Me too! But I've only been up for 47 minutes and I have to get through the rest of the day.
My goal today is to not say, not even once, how tired I am.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I need K's help to do my taxes, obviously.
Get in line.
I gave up and didn't go back to sleep. But at least I'm not at work. Yet.
NPR makes a brilliant use of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Watcher Rupert Giles in their segment On the Media.
Too bad Buffy can't slay the Media Demon that is James O'Keefe.
I am so fed up with my state gov't. So first they pass the "any woman seeking to terminate a pregnancy must have a sonogram and hear the heartbeat" bill, which I loathe, clearly, and is in no way "small gov't" or "gov't staying out of our lives" which is what so many of them claim to be their political stance. NOW, they are on the verge of passing a law requiring residents to have a state or fed gov't issued photo ID in order to VOTE! THE FUCK?!?! Also they are looking to cut property taxes, WHILE WE ARE FACING A BUDGET DEFICIT AND WILL BE LAYING OFF TEACHERS?!?!?!?

What's that actually pan out to? I mean, if you're deaf?

How do they currently ID people? (I've never voted, anywhere, so I have no idea how these things work)
How do they currently ID people?
Signature.
I can't remember if it's how they do it here, but in NY, you sign the register against the signature you registered to vote with.
Talk me through this slowly, because I am a newb to your ways of democracy and hope...but what's big difference between simply registering to vote and getting a state ID? What do you need for the latter that you don't need for the former?
Oh, and this (SFW, but a little WTF?) doesn't belong anywhere near my Democracy 101 questions.
