Hmmmm..........

Been watching the news reports about wingers who are “observing” voters as they deposit their ballots in drop boxes. And I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s probably a good thing that such “observers” weren’t present when I dropped off my own ballot. Otherwise, my ballot would likely have been accompanied by my banjo so that I could go all Seeger on those watchers, making sure that all that “observing” doesn’t go to waste. Ya never know, that Seegering could go on for hours as I inch my way to the drop box, maybe even drawing some fellow Seegerers along the way. Hmmm...

1. I think you are on to something...

We need people to step up and bring their guitars to entertain these "observers" with some loud, loud, feedback when there are no people dropping off ballots.

2. Be sure your amp goes to 11.

3. I'm calling 911 if I see anybody near the drop box....

"Hello... there are some suspicious people hanging around in the parking lot at the fire station. I think they are having sex and maybe doing drugs."

Fellow banjoist here. Long live Pete.

9. I don't know.

I think you should honor them with their theme song "Dueling Banjos." Pretty much every time I see photos of those folks it starts playing in my head anyhow.

I'd love to find good way to describe these folks that didn't denigrate some other group. You can take the bigot out of the "xxxx," but you can't take the "xxxx" out of the bigot.

10. Distraction and misdirection are OUR friends, too.

And I do fantasize about taking a page from their book and making it OURS!

Study their techniques and figure out how to turn their strategy upside down so it works for OUR team instead.

All’s fair. If the rules don’t apply to them, then maybe those rules don’t apply to us either.

11. I don't like to think what will happen if I encounter such vermin. Verbal abuse loud enough to wake

Harry Truman would be stage one.

12. I am thinking about doing a recon in Lansing Michigan

on drop boxes, to observe whether I can see any "observers"...


(I read a recent comment on my only phone newsapp "Smart News", which i love, where the commenter claimed she saw such in my own city...)

13. Can you get someone on bagpipes to accompany you?
