A Republican state Senate candidate in Iowa has decided to bow out of the race and become a U.S. senator of an alternative form of government.
In a letter released Friday, Randi Shannon informs supporters of her new position as “U.S. Senator in the Republic of the United States of America.”

State Leg Tid Bits
So, I have wanted to start a blog about random tid bits about State Legislatures. Probably once every other week, I come across one of these valuable pieces of knowledge. I ultimately want to start a blog devoted to these, but until I have enough tid-bits in reserve so I can do frequent updates to the future blog, I will just post them here.
Today’s tid bit: In South Carolina, a judge ruled today that there needs to be an runoff primary election between Preston Brittain and Gloria Tinubu for the Democratic nomination in South Carolina’s new 7th Congressional District. This may not seem that interesting, but Gloria Tinubu once was a state legislator: in Georgia.

Ladders through windows over the 17th
So, last week, my former Congressman addressed my favorite Amendment.
I did not know that the ratification of the 17th Amendment included hurling ink wells in the Missouri Senate or throwing a ladder through a window (skip to 45 seconds in). He’s right.
My former Congressman is the only one to oppose the Amendment

Pictures of the Weekend
As I sit writing a dissertation chapter, three pictures to share.
First, the best parrallel parking job I had ever seen was by my friend Brian in high school. Matt, however, may have topped him.
Second, Alex helping with breakfast.
He’s just a treasure,

When you never delete anything…
So I just watched Mad Men and about to go to bed, and instead of surfing the internet. I surfed my hard drive rediscovering things from high school..Old essays, personal statements, and lab reports.
For example, what did I discover in the AP Chem folder….A file called: R data (for those that don’t know, I use a software program called R) So I had to see what was in the R lab report. It’s title:
RRRrrrrrrrrr you ready for some calculations me matey?
Yup. Steve had the wit back in 2001. I forgot Mr. Becker gave bonus points for titles. Other gems:
Crucible – The Pottery on the Hot Seat
C u later Oxygenator
Watch those Calorimeters during the Holiday Season!
No wonder all the Ferros dropped off the face of the earth, Egypt is HOT
Also in this folder, campaign materials from my bid for Student Council President….
Mr. Rogers lost. Hard to win a presidential election when you have close ties to a monarch like King Friday.
And who could forget about Senior Pictures…
There is another senior picture that was quite popular…but to prevent fantasy football rivals from having fodder, thats not going online.
If you are like me and never delete things from your hard drive, I highly recommend digging around. It is a trip.

The Internet Tops Nashville
For the last two years, there has been a woman with a GMail address very similar to mine who struggles greatly at writing it down correctly. Because of this, I have received everything from Happy Birthday messages to a newsletter for a senior citizen community in Florida. For a while, I was receiving emails regarding quotes/estimates for how much it was to ship a car from Balitmore to Denver.
So I today received an email:
Thank you for ordering Cabela’s Inc. – 0021094281
6 (>CBGL5141 87<) Inside, it said:
Thank you for your recent order. We appreciate your shopping at Cabelas.com and hope that you had an enjoyable shopping experience. You will receive another e-mail at the time your order ships.
I had never heard of Cabelas.com…so what did “I” buy? Click and find out.

In the last 24 hours…
Two Nashville sightings…
- Go to the library. There is a pickup truck on display in the lobby.
- Go to National Tire and Battery for an oil change. Another customer demands to keep his old tires, as they work well to help burn his brush.
