Got a campaign mailer from a nutcase running for sheriff.

He thinks schoolchildren ought to learn cursive handwriting and touch typing. He thinks the Constitution (he doesn’t say which one) forbids campaign contributions. He agrees that sheriffs have statutory authority to protect the Constitution. He thinks banning “screens” in schools will prevent vandalism. He’s on a first-name basis with George Mason. I suppose it goes without saying that he has a degree in electrical engineering.

This makes me sad. I used to like this sort of wacko. Sometimes when I didn’t like the guy who was going to get 80% of the vote in a gerrymandered district, I’d even vote for them. But all the fun has gone out of it now.
