In the Karma Is a B---ch Department, there is this story:
our current governor lost the race by 1.2% He would like a recount, but he can’t
have one. Why? Because last year he signed a bill that there can only be a
recount of an election if the margin is 1.1% or less in retaliation for a
request for a recount during the presidential election. People, how many times
do I have to remind you: just because you are in power today, you may not be
tomorrow, and the legislation you enact to block your minority opponents will come
back to bite you once you are in the minority. This goes for both sides of the
political spectrum; neither one has a monopoly on stupidity when it comes to
this behavior.
Here's something sort of interesting: another DNA service
said I could upload my raw data for free, and they would give me ethnicity
results. I did it, and they did not report my drop of Ashkenazi blood or my
drop of Mongolian blood that the original DNA site claims I have, and most
alarming, there was no trace of the West African I supposedly have. Weird! This
site said I was almost half Irish, and a good chunk English (the first site did
not differentiate between these two), and then 16% Balkan. I found that
fascinating because the first site also said I had a healthy chunk of Balkan,
but I don’t know where those ancestors are on my family tree. But I can claim
this heritage with some of my favorite people, including Cecil Markovitch and
of course Travalon. Hopefully we aren’t cousins…
