There Oughta be a Law

So we are having yet another election, the 4th in 7 years.

Now what makes the powers-that-be think we are interested?  The last thing I want to do right now is go to the polls and vote for the same idiots as last time.  There should be a law against holding so many elections in so few years unless there is a new leader of a party.  Do the taxpayers know this is costing us $19,751,412.67 every time an election is called?  I can think of a thousand better uses for that money.

I don't care which party gets in -- it doesn't even matter.  JUST GIVE US A MAJORITY GOVERNMENT so things can get done!

Manhole Covers

Why don't they make the manholes in the centre of the driving lane so that one's tires don't bounce over them every 20 feet or so?  It doesn't make any sense.

This is just ridiculous to me and an insult to these grieving families.
