Boogers 0 #1 November 7, 2013 So, I heard of a few unusual things happening on election day. Detroit has their first white mayor in something like 30 years. Virginia governor went democrat, first in a long while. Texans voted to raze the Astrodome. Coloradan's continue to tell their politicians to shove it by voting down a $1b tax increase. What other exciting things happened around the country, or in your neighborhood? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Southern_Man 0 #7 November 7, 2013 Boogers Virginia governor went democrat, first in a long while. Yes Virginia elected a democrat but the idea that this is the first time in a long time is completely false. The current governor is Republican. The two before that were both democrats. Virginia governors serve a single 4 year term."What if there were no hypothetical questions?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What's the point of allowing chickens if you can't have a rooster to perpetuate more chickens? And why require a $25 fee just to be allowed to have chickens? That defeats the purpose of raising your own cheap food. This is a horrible abuse of power and overreach of authority by the big government of Broomfield!

Well, actually the mayor there doesn't have much power any more, since the Feds are running the show now due to the bankruptcy caused by the previous black mayor, now in prison for corruption.
