On the third day, he resurrected...

It seems, that the person I least want to be governor is now challenging the votes and saying that he was elected. He waited to react now in keeping with the Messiah hoopla he has created around himself. (Yes: this guy's campaign revolves around drawing comparisons between himself and Jesus Christ. The final pre-election rally included him in ascension mode on a platform that slowly raised with special lighting effects mimicking Old Glory. He has proclaimed himself as Puerto Rico's savior, he considers himself a Protestant-Catholic (WTF!?), priests and ministers have appeared in TV ads calling him "The Chosen and Annointed One". It is deeply disturbing honestly, many Christians from his own party have not voted for him.) His predecessor in the PNP party is rumoured of stealing the election in 1980. After initially awarding the election to one person, they recounted, shut down the computer system and when it came back up, he won. My mother, who has always been anti-PNP, has not voted ever since her ID was among the ones destroyed by a fire in the Electoral Commission that same year, preventing her from voting without an affidavit.

I really would like for things to stay as they are right now. The three parties have control of different government branches. Most of the candidates in positions of power are not combative, son of guns, they seem to value relevant discussion of the issues. I would hate for political assholes to get a hold of power.

There. I don't think I will talk about politics for the next four years. Sorry, L, I know you and your family know a tender, softer, gentler side of Rossellini, but it seems to be a gut reaction in me to despise the guy. Sigh.
