Note to self: Always lock computer when you leave, especially if you leave before the guy who you exchange snarky instant messages with, because some people think it's funny to sneak the USB part of their wireless mouse into the back of your computer and take over your cursor.
You know what they say about payback? Well I'm the bitch.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Voting news for Ohioites:
In most elections, ''State Issue 1'' is something highly significant and its outcome closely watched. However, in Ohio today, Issue 1 doesn't count, literally.
That's because the issue, a referendum on changes in Ohio's Workers Compensation law, died in a legal challenge that determined the measure lacked sufficient valid signatures on petitions to put it before the voters. But that ruling didn't come until it was too late to remove Issue 1 from the ballot, both absentee and electronic.
So today, when you go into the voting booth, you will see Issue 1 on your ballot, even though it isn't a valid ballot issue anymore.

More voting news for Ohio, the funniest of which is from my district: [link]
Two Republican House members reportedly encountered difficulties at their respective polling stations. U.S. Rep. Steve Chabot was said to be turned away for not having proper identification, and Rep. Jean Schmidt could not get the scanner to accept her ballot.

My minion tells me that CNN is reporting voting delays in Colorado due to a...rogue squirrel.
It apparently chewed through the extension cord on which the whole polling place was operating.

The squirrel obviously wants to gay-marry.

The computer wouldn't let right-wing/Libertarian talk show host Neil Boortz vote this morning.
Squirrels are evil.

Note worth saying twice. Or possibly even once.

I find this oddly amusing.
At Engine House No. 52 on Woodbrook Avenue in Northwest Baltimore, volunteers had plugged all of the voting machines into a power strip, but when they added a clock to the line, it sparked a small fire. The flames were contained and the machines survived.

It's prominently posted on the voting machines that the votes don't count.
