I just filled out my application form for the absentee ballot. It asked me for my "race".
 So should I put "Human" or "Golden Retriever"? Or "Arian" maybe?

8. Say White if you want to get it counted, say "African-American" if you want it thrown in the trash
 by some Bushie.

Sadly, that is pretty much the case these days, and the fact that absentee-ballots ask for which "race" makes it quite clear.

State-legislature controlled by Repugs much?

(no need to answer, I already know the answer, but confirmation would be nice and if I am wrong, I should know, too)

18. Since you asked, I'd go with "Aryan"
 Better chance of the ballot not being "lost" that way.

Some people manage a sensible response, but this is DU so the paranoids come out of the woodwork.

I guess they must have all put "white" to win Congress 

They need another category just for the DUmmies.
