They ran a whole weekend of Star Trek to celebrate the 50th anniversary.

DAYUM that was wonderful! Saved me having to tune around to avoid Guy Fieri...

Uh-oh... now I've got that little ditty stuck in my ear...

"Shimmy-shimmy-shimmy-shimmy HRC!"

I hope you're right!

I had a long lunch meeting so I got home 15 minutes before it ended. Hadn't planned to watch it anyway, though. I know enough about them to know never to vote for them. I don't trust Libertarians. Too many times I've discovered that someone who tells me he/she is a Libertarian is actually still a republi-CON, just ashamed to admit it out loud.

I did notice, though, that along the right-hand column a headline that said they preferred

Arpaio's opponent during the AZ primary a month ago. He won that one but his opponent in the general is evidently seen as a bigger challenge.

Results (from 8/30/16):

An independent poll in Arizona has Democratic challenger Paul Penzone up 3 percentage points on Arpaio. When undecided voters were asked to choose one of the two, they overwhelmingly sided with Penzone.

“It appears that the ‘toughest sheriff’ in America, Joe Arpaio, is in the toughest race of his career,” said Nathan Sproul, managing director of Lincoln Strategy Group, in a message accompanying the July 22 poll results.

“The voters may be saying it’s finally time for a change. He still has plenty of time to right the ship, but needs to define Penzone quickly or it may be too late.”

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
