I think I might pronounce that cacastocracy. Government by caca.
I would also deny the vote to all civil servants....
They should not have the right to vote for the persons who will hire them, set their salaries and determine their benefits and pensions....
The ONLY exception to this rule, would be the military..
They would retain their right to vote. (Yes, I’m biased)
Huey Long redux????
As many as he needs.
I’m with you.
see post #60
Under a Democrat government all military personel,considered too stupid to breath,must pass a poll test before they can vote.
A marine goes to vote:
Poll staffer,”First you must prove you can read,dumnass!”then he hands the jarhead a German newspaper,”Can you read that?”
Marine,”Hell no!”
“No vote for you grunt!”
Two year later after learning to read German,the marine tries to vote again:
Poll staffer,”Well,war-pig baby-killer,did you learn to read?”
Marine,”Yes suh!”
“OK,read this!” he hands the marine a Chinese newspaper.The marine looks at it and scratches his head.
Poll staffer,”Well,can you read it? What’s it say?”
Marine,”Sure I can—it says that this marine don’t get to vote again.”
Illinois shares a 120 mile common border with Kentucky.
Arkansas does NOT share any common border with Kentucky.
Arkansas’ closest point to Kentucky is 36 miles.
Arkansas is separated from Kentucky by State of Missouri.
BTTT!

Being glib and likeable is easier than being brilliant.
Obama never seems to have mastered one critical aspect of life: work.
Clinton was notably lazy, too. And we all know where that got us.
Er...might I suggest you examine your maps more closely?
Illinois is adjacent to Kentucky, just across the Ohio River.
Arkansas is removed from Kentucky. You would have to cross either Tennessee or Missouri to get from Kentucky to Arkansas.
The sentence is an incorrect way to phrase what is intended.
Beg to differ. The sentence says exactly what it means.
For it to mean as you suggest, the proper construction would have been: On what map is Arkansas closer to Kentucky than (TO) Illinois?
As is, it might be read: On what map is Arkansas closer to Kentucky than Illinois (IS)?
The extra "to" is necessary to produce the meaning your suggesting. The extra "is" is optional to clarify the writer's meaning -- but is grammatically bad form.
His biggest gaffe is thinking he can run this country. He’s got some ego.
