Slowed down and rode alongside, trying to see what a genuine Katherine Harris supporter looks like. She was driving a new, foreign minivan. She was a slim 54 or so but she didn’t look like she’d had, or was currently having, much fun in her life. Straight blond bowl cut, no makeup, Sally Jesse Raphael glasses. Looked like a nurse or maybe a nun out of uniform because her top resembled a hospital scrub. Older man was in the passenger seat, but beyond the fact that he was bald and white, I couldn’t really see him.

I need to find a Bill Nelson bumpersticker to paste on my PT Cruiser. Too bad I traded the Volvo…

Poetic Justice

Verbatim

“One woman at a rally in New Jersey told me last week that she was ‘nauseously optimistic.’ That may capture a lot of people’s last-minute jitters.”

— Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), quoted by Axios, on what Democrats feel ahead of the midterm elections.

“I think Congress made a mistake not protesting turning the Rose Garden into what looks like the entrance to Liberace’s bathroom.”

— Former President Bill Clinton, quoted by The Wrap.

“Boy, they are scraping the bottom of the barrel. It feels like a real desperation play to me, because it has got zero basis in the law.”

— Republican election law expert Ben Ginsberg, quoted by Politico, on the Trump administration’s effort to invalidate Alaska’s election results.
