What Country Am I Living In?

http://www.ajc.com/services/content/printedition/2008/10/30/citizen.html

Counties can’t certify their election results until the challenges are resolved. If the voters can prove citizenship, Handel said, their ballots will be counted.

Any voter can challenge another’s qualifications to cast a ballot by notifying a precinct poll manager, Handel said. That voter then would be given a challenge ballot and would have to go before the election board.


So, we're going to allow anyone voting on Election Day to point fingers at other voters and say they're not a legal citizen, and the state will then put tell them to vote on a paper ballot which won't be counted until the citizenship dispute is resolved on Friday? Where am I? How does anyone think this is a good idea? The possibility of abusing this system to, if nothing other than cause mayhem, is incredible. What if I just sit at the polls all day and say I want every single voter to prove their citizenship before we count their vote? Would they remove me from the polls? What if I got a group of people together and we rotated in and out of polls all day long causing problems? What an incredible mess they've opened themselves up to.

Just Wow

Police say teen [girl] driver hit 107 mph in a construction zone.

OSP Trooper Ryan Hockema tried to stop a red 1995 Ford Mustang he spotted going 87 mph near a construction site. According to the trooper, the vehicle then accelerated to speeds as high as 107 mph in the work zone while failing to maintain the travel lane, following other vehicles too closely and making unsafe lane changes.

The driver, Messer, allegedly told the trooper she had trouble seeing while talking on her cell phone before stopping for the officer, according to OSP.


Kimberly Messer of Springfield Oregon, you should have your license taken away for a very long time because of this. You are a hazard to everyone on the road. I hope your parents leave you in jail for a day or two before taking you home and grounding you for the rest of your life. How stupid do you have to be to drive like that and then mention anything about talking on your cell phone. She's incredibly lucky that she's 18, because Oregon has a ban on cell phone use for drivers under 18.

Bracelet FAIL

If you're a company in the business of manufacturing bracelets a good way to make sure your customers never come back is to stamp the F-word on a handful of the bracelets for an order:
Obscene word stamped on some school bracelets

Apparently, Weber School District ordered 30,000 bracelets that were supposed to read "Color Me Drug Free", but some instead had F*** written on them. Whoops.

Methinks the bracelet company will not be getting a second order.
