My first post! This is super fun!
I see no reason why my first post shouldn't be mocking the Great State of Arizona. Partly because Raising Arizona is the worst movie ever (and no, Bring It On is one of the best cinematic achievements of our time), and partly because my friend from New Orleans pulls my strings like a puppetmaster jonesing for a nicc fix.
At any rate, it seems that our fine friends in Arizona, whose flag includes imagery of a quartz mill, are proposing a lottery. But this is a special lottery. YOU ENTER BY VOTING. Then you win a million dollars.
The odds are pretty good, too. The guy spearheading the campaign is a former democratic gubernatorial candidate, Mr. Mark Osterloh, who apparently feels Arizona needs nothing so much as a dramatic increase in the number of voters who think the government owes them something. These fine citizens will be enjoying 1 in 2 billion odds, which is better than your odds at getting laid after a night at McFadden's.
I can't decide if my favorite part is where the article notes 60% of the eligible population is registered to vote, including people who are technically ineligible to vote, like illegal immigrants and felons. Or the part where they're voting on the proposal to get money for voting. I like them both.
(Hopefully that stayed within Baylen's stringent Rules & Guidelines For Better Posting. "There's a general prohibition on calling for any increase in the size of government or taxes, for example, but that's about it." Enjoy my next post, which will be entirely devoted to Tom Selleck.)
