On flaming wreckage and other Stokes County topics

Do you endorse anyone in that race???

You're kidding, right?

That race is the poster child for the case that there isn't a dime's worth of difference between the parties. All six of the candidates are confirmed Marxists, and, ironically enough, the Republicans moreso than the Democrats.

The only one who is actually dangerous is Ron Carroll. He's enough of a megalomaniac that he probably has visions of Boss Tweed dancing in his head, or maybe just visions of Boss Robertson. When I say dangerous, though, I mean dangerous in the way it would be for Grandma to eat a huge burrito right before heading over to her afternoon bridge game.

I'll probably bring a sheet of paper with me to cover that part of my ballot so that there is no chance of an accidental mark appearing anywhere near that race.
