Since you're discussing voting machines, have folks here read Black Box Voting? It's certainly interesting research, especially the section on how the Diebold machines create a secondary copy of the voting data in order to tally votes.

See, there's next to no chance that there will be a crisis keeping me at the office past 4:30pm, whereas it's highly likely I'll hit snooze a whole bunch tomorrow morning.

Cranberry bog - kind of sandy, marshy areas where the berries grow on vines, and to harvest them the flood the bogs to bring all the berries to the surface where they can just scoop them up.
How this will all translate to a plaza in downtown Chicago I have no clue.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
