So, let me get this straight...

...Iraqis turn out in droves to vote in an election during which they might get killed by mortars and rockets, and we in the US still worry that voter turn-out might be affected by rain?

In other news, some sources are reporting that the Pakistanis have arrested the American Al Quaeda spokesman, Adam Gadahn. Some in Washington are skeptical, citing that it may be a case of mistaken identity...although wouldn't it be ironic if the authorities in Pakistan nabbed him thanks to racial profiling -- "pick up anybody who looks..."?

More on Election Day

I forgot to mention that yesterday's election in New Britain included a race for the position of constable.

Constable?!! What is this mid-19th Century England?

Let's bring back the beadle then, too!

Bring back voting machines!!!

Voted this morning in the local mayoral race, inter alia, and really, really miss the voting machine.

Filling in circles with black ink seems soooo SAT/CMT-ish.

What a great idea: If you really don't want people to vote, make it seem like taking a test!
