On the lighter side...

Go figure. In Springdale, AR, right down the road from us, a guy won a local race after backing out and not campaigning. He "withdrew" too late, so his name was on the ballots. He won the race and has decided he'll serve, anyway. In Nevada, tied races can be settled by drawing cards, and that's exactly what happened in one county commissioner race this year. At least it wasn't settled by a game of "Texas Hold 'em" poker... [heh]
