I read on the CBS news website, Arizona, (in an effort to battle voter apathy) is considering a million dollar prize to be given randomly to a constituent who has voted. It seems, the powers that be have found a way to make voting fun again!
Barry county could also benefit from such a crazy gameshow scheme. We could offer a chance to pick next anointed official! The next time someone has to leave for "personal matters", or suddenly decides they would like to take on "more responsibilities elsewhere" , or they were "just fired for no apparent reason", the anointment patrol would appear on the doorstep of the lucky winner.
The county could lavish the "anointer" with an all expenses paid trip to Ritchies Coffeeshop, where they would be given the special of the day, at half price. They then will be blindfolded and allowed to spin the wheel of anointment!
The wheel would have on it the most common names from Barry county politics. Sure the same names can be used over and over again as they already are. If the wheel lands on an official that has already been elected to some other post, they would then be forced to resign their present position to take on their newly anointed position. A double spin to see who gets their position! After the fun of spinning the wheel and moving elected officials from post to post there will be closed door meetings held to decide what names get placed on the next wheel of anointment.
Is this an answer to our current state of malaise, and voter apathy? No, but it will give me something fun to do in an empty voter line next time!
Lets see ... Who can be anointed next time?....Tune in tomorrow!
