    I am a notorious thread killer 'round these parts-


    BUT I want to just say


    Norm Coleman is evil and crooked as a stick in water.


    Out of these 2 New York Jews- Al Franken is the only one that is from Minnesota.

    This particular Minnesotan is doing the happy dance...I always thought Franken was a funny guy. Then I caught his show on Air America a few years ago and started respecting him & his politics. I truly believe he's the best representative for Minnesota in the Senate. I hope he carries on some of the legacy of Wellstone, whose loss is still deeply felt by a lot of us.


    Also, Norm Coleman is an ass.

    Please people - study this page.


    [minnesota.publicradio.org]


    You would think that filling out a ballot is a fairly straightforward procedure, but apparently it is not. Or that years of school indoctrination in the practice of completely filling in the bubble on scantrons would help, but apparently it doesn't.


    In these times, where Real Americans and Effete Liberal Fake Americans are in a locked in a battle to the death over control of government, we cannot afford to lose a single vote. Election Day is no time to show off your sense of humor (that means you should not vote for Count Chocula, no matter how fond you are of his cereal ) or skip over reading the directions. Thank you.

    @Your Screenplay Sucks: Oh, and if you make a mistake, get a new ballot. Don't whip out your white-out, for fuck's sake.

    Sidenote - does anyone know what APPIC means? I keep seeing it in the tags on various posts and cannot figure it out...Google only gives me some sort of association of psychology centers...

    I'm just exited for his first speech on the Senate floor. I'm sure he'll hit all the policy he needs to, but you know he'll bring the funny to C-Span.

    @MeganGlass: I thought "lizard people" was a Douglas Adams "So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish" reference.


    If only the voter who filled out this ballot would come forward so he could clear up the mystery. Also, so I could punch him in the face for fucking up his ballot in such a closely contested election.
