Huh. After all the Republican concern over fraud in voter registration, someone was actually arrested for this. And it was a Republican.

This just in as Brad is headed over to the FOX News studios. Yesterday the Los Angeles Times reported on the Republican voter registration outfit who had allegedly been illegally changing thousands of registrations from Democratic to Republican.

Last night the head of that GOP backed group, Mark Anthony Jacoby of Young Political Majors (YPM), was arrested by the California State Election Fraud Taskforce and Oxnard, CA Police.

According to CA SoS Debra Bowen's press release, Jacoby himself had committed voter registration fraud and perjury by lying on his own voter registration form. (That's similar to what Ann Coulter did, though she not only committed felony voter registration fraud, she also committed actual voter fraud, as well, even though such fraud is exceedingly rare.)

Well, I guess they proved their point that voter registration can be a problem....

I didn't even realize Baz had a new flick coming out. Yay! I hope.

This weekend did not go as planned. Saturday while taking a shower, the cold water knob broke off. While I was driving to get a replacement knob, the HVAC fan in my car stopped working. Luckily, I was able to find a local auto parts store that had a blower motor for my car in stock (last one) and I was able to fix that, but while contorting myself to get under the dash I put out my back. I couldn't get the cold water knob off without stripping the screw head so I'm stuck with mismatched knobs in the shower.

Sunday, I had to get in some work I had planned to do Saturday so I missed watching the Chiefs play the Titans, though in hindsight that can be seen as a blessing.

Sorry your day is going so poorly sarameg, I hope it improves.

ION, I'm a little concerned about traffic tonight since McCain is having a rally very near my house this afternoon. On the plus side you know what this means? That's right unlike you commie left coasters and north easterners, I live in a wonderful little pocket of the real America, a pro-America area of this great nation where people are hard working and patriotic.

This morning, the bus driver missed a turn. Then he asked me for direction. He said he'd never driven the route before.

That's the second time that's happened. The first time there was a closed road the driver didn't know about, so I told her where that route was detouring....

My first bike commute was, let's say, semi-successful.

It was successful in that I got here, and I did not die.

But instead of the 40 minutes it should have taken, I made it here in just under 2 hours. This included 1 construction-related detour and a couple of bad-signage related detours, but still. I R SLOW.
