My heart bleeds purple Kool-aid

Apparently neither group of Cigarette Nazis have enough valid signatures to be on the ballot.

In the case of SmokeFreeOhio, it's another case of petition technicalities, though this time Blackwell was the source of the problem, and the courts are disallowing the petitions. I suppose that for the sake of consistency, I should be crying about this. But given that there is no right to a public vote regarding the use of private property, I can only applaud.

That's too bad. I was really exciting about checking that big ol' "NO" on my absentee ballot... :(

Yeah, well unfortunately there are morons who think that "democracy" gives them a right to dispose of others' property. If I could say no without somebody else saying yes, I'd be thrilled too. As it is, the uncertainty is just too exciting. What's really needed is a place to vote "Not only no, but HELL NO!"
