The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Saw a comment by Adam Kinzinger about the U.S. Senate race in Alaska, and it got me thinking.

If the Republicans had found a second Mary Peltola in Alaska, they would have put her on the ballot so fast it would make your head spin. If Democrats had complained, they would have said, "Suck it, libs," and laughed their asses off.

Now, though, to hear Trump and Blanche and all their little storm troopers at Fox tell it, having a second Dan Sullivan on the ballot (having received enough voted to be there, remember) is a full-fledged overthrow of our precious democracy. You know, like Benedict Donald is working on in Brazil. And crocodile tears of rage are flowing, because it's not that much fun being outplayed, and Tuesday may not be the GOP's finest hour nationwide. Shaky, things are looking for the team in gray.

So in the spirit of bare-knuckle politics, and free but fair elections, please allow me and my fellow Alaskans to respond:

"Cry me a Yukon River."
