. I really don’t have any sympathy. On the other hand, it can’t end here.

I don’t know if it will. But just Manafort and his business associate is hardly enough for the crimes that have been committed.

In a previous post, I noted that men should have some idea that something is up with sexual harassment at work. I got some pushback on that. Now I’m reading about George H. W. Bush groping multiple women while making a joke about it. How many Secret Service agents heard his David-cop-a-feel joke and said nothing? How many other people were at those photo ops and didn’t say anything? The women’s colleagues, Bush’s people, photographers, other people in the area.

He said it out loud, in public, multiple time. People knew.

I got my ballot. I filled out all the easy stuff first. Mayor. City Council. The pointless tax advisory measures. But I can’t care about Port or School Board; I know they’re important, but they seem to be perpetually almost where they might be good, but never seem to get there.

And then there are the positions I don’t think should be elected. The possible rapist versus the racist for Sheriff. Judges who I’ll just support whoever NARAL endorses even though I don’t think that judges should be single issue people.

Sorry I forgot to put an Open Thread up this morning. I’m trying to finish a library book that I’m not really digging. But if I don’t finish it soon, I’m going to have to either return it or incur late fees. And there are other people who have it on hold, so I don’t want to keep them waiting. But don’t want to return it until either finish it or have something else ready.

Mark 11:20
The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard him say it.
