Election results | It’ll be a few days yet until all the mailed in ballots in last Tuesday’s primary election will be hand tabulated. Meanwhile, you can see results-to-date a the County’s Board of Elections Website. Drill down into the pages there to find out balloting-to-date totals for the political positions at the very grass-roots level. In this “look-alike” party “party” for the two most populated political parties, you can see who’s striving to be the local party chieftains. We don’t know why all citizens are tasked to pay for this partisan insanity; each of the lookalike parties should have to pick up the tab for this tomfoolery.

Columbia news, views & reviews 
“National Donut Day”, you wrote. First of all, according to my spell check, it should read “Doughnut.” Secondly, going back to normal by eating such unhealthy things is one of the ‘normal’ things we need not do.
BTW, today is also “World Environment Day.” That is something we could indeed put our energies to.
Since cops and doughnuts are so closely associated, only a white supprimierst would eat one. We should give new meaning to the phrase “I’m dying for a doughnut.” I hope anyone eating a doughnut chokes on it.
When is National alcohol day? I’m celebrating it today! And tomorrow, and….
Well, both of you have convinced me: NO DONUTS / DOUGHNUTS in my foraging quest today. Mr. D, your suggestion makes sense. A glass of wine will be fine.
Cheers!
