Middle and late-middle-age in the United States of America is really not turning out as expected. Glad to be healthy, but this is weird.

Cracked is not so cracked.

And the other winner in this elections is weed:

Keep an eye on marijuana-infused butter on Whole Foods.

I wonder which editor at Cracked decided to do virtue signalling in the title:

How Half Of America Lost Its F**king Mind

S/h/it is about 30 minutes away from declaring them "deplorables" and that they should be denied the vote.

Meanwhile, this is something I can get behind:

Go, California, go in peace. That way, when your pension debt devours your budget, you can simply print more Cali's to pay for it. And the rest of us get to avoid having to bail you out.

Win-win.

Also, if I have a schadenboner lasting more than 4 hours, should I seek medical help?

The NY Post asks:

Sometimes, the right answer is I do desire we may be better strangers.

I ask health related questions, Instapundit provides answers:

REMEMBER IF YOUR SCHADENFREUDE LASTS FOR MORE THAN 4 HOURS, CALL ALL YOUR LIBERAL FRIENDS AND BRAG ABOUT IT

Sadly, I live in a bright blue dot. They'd probably beat my ass. Because they're the tolerant ones.

Speaking of limited government, I wonder if the plaintiffs' lawyer(s) will be disciplined by the bar?

"To find, as the plaintiffs argue, that all property owners in Sussex County have standing to enforce the building code would, I fear, result in inefficient and pernicious litigation," Judge Glasscock said in his ruling. He also called the lawsuit "officious intermeddling" and a nuisance.

Oh, Canada. I'm sorry. I really am. Maybe you should build a wall or something?

What I'm going to most enjoy is watching the long lines of people exiting the US to live somewhere else, just like they promised if Trumpers got elected.

Here's a list. I didn't realize that the Notorious RBG was on it. Wonder if that means she's quiting the Supremes?

He couldn't have said it better:

All that money not being used to identify and obtain State Ids for the few that do not have one.

What could be the reason that no one wants to solve this issue? I know my Mother's non-driving Id came in real handy.

"The LWV is currently in federal court trying to stop efforts by Kansas, Georgia, and Alabama to verify that only citizens are registering to vote."

"... a lawsuit by the Public Interest Legal Foundation to clean voter rolls in a Virginia jurisdiction with more registered voters than eligible citizens."

"Soros money fought voter ID, everywhere."

First paragraphs:

Voters in California, Massachusetts and Nevada approved recreational marijuana initiatives Tuesday night, and several other states passed medical marijuana provisions, in what is turning out to be the biggest electoral victory for marijuana reform since 2012, when Colorado and Washington first approved the drug's recreational use.

In addition to the states above, local outlets in Maine are declaring victory for that state's legalization measure, but with 91 percent of precincts reporting just a few thousand votes separate the "Yes" and "No" columns.

A similar legalization measure in Arizona did not gain sufficient support to pass, with 52 percent of voters rejecting it.

On the medical side, voters in Florida, North Dakota and Arkansas have approved medical marijuana initiatives. Voters in in Montana also rolled back restrictions on an existing medical pot law...
