Of the three kids, the one with the crayon up her nose has the best chance of normalcy.
Uh, the safety pin in the nose made me cringe! Imagine something getting caught in it? Women have had their earlobes spliced due to hoop earring accidents.
This place sucks, big time!
The most popular bumper sticker in 1973 Colorado was
DON’T CALIFORNICATE COLORADO!
Well, it has been, as has Oregon, Washington, and now New Mexico.
They foul their own nest, then move to a new one and do the same and the locals suffer.
As we found out in the last election, flipping the blue wall back east is easier than flipping the left coast.
The best hope now is to get some sort of voter identification process going.
Even that would not help the left coast, they are too happy with the status quo. They love their Kool-Ade. They think government is the answer.
As usual, it comes down to the economy first, security second, everything else third.
The left coast and Colorado have been doing well, are not manufacturing / energy economy dependent. They will stay blue.
Minnesota, is coming close to a flip; primarily because of the addition of Muslim immigrants who refuse to assimilate; tipping independents to go Republican.
