But it won't let me vote. Oh, Ashton, how could you?

Disgusting.

Someone once told me, in all sincerity, that unregulated and uncontrolled capitalism is the best way to keep business executives honest and accountable. I hope his words don’t choke him to badly on the way down.

uh-uh-uh, not quite yet. Before you vote, please re-read Yes We Can, All About Obama, Random Political Thoughts Part Deux and Debates of All Ilk in their entirety, to make informed advance decisions.

Please ignore me if this has already been linked on LoT. I hadn't see it until it was just linked on another board and I think it is dang funny!

So I photographed my ballot. Not just to commemorate my part in electing the first black president in history (again, not the reason I'm voting for him, but historical none the less), but also so I can keep track of how I voted. Technically, I have my sample ballot, but I didn't totally fill it out ahead of time and this was quick and easy.

Now when the election results come in, I can actually remember silly things like what the heck was Prop 12 and which way did I vote on it (had to do a little wiki research, but it was one of the three Yes's (yesses?) on my ballot.

Princess Nudelman won't be voting on Nov. 4 because she's dead. And she's a goldfish.

I've always kind of wondered how pet names get on official listings. It amuses me.

Interesting article on Rovian politics vs. the internet

Quote:

Thanks to YouTube -- and blogging and instant fact-checking and viral emails -- it is getting harder and harder to get away with repeating brazen lies without paying a price, or to run under-the-radar smear campaigns without being exposed.

Apparently the RNC has spent in the neighborhood of $150 grand on Palin's wardrobe and make-up. http://news.aol.com/elections/articl...959x1200686752

So why does she always look the same? Can they write the expense off as a gambling loss?
