Right. Getting one out of three apparently means more to republican hacks.

There goes your “mandate”. Heh.

al gore, brick, Hillary Clinton, popular vote

After the 2000 election the downtown Warrensburg business group held a promotion selling bricks with personal/commemorative “engraving” to be installed in the sidewalks for a beautification project. I plunked down the bucks and selected my text. Some right wingnut busybody complained about my brick. The original placement, near the front entrance of the then location of the regional library branch, was then changed to the east side of the county justice center. The brick has been there ever since.

Brick: Al Gore won in 2000 by 543,895 votes

Brick: Al Gore won in 2000 by 543,895 votes

As of this writing Hillary Clinton is up by over 200,000 votes in the popular vote. So much for a mandate, eh.

I’ve got to get another brick.

HB 1958: A matter of 543,895 votes?

A bill, pre-filed today by Representative Tony Dugger (r):

HB 1959

This wouldn’t be about dubya in 2000, would it? We can’t wait to check out the full bill text when it becomes available. The devil is in the details.
