      I walked into the polling place, showed my ID, signed the ledger sheet, got my voter code, went into the little voter cubicle, signed into the digital voter machine, made my selections, then punched the button that said "complete".

      Pretty simple, actually, even for an old fart.

          Did you know that according to the historian Suetonius, and possibly Cassius Dio as well, the Roman emperor Caligula made his favorite horse Incitatus, a Roman Senator and proposed making him a consul?

          The story is regarded by some to be fictitious political propaganda of the time and by others as a real story providing evidence of Caligula's madness (the intended meaning) or Caligula mocking and ridiculing his political adversaries (principally the Senate).

          I'm always still in trouble again

            Heard the story, wondered if it were really true.

                According to most accounts, Hillary has lied as much as an average official, while Trump has already bested her while spending a fraction of the time as a civil servant.

                  Not compared to Mr Ed the talking horse.

                    Yes, I've seen those lists if Trump's "lies", where differences of opinion, or exaggerations, or approximations are called lies. This narrative being desperately pushed by liberals that Trump is the most dishonest person in the history of Washington politics is hilarious and made-to-order for the gullible "Not my president!" snowflakes.

                        One of my favorite moments from the campaign was when Charlie Crist described Hillary as honest, and the crowd laughed.

                          I don't know, Jimmy Carter claimed he talked to his daughter about the great problems of the world, and she told him it was nuclear proliferation. That's pretty creepy!
                          The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                            There were many, but one of my favorite moments from the campaign is when Trump was confronted about saying Carla Fiorina was too ugly to be president.

                              Clearly an impeachable offense.
