I voted

Don't worry, I'm not going to get political; anybody who has read this blog for a while has a good idea which way I lean; if you don't like my politics, just check out some of the blogs on my sidebar.  Several of those lean in the opposite direction.  I'm an equal opportunity blogger.
A couple of the decisions I made yesterday were difficult for me.  I won't mention one of them, because I'd be getting all political.  Let's just say I really didn't want to vote for that crook, but I felt I had no choice this year.  
The one I will tell you about is this:  For the first time ever, I voted against Congressman Ike Skelton.  He's done an excellent job of listening to his constituents; he stands for most of the things I believe in.  He's a good man.
Unfortunately, he's been in office since 1976.  That's far too long.  
We need term limits; since I haven't been given a vote on that, I'm voting against people who have been in office too long.  I have yet to decide how long "too long" is, but anything over fifteen years would surely qualify.    


That's as political as I get.
