Register to Vote, Now

You have little time left.

And bear in mind the Democrats are registering a lot of new voters. And, wouldn't you know it, some of the Democratic-leaning organizations are being investigated for potentially-criminal incompetence in failing to register some voters.

Just put that in the "Whoopsie-Daisy" file, I guess!

(There is no word yet from Oliver Willis about whether this Democratic-leaning organization's gross incompetence in failing to register voters constitutes "racism," as he alleged regarding Republican efforts to reduce voter fraud. When he speaks authoritatively on this issue, I will of course let you know.)

Update: Rusty says that the registration deadline for many states has passed. However, some states allow registration for a few days yet.

Correction: I initially echoed Florida-Cracker in saying that Republican applications were beign tossed out. That seems to be her interpretation of the events; it is not actually stated in her articles. Since I don't have evidence for that specific claim, I've edited to omit it.

Thanks to Dave Pasquino for keeping me honest. Although I'm really getting sick of these "partisan political operatives" conducting an unfair "jihad" against me.

Ace - Neither of Cracker's links contain references to ACORN tossing Republican registrations. Both links talk about ACORN being potentially criminal in its incompetence and potentially causing many many voters who thought they registered to be turned away at the polling place. But the only reference to throwing away any registrations is Cracker's own comment that Republican registrations are being tossed. Am I missing something?

Last day to register in most states was yesterday.

Fortunately I was able to register via the "Orange County Democrats" - who had a booth set up down @ Huntington Beach one fine day a few months ago. I got quite possibly the nastiest look ever when I checked "republican" - however I did receive confirmation (via mail) that I am registered. Not that W is going to take CA anyway... :(

Dave,

You seem to be right. I have corrected and credited you.

The Dems are scraping under every rock for voters this election, and I can't watch a 30 minute program on MTV without seeing an ad for voter registration with thinly veiled hints as to who I should vote for.

Even have a client who is harassing all his vendors to vote Kedwards and to take somebody with them to the polls (oh and he works for the federal government). I've seen local elections come down to campaigns giving free drinks for "I voted" stickers, no reason the dems won't resort to any tactic they can. Drug addicts, illegal immigrants and dead people don't show up in polls, so we gotta bring out as many real voters on our side as possible.

This isn't Christmas Eve fare, and I thought about waiting until the 26th to post it, but supposedly an amateur detective has solved the Zodiac killer mystery. And the horrific Black Dahlia killing. He says it's the same person! I always thought of them as very far apart in time but I think Black Dahlia was mid-fifties (nope, 1947) mid and the Zodiac murders began in 1968 so it's possible it's the same killer.

The killer, if it's the same man, would have been in his 20s when he killed the Black Dahlia and his 40s when he did the Zodiac murders. Possible.

A little caveat: I saw someone snark on Reddit, "The Zodiac case gets solved more often than Wordle." There are a ton of coincidences here, supposedly, like a Zodiac cipher being solved by the name "Elizabeth." Elizabeth Short was the name of the so-called Black Dahlia.

If you don't know about the Black Dahlia, don't look it up. Just accept that it's grisly on the level of Jack the Ripper.

Yes, the named suspect resembles the police sketch of Zodiac.

Here's a podcast with the amateur sleuth who claims he cracked the Zodiac.

Megyn Kelly finally calls out Candace Owens
Whoops, I meant she bravely attacks Sydney Sweeney for "bending the knee." (Sweeney put out a very empty PR statement saying "I'm against hate." Whoop-de-doo.)
Megyn Kelly claims she doesn't want to call people out on the right when asked about Candace Owens but then has no compunctions at all about calling people out on the right.
As long as they're not Candace Owens. Strangely, she seems blind and deaf to anything Candace Owens says. That's why this woman calls her "Megyn Keller."
She's now asking her pay-pigs in Pakistan how they think she should address the Candace Owens situation, and if they think this is really all about Israel and the Jews.

More revelations about the least-sexy broken relationship in media history
I'd wanted to review Parts 2, 3, and 4 of Ryan Lizza's revenge posts about Olivia Nuzzi, but they're all paywalled. I thought about briefly subscribing to get at them, but then I read this in Part 2:
Remember the bamboo from Part 1?

Do I ever! It's all I remember!
Well, bamboo is actually a type of grass, and underground, it's all connected in a sprawling network, just like the parts of this story I never wanted to tell. I wish I hadn't been put in this position, that I didn't have to write about any of this, that I didn't have to subject myself or my loved ones to embarrassment and further loss of privacy.

We're back to the fucking bamboo. Guys, I don't think I can pay for bamboo ruminations.
I think he added that because he was embarrassed about all the bamboo imagery from Part 1. He's justifying his twin obsessions: His ex, and bamboo. Which is not a tree but a kind of grass, he'll have you know.
Olivia Nuzzi's crappy Sex and the City fanfic book isn't selling, says CNN (and CNN seems pretty pleased about that)
On Tuesday, the book arrived in stores. At lunchtime, in the Midtown Manhattan nexus of media and publishing, interest in Nuzzi's story seemed more muted. The Barnes and Noble on Fifth Avenue had seven copies tucked into a "New & Notable" rack next to the escalator, below Malala Yousafzai's "Finding My Way." Not many had sold so far, a store employee said.

A few blocks uptown, at a branch of the local independent chain McNally Jackson Books, a few volumes lay on a table of new and noteworthy nonfiction near the front of the store. No one was lining up to get them, or even browsing. Bookseller Alex Howe told CNN around 3 p.m. that though the store had procured "several dozen" copies, not a single one had yet sold -- a figure he said was surprising, considering how many people in media and publishing work in the area.

"We ordered a lot and so far, people have not been beating down the door," Howe said. "I'm not sure where we're gonna put them because right now, supply is outpacing demand." (A manager at McNally Jackson noted that Howe was speaking only in a personal capacity, not as a representative of the store.)

She trashes Ryan Lizza for his "Revenge Porn" here. Emily Jashinsky says that when the Bulwark's gay grifter Tim Miller asked why she didn't report on the (alleged) use of ketamine by RFKJr., she broke down in tears and asked to end the interview.
