Those percents with the decimal points in them are a bit tricky. One
percent is a hundredth, so one percent of 26,152 is 261.52, rounded up
to 262, and .76 of that is about three quarters, so call it oh about
200, hardly enough to support a restaurant, but maybe the people of
Cheboygan, living near an international border, are a cosmopolitan
crowd, eager to taste the cuisine of many lands. But a little internet
research reveals that they are not, the most exotic appears to be Thai,
although there is a Mexican food truck. There are a couple Mexican
restaurants in Petoskey, where I believe your daughter lives. You might
want to sample one and try the food you will be forced to eat every
day, and extra special hot sauce for swamp gringos, once they take over.
I do wonder where you read about them taking over though. Those must be
some peculiar tv stations and newspapers, I never see that. Like I
said they are about a third of the population here, but by and large
they stay away from the ballot box and their aldermen are generally
toadies of the mayor and their other elected officials are feathering
their own nests just like the Poles and the Irish.
What I meant to say was that Kasich won in the 'moderate' lane of
candidates, the one with Rubio and Bush, Cruz has the tea
party/evangelical lane all to himself now that the Huck and Icky Rick
(yes, I love nicknames) are gone, and the republicans have a new lane
this year, the Trump lane, talk about tearing the party a new asshole.
I don't think it is up to a single attorney general to declare Cruz
presidential. You know his opponents would find some other attorney
general to declare him unpresidential. I think it has to go all the way
to the supremes and by then Cruz may be finishing up his second term
and we will all be going to some holy roller church every Sunday and
Wednesday evening, and there will be somebody there inspecting us to see
if our shoes are shined and our buttons polished.
I was looking up amendments last night. The last one passed was in
1992 delaying laws effecting Congressional salary from taking effect
until the next election. It was first proposed in 1789. Wow. I have
no memory of that.
The last one before that was 1971, the 18 year old vote. I believe that
was done to sooth restive youth who were being drafted at that age. I
don't remember that there was much furor over it at the time. You would
think, if you lived on Mars, that they could do something like that now
with the natural-born thing, but if Obama proposed it, it would be
treason, and I can't see the republicans proposing it because so many of
their constituents are afraid of furriners taking over.
Watched the dems debate last night, it was a lot more civil and issue
oriented then the reps, so it was kind of boring. I will be watching
Saturday's debate (no I never get tired of those things) and i will give
you a report on Monday.
