I'm on voter suppression detail today.

I have to switch all the 'push' and 'pull' signs on the doors to the polling places. :D

Don't forget all those phone calls to Democrats and Republicans telling them their polling place has changed.

I wasn't worried about you, Saxy. I figured you'd get the door open regardless of what the sign said. :D

And in other "breaking news"

Britney Spears files for divorce from her husband Kevin Federline, citing irreconcilable differences.

The media is mental... :screwy:

Don't blame Fox - I also spotted the "Britney Divorcing Kevin" line on CNN, CBS, ABC, and MSNBC. Along with "Kirstie in Bikini" articles :yikes:

I don't get riled over such trivialities. Fox News does have an 'entertainment' section, but I don't read it. I don't know who Brittany Spears is married to. I do know that Kirstie Alley has apparently lost weight because that clip somehow made into the 'news' section. This would seem to indicate that there isn't enough news to fill the page.

After work I stopped by to vote....

I was in and out in lest than 10 minutes......

There was no one on line at any of the voting machines......

Oh ............. It was about 5:30PM.... so the hogs out here must
have been stuffing their faces :mrgreen:

On a serious note - I hope there was a bigger turnout than what I saw.

One man interviewed on TV last night said "If you don't vote then you should never complain about the elected administration"

Hillary won here in NY......

I just can't picture her and ex-president try and keep it in your pants....
as New Yorkers.... :rofl:

Not many red states left.... <sniff>
