Selectman Cthulhu<\/strong> sign up on my lawn next to a slaughtered goat carcass ritually adorned with wheat germ.\u00a0 I watched the latest feed from my trail cam and noticed that the werewolves have all begun to wear skinny jeans and carry BPA-free water bottles on their belts.\u00a0 None of them look like they could take down a girl scout in a fair fight.\u00a0 Without a doubt, these are times that try men\u2019s souls.<\/p>\n<p>This week at the official induction ceremony I was named Deputy Election Reanimator.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Now this a misnomer.\u00a0 The Reanimator doesn\u2019t really have a deputy since only the primogeniture descendant of Herbert West has the moxy required to bring back the dead, especially during a rush-rush mass ceremony on election night.\u00a0 My job would probably be more accurately described as Deputy Election De-Reanimator.\u00a0 You see the reanimation procedure takes place at the graveyard and apparently is not selective by party affiliation.\u00a0 So, my part is to stand at the gate with the old voting records and stop the Democrat voters from leaving the graveyard.\u00a0 Or at least to make sure their heads don\u2019t leave the graveyard.\u00a0 So, in addition to the lists, a sharpie and a flashlight I\u2019ve got a reasonably sharp machete.\u00a0 This year they modernized my gear by getting me one of those headlights that you can strap to your forehead.\u00a0 That helps quit a bit.\u00a0 I don\u2019t have to ask the deceased to hold my lists while I\u2019m fumbling to cut his head off.\u00a0 Much more dignified and much more ergonomic.<\/p>\n<p>I really hope I\u2019m not asked to help clean up the grave yard on Wednesday morning.\u00a0 I think the volunteers should handle that.\u00a0 I mean, I\u2019ve paid my dues and now I\u2019d like to let the system do its thing, if you know what I mean.\u00a0 Of course, the volunteers do a pretty bad job.\u00a0 Every election night I see mismatched heads on the reanimated voters.\u00a0 It\u2019s kind of an embarrassment.\u00a0 But still, I can\u2019t be expected to do everything around here.\u00a0 At some point the kids just have to be allowed to sink or swim.\u00a0 \u2018Nuff said.<\/p>\n<p>In the real world I attended the latest meeting of our local Republican Town Committee and was surprised to hear that even in the cobalt blue New England state that Dunwich is embedded in the Stupid Party candidates have a fighting chance of winning for once!\u00a0 I could tell the rest of the folks there were almost shocked by the situation.\u00a0 I was quite amused.\u00a0 Maybe I\u2019ve underestimated the people in this country.\u00a0 Could there be a limit to their willingness to endure progressive insanity?\u00a0 Even here?\u00a0 Well, we\u2019ll see.<\/p>\n<p>I will be working on Election Day in an official capacity which is interesting and annoying at the same time.\u00a0 I\u2019ll have to figure out if I can bring my laptop and go on-line when I\u2019m on my breaks.\u00a0 Not being able to follow this election on OCF would be unfortunate.<\/p>\n<p>It should be fairly interesting to be involved in the election.\u00a0 I\u2019ll finally see how the sausage is made.\u00a0 I suspect my town is one of the more boring and honest operations.\u00a0 And maybe the rough stuff happens higher up the ladder in the crooked states that we saw on tv in 2020.\u00a0 I remember those films in Philadelphia where they threw everyone out around midnight and all the skullduggery occurred behind closed doors and blacked out windows.\u00a0 It\u2019s kind of sad to know that after all that went on in plain sight that nothing has been done in some of those states to prevent a replay this year.\u00a0 Well, as I\u2019ve said this is the Day of Reckoning coming up.\u00a0 We\u2019ll find out where we stand and that is valuable in and of itself.\u00a0 So, bring it on, bring it on, bring it on.\u00a0 And where did I put that sharpening stone?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Very interesting week here at the epicenter of the Great Old Ones\u2019 Realm in New England.\u00a0 I put out my Re-Elect First Selectman
