It made sense when I got to this part...<p><i>His election means that county commissioners from his district will pick a replacement, who must be a Republican and live there. That will most likely play out in the coming weeks after the election results are confirmed on Friday, said Arnold Knightly, a spokesman for Nye County, the main county in Mr. Hof’s district.</i>

I drove through Hof&#x27;s district last year and picked up his memoir &quot;The Art of the Pimp&quot;, which was stacked high in the gas stations.<p>Hof was a selfish man with selfish politics, but it was a fascinating read, and weirdly honest; i.e. Hof deliberately did not make himself look good in his own memoir. I have no idea why.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Art-Pimp-Mans-Search-Money&#x2F;dp&#x2F;1941393276" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Art-Pimp-Mans-Search-Money&#x2F;dp&#x2F;1941393...</a>

That&#x27;s the best NYT headline I&#x27;ve seen, even if it doesn&#x27;t equal the NY Post&#x27;s &quot;Headless Body in Topless Bar&quot;.

Even a dead pimp and brothel owner can win us elections with enough facebook sponsoring support. Imagine doing the same for presidency! Oh wait...
