Orcinus
On this off year Election Day, I discover that David Neiwert has an interesting entry on voters and voting.
The central question is simple, and the answers tells a lot about you. It is indeed a Rohrschach test.
Is it better that a hundred felons, or illegal immigrants vote, than to prevent a single eligible citizen from voting?
I find myself disturbed by the prospect that eligible, legal citizens of the US might get caught in an overzealous dragnet designed to stop ineligible voters from casting a ballot. Be it felons or illegal immigrants, I would rather, personally, err on the side of caution than to prevent ordinary citizens of the US from having their franchise in the name of preventing those who really should vote, from voting.

Urban Legends Reference Pages: Photo Gallery (Grand Canyon Skywalk)
Via my friend Bridgette, a Grand Canyon Skywalk is planned to be opened in 2006 in the Hualapai Indian Reservation.
It will have glass bottom and sides…and that so reminds me of the glass bridge in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. I am not sure, with vertigo, that I could manage walking this thing.
George Bush’s Holodeck Program
Brad De Long links us to a couple of things, including a David Brin post which jokingly suggests that the real explanation for the world as it is is a holodeck program for George W. Bush.
If that’s true, though, is the Libby case a glitch, or one of those setbacks designed so that the “Game” is not TOO easy?

The sendoff to the late Wellington Mara was, in the end, a rout of the Redskins. Sure, neither team’s quarterbacking was any good…but, Tiki, Tiki, Tiki was all the Giants needed.
And with the Broncos winning, for a week at least, my beloved Boys in Blue are all alone in first in the NFC East.
