A lighthearted look at news of the day:
The town of McIntire, Iowa, held a special election last week to decide whether to extend the terms of the mayor and city council members from two to four years. Exactly zero voters showed up. The place couldn't have been quieter if it was a Kim Jong-Un hair stylists' convention. Even the poll judges didn't cast ballots. But look at the bright side. A government finally came up with a political question that got a unanimous voter response.

From now on, you have to take the people of McIntire, Iowa seriously when they say one vote can make a difference.
---
What do the president of Mexico and leaders of the Boy Scouts have in common? They apparently have the ability to telephone the president without using a phone.
---
At various times recently, President Trump said he had spoken by phone to the Mexican president about border policies, and that leaders of the Boy Scouts had called him to tell him his speech at a Jamboree, for which the scouts later apologized, was the "greatest speech that was ever made to them." Then, after the people involved made denials, the White House acknowledged these were not exactly real phone calls.
By the way, Domino's owes the president a free pizza for not delivering within 30 minutes of a call he might have made to them, too.

You have to feel sad for former White House spokesman Anthony Scaramucci. He didn't last long enough to even write a tell-all op-ed, let alone a book.
---
Once again, a public official falls victim to being lured into giving an obscenity laced interview to the New Yorker about a co-worker.
---
As the president demonstrated with Scaramucci, sometimes you have to fill the swamp a bit before you can drain it.

It's municipal election time again in Utah. I'm waiting for the candidate who will promise to bring the next total solar eclipse to my city. How did Idaho and Wyoming win that bid?
