Day of the Timekeeper, 2nd of Hagwinter, 526 M.E. (Aldebaran): Walking home from the hospital, I passed a house with yards signs in their front lawn for Republican gubernatorial candidate Rick Jackson, MAGA Senate candidate Mike Collins, and the right-wing Greg Dolezal for Lieutenant Governor.

It sickened me. I wanted to pull them up and throw them out somewhere, but I didn't. It did hearten me that the one house was the only one I saw on the entire 0.8 miles between the hospital and my home with Republican yard signs. Most houses had no yard signs, and a few had signs for Democratic candidates. 

As I noted in a previous post, last week I voted early at the High Museum of Art, an extraordinarily pleasant polling location with ample parking and short lines. While it can't compete with the High, I am disappointed that my former polling location, a City of Atlanta tennis facility within easy walking distance of my home, has been closed. While the tennis center is well short of a half-mile from my front door (easy walking distance), the new early-voting location, a public library with extremely limited parking is over three miles away and on a road without sidewalks. My official polling location is now a middle school 1.6 miles away.

Serves me right for living in a blue precinct.

The political attack ads on television are getting nastier and uglier in the last days before the election. They're airing things now they wouldn't have dared released even a week ago, knowing that by the time the blowback occurs, the race will already be over. There's no accountability in the final 48 hours, just blatant race-baiting and fear-mongering. And social media is just going over-the-top bonkers.

Meanwhile, the Stable Genius is already asking the Courts to intervene in state elections before the final votes are even cast. We can count on a repeat of his 2020 shenanigans between the election and the final certification of votes up to and possibly including another January 6th-style mob insurrection.

I hate these fascist times and authoritarian state in which we're living. We need more than a Blue Wave or even a Blue Flood to solve things. I'm looking forward to a Blue Enema to get these Nazis sons of bitches out of my ass for once and for all.
