    I am not naive, and when forced, make a selection along those lines. I was surprised to see the three languages represented in early voting as English, Spanish and Tagalog. I have many Filipino friends but didn't realize there was a high demand for voters of this language. So I voted for Libertarians, GOP and non-partisans. I did not vote for Greens, Dems or others.

    Vote No on Question 1 and Yes on Question 2 btw.
    Clark Co. election law requires ballots to be printed in the three languages with the highest number of speakers on the county. Obviously there are a lot of Filipinos, but those numbers probably pale in comparison to the Latinos here.

      Don't put it past a democrat president to bomb someone with a drone.

        Bomb the Ecuadorian Embassy in London? I would say that is significantly out of reach, even for a Democratic President.

            I can't get a firm fix on the numbers but apparently there may be as many as 100,000 in Clark County. The Asian population is increasing significantly.
            Over the past 15 years, Nevada’s Asian population has more than doubled in size — no other state has experienced a more significant surge. That growth will balloon in coming years, bringing big demographic and economic changes for Asian-heavy cities like Las Vegas, U.S. Census Bureau analyst Jerry Wong told ...
            "Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."

            Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

                I wasn't aware of the Chinese embassy bombing, but it seems like a distinguishable situation.

                1. It as NATO
                2. Not a drone
                3. In an active war zone
                4. Accidental - apparently trying to bomb a military weapons storage warehouse nearby

                  So President Hillary just has to declare war on the UK and accidentally bomb the Ecuadorian Embassy wearing those dumb light blue colored hats... Seems possible to me.

                        Not directly related to the presidential election, but there's a moment in the Illinois senate race debate where you watch man's career disintegrate right before your eyes.

                        And I'm not talking about only Kirk's career as a Senator, his career in any political capacity.
                        Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                          Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

                              Just a point of clarification. Rich is a word with a different meaning to different people.

                              While I am rich in spirit, I do not classify myself as rich materially. Therefor I do not feel like am I hated by democrats. When they talk in degrading terms about the rich, I don't think they are talking about me.

                                Good thing it wasn't KL or she'd have to buy rent four new tires. Maybe they can sue for $600 instead of $150.

                                That tweet is so weird. It's a bunch of black women that support trump and the people that got caught driving over their signs seem to be baby boomer aged white people. What a weird election cycle.
