New Jersey may cut ‘idiot’ from constitution

PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (Reuters) — New Jersey is to consider cutting the word ‘idiot’ from its constitution so that people with some mental disabilities won’t be barred from voting. State Senate President Richard Codey introduced a bill Monday that would remove language from the New Jersey constitution that was designed more than 150 years ago to prevent people suffering from mental illness or handicap from casting their vote in national, state or local elections.

With all the pressing issues of the day, it’s nice to see that the “idiots” in office have time to handle this pressing issue. As opposed to handling one of the non-pressing issues, like out-of-control property taxes, a dishonest politicians taking “part time” jobs to pad their pensions, and rampant corruption by both parties.
Arghh!

So I contacted WordPress’s global command hq, (OK,I left some feedback to wordpress via their owner’s feedback mechanism.
*** quoting my feedback ***
I’m not so vain as to think any one is impressed by my blog. Heck, I’m not even impressed with it. But, it’s MY ugly baby. Anyway, when I clicked on the blog link it says “new”. So from that I conclude it’s spam. I don’t understand the motivation for spamming blogs, but you may want to put out an APB lest someone of weaker moral character and a less objective sense of their own blog’s worth, might be tripped up. fwiw, fjohn
*** end my feedback ***
The ip address says it’s from California.
I haven’t deleted it because I want to think SOMEONE appreciates my blog. ;-)
