• Deborah Gatrell: It’s time to vote. Read the entire ballot.

  16-10-2020 22:19
  
  Your ballot will be missing something this year.Ballots will not have a straight-ticket voting option, but this is good. Straight-ticket voting was like intentionally short-sheeting a bed. Straight-ticket voters often skipped the rest of the ballot and missed out on nonpartisan state school board elections, judicial retention elections, important initiatives and constitutional amendments.On the flip side, two years ago, when Propositions 2, 3, and 4 were on the ballot, many voters went straight

  “Are there any Muslims in this hospital?”This was a question my father posed to my mother and myself as we sat by his bedside in the last few weeks of his life.“I’m sure there are, Dad,” I answered.It was an odd question, and I wondered if perhaps it was the product of confusion from the stroke that he had suffered just days earlier. But Dad was anything but confused.“I want to go up to every one of them,” he said, “and apologize on behalf of the R

  Do you like election year promises?

Small wonder that we keep electing idiots for presidents.The argument was over which candidate’s behavior was the more boorish and uncivilized as the clock winds down to Election Day. Toward the end, cursing and threats of violence spouted.Here’s the weird part. The three of us have been friends for half a century. We’re almost brothers.I’ve witnessed
