So today was St. Valentine’s Day (though the local rabbi likes to call it Valenstein’s Day), but despite that, there was a meeting tonight of the Erie County (PA) Democratic Committee members from the western portion of the county. One of the members brought her (Republican) husband along, but he was well behaved. I was appointed to the committee last year, but to be a voting member, I have to be elected in the upcoming primary. So we all got our petitions today, and now I need to get signatures from 10 Democrats who live in my township. Can I actually find 10 Democrats in my township? I’m sure they’re out there. I’ve got until March 6 to turn it in.
There will be a meeting of the full committee on Saturday morning, and I just learned that US Senator Bob Casey will be there! (He’s running for re-election this year, in case you didn’t know. I signed his petition tonight.) Saturday morning meetings are generally not my forte, but this is something I won’t miss! Later that evening, there will be a petition-signing party.
Hubby was planning a special dinner tonight, but we’ve decided to delay that until tomorrow. I was unable to get to the florist today at all, and they were swamped, as they usually are. Maybe I can make it tomorrow.

From your humble diarist:
This comment by kovie, in terrypinder’s recommended post about Eric Posner’s proposal to bring about a return to slavery. Conservatives are bound and determined to drag American society back to the worst aspects of white patriarchal rule.
