Gophernet.org official anti-endorsement
I don’t usually talk about politics. I usually lean left, but I think that everyone in office is an asshole. When I go to vote, I vote against the incumbent when in doubt. The optimist in me would rather go with a punk who hasn’t screwed up yet over the punk who already has. The last candidate I cared a little about was Rufus Terrill, running as a conservative democrat for Georgia Lieutenant Governor because, in his AJC profile, while the other candidates answered the “favorite gadget” question by talking about their blackberrys, Rufus’s answer was “a gun.” He seems probably a little nuts, but at least he’s open about it. He got three percent of the vote in the primary.
Once in a while a candidate will do something so spectacularly bad, either in office or in their campaign, that I’ll actually go out of my way to vote against them. For this reason, I ask all of you in District 7 of the Fulton County Board of Education to vote against Julia Bernath. I, unfortunately, am in the absurdly arranged District 3 (including Sandy Springs and Hapeville), but this doesn’t stop me from seeing Ms. Bernath’s awful campaign signs. I don’t think that anyone who uses Comic Sans should be in charge of the county’s children.
