Register to Vote, NowAnd 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. posted by Ace at 02:24 PM
CommentsAce - 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. Posted by: Rusty Shackleford on October 5, 2004 02:46 PM
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... :( Posted by: fat kid on October 5, 2004 03:03 PM
Dave, You seem to be right. I have corrected and credited you. Posted by: ace on October 5, 2004 03:10 PM
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. Posted by: Paul B. on October 5, 2004 04:02 PM

"All women who are overweight or obese will have to wear burka. 10,000 steps per day, low carb."
Months ago, I reported that the final Zodiac cypher had been cracked and the name of the killer revealed. And the name of the killer turned out to be someone suspected in the unsolved Black Dahlia murder. The general tone of my mention of this was "serious you guys, this is real."
Well, it's not real. It's total bullshit. Sorry about that. I did two things: 1, I bought into something, a conspiracy theory really, because it was new and exciting. And 2, I allowed a self-declared "expert" to snow me over with his "expert" claims about solving ciphers, an alleged expertise I could not challenge because I know practically nothing about codebreaking. I remember being similarly swindled by self-declared "experts" babbling about "chromatic aberrations." (Although I didn't really buy into that, but I found it "interesting" and I wasn't strongly skeptical about it. Hey they said they're "experts," they must know that they're talking about, right?) I screwed up. It won't be the last time, I'm sure.
TJM definitively ranks the films of Andrei Tarkovsky and explains the joys of discovering older movies over anticipating new ones.

On "Professor" Arday:
He was their living lawn jockey, period. They won't say that 'cause they're sensitive and down with his struggle and all. He was there to appease and flatter their sense of being uplifters of the oppressed. In truth, he served as their living lawn jockey -- no more, no less, and unworthy of even a second thought on their part. Tokenism, pure and simple.-- Krebs v Carnot Recent Comments
