it’s almost so predictable i don’t want to believe it, but here we go….

the charleston gazette in charleston, west virginia is reporting that voters are witnessing their electronic votes switch from ‘obama’ to ‘mccain’ right before their very eyes. how convenient! any complaints that the votes switched the other way around?

from the article:

“My son Chris said, ‘Mom, I didn’t vote for the people who came up on that machine. I wanted to go back and vote again. I called the lady at the polls and she said it was my fault because of the way I was punching the buttons.’

it should be noted that in putnam county, wv early voters have the option to vote using an optical scan ballot (a paper punch ballot). use the paper ballot!

norm says goodman says that the star trek experience may be moving to neonopolis on fremont before long. i think that would be swell. i’m down with drinking romulan ale in front of brass instead of waiting in line for a 22 of tecate at that bodega style gift shop across from fitzgeralds on friday nights.

when gas prices were at their highest this summer oil was at $145 a barrel. oil is now at about $70 a barrel – that’s half of the highest per-barrel price – and gas is still roughly $3.30 in vegas. what gives, assholes?

watch this video for nifty tricks that give the finger to the big oil pricks. or just ride your bike, fatty! that beer gut ain’t gonna burn itself off!

Double Your Gas Mileage! 2X – A funny movie is a click away

maybe i’ve been living under a rock for the last few years but i just learned of freakin frog’s 2 for 1 happy hour speacial (3:00-7:00). i traipsed over to freakin frog to watch the palin/biden debate a couple of weeks a go and was shocked to see i only had $5 in my slimy wallet. the nice lady behind the counter analyzed my situation and set me up with – to my surprise – two PBRs for $3. brilliant! that tradition will hold fast this evening when the second presidential debate airs live on the frog’s many tvs. arrive early for a good seat. the debate begins at 6:00.

oh yeah, in case you’ve been living under a rock too, the freakin frog is located on maryland parkway directly across from the UNLV campus.

no, i mean it. i think the whole point of the last five elections is to try and get people to participate in a democracy enough to make it a non-representative democracy. so let’s at least try and see, ok? what if about 87% people of the entire country voted. i think we would truly be more powerful as citizens. what if we then reform our election process so that there’s no more electoral college. what if we then voted to expand our participatory democracy just a little? we’d have a little bigger governement and a LOT bigger choice. let’s all speak up at once. let’s study local politics because that affects your pocketbook even more.

go here til 9pm tonight!!!
LET’S GET GOING!
