Wait, are we saying Chirivas won? Another hit to RIRA... She'll be happy - whenever she wakes up.. she's usually sleeping off a long night of blogging right now...
Congratulations to the winners! The voters have spoken, and now the future of RIRA looks much more promising!!
No, Helstien won with 545 votes.
Oh Good! sorry, viewed the results quickly on my phone... Call me stupid today.
No - call you stupid everyday.
And I agree thank God Chirivas lost! It's a pleasure to not be on that totally corrupt organization! Free at last, as the saying goes!
Please do not insult those who may have a nocturnal schedule, such as kitties, or owls. What you call "sleeping off" any activity because it's nocturnal, we throw right back at you: There you are, at your job, making hay while the sun shines, right? Then you have to sleep off your daily Sisyphean efforts to make a living, overnight - you are tethered to work, whereas I, like all my feline brethren, enjoy life, only "working" minimally. It's quite fun to be a Kitty, and occasionally comment to keep you and others in line!
Heyyy Jeff baby!! You the man now!! I'm sure you and the clique are thrilled and will continue to be thrilled for a long time to come!! You have lost your nemesis or nemesi!! You have finally vanquished the persistent critic of conflict of interests! So now the conflicts will really roll on unencumbered... RIRA will become the Bobsey Twin of RIOC!!
Lynne's efforts paid off finally, right? She was a busy lobbyist is what we heard - phoning everyone in IH to ask them to vote for anyone but the voice of conscience, the rectitude dude, and the magus of money! Nice work, Lynne!
Jeff: Maybe you should move back to RI and be welcomed back with open arms to the CC! Maybe you can finally finish the work on the web site - or go back to the old web site - or whatever the CC is currently doing in the aftermath of your quitting last December..!
Oh boy! Someone's a little sour!!! Don't cry Helen. Look at the bright side - more time to rant.
I'm not sour! I'm overjoyed!
Do you really think I wanted to be associated with a corrupt organization that couldn't even run an honest election?
Everyone knows what goes on in RIRA: That's why they had a shortfall of 12 nominees this year as well as low voter turnout.
I put in my time - I put up with them and their intimidation and organized corruption long enough.
You can call what I say "ranting" - I mean, I can call what you say "idiocy" - so what? That's infantile name-calling - ultimately, pointless.
Because you are a heartless yuppie, I call everything you say nonsense - do you want me to say that? It's pointless for either of us to make these blanket generalizations, and simply slinging names makes for poor arguments.
What you can't stand is that I'm right: The trend since the inception of the country has been for more equality and humanism, less racism and finally the establishment of the social safety net. The conservatives can't stand to hear this since many of these trends stem from socialism, which is anathema to them since they are so heartless.
Nevertheless, millions of us will continue to call out the racists, the small-minded heartless people, the heartless conservatives, the greedy developers, the anti-gays, the anti-feminists, and so forth. Silence would equal assent, and thus millions of vocal liberal voices including my own will never shut up!
So, you nominated yourself as candidate for VP but then you didn't get the votes and now you are saying that you don't really want to be associated with the RIRA. Do you ever make any sense?
