My Georgia vote-by-mail ballot arrived by mail this afternoon. I’ve already completed it and dropped it off at the Post Office. Next step is to watch my voter account page to wait for notice that it has been received and accepted.
For all the voter suppression that has in fact gone on in this state, the current voting process is itself wonderfully simple.
Worked fine this November, much to the insane anger of Donald the Barbarian.
And now for something apolitical. Back in the late ‘30s the Crosley owned AM radio station, WLW, got permission from the government to operate its 700 kc radio (alright, 700 kHz) transmitter at a power level of 500kW. The field strength of the radiated signal was so strong that there were reports of people “receiving” WLW programming via the dental fillings in their mouths. I don’t know if these reports were verified, but it seems possible that dental work could function as a diode detector and demodulate a radio frequency energy so that one could sense the audio components. Similar reports are recorded for sounds emitted from wire fencing. There is — or was, at least — a nice video tour of the remains of this massive transmitter which was recorded several years ago. Perhaps it’s still available on UTOOBE or elsewhere; if so, it’s worth viewing. Certainly there is more information about this one-off operation at the WLW website or Wiki. The American Radio History website is also a good source of information, although I don’t know how efficient its search function is.
I can see why Elvis is there, but why JFK Jr? Did he just come from Rory Kennedy’s wedding? Did he show up as an adult at the grassy knoll in Dallas in 1963? Back then, we even thought that Venus had been habitable.
It’s getting crowded in there, what with JFK jr and Hugo Chavez hiding out with Emilia Earhart and Elvis and Princess Diana and Bruce Lee and a soccer club or two. . . .
I want credit for coining the term “Godawful Obsolete Party”, which I tossed into a comment yesterday because I was, you know, kinda bored……..But really, WHAT the hell is in the drinking water in Georgia that they ended up with senators and a governor like THAT? Hopefully, in the run-offs, sane minds will prevail—wouldn’t bet on it, but I’m hoping for it.
My Republikan Brothers…it is hopeless to believe, that your vote will be counted. The only option you have, is to stay away from any polls. That’ll show those pinko snowflakes!

They do seem to be a few right wing-nuts over the line.

When will the GOP finally disappear up the black hole of its own bonkers conspiracy theories?

So much truthiness is hard to take all at once.
