Rush cries because the voting machine was mean to him
-Those who can't, criticize-
Right wing radio blowhard and noted drug addled gasbag Rush Limbaugh had this to say about voters confused by ballots in 2000; "A bunch of people in southern Palm Beach County and northern Broward go to the polls, and they end up claiming -- claiming! -- that they were confused by the ballot, and that they actually ended up voting for Pat Buchanan when they intended to vote for Algore."
Now Rush is claiming -- claiming! -- that the new touchscreen voting machines are confusing to use. According to the report, "On his syndicated talk show this afternoon, Limbaugh said he was trying to vote in today’s primary when the screen seemed to freeze or 'stick' on the list of presidential candidates.
"'I hit "Next" and it didn’t go there,' said Limbaugh, who lives in Palm Beach and often recounts the county’s electoral foibles on his show.
"Then he hit the 'Back' button and 'got my candidate page again with the vote already recorded there. So I said 'hmmmmm, I wonder if this is going to count twice.'"
He probably wound up voting for Hillary Clinton. (Palm Beach Post)
-Headline of the day-
"'Rocket' on school roof sparks emergency call."
An Urbandale, Iowa High school's construction caused a neighbor to call 9/11 to report a rocket on the building's roof. Not surprisingly, the object wasn't a a rocket, but a portable heater "that protects paint and drywall from cold weather during a construction project."
In the caller's defense, the heater was dressed up like a rocket with "space-age fins," "NASA logos," and the words "Saturn VII" painted on the side. The fact that it shoots fire probably didn't help things any. In explaining why the "rocket" was a heater in disguise, the report tells us, "Workers for the contractor noticed the device's resemblance to a rocket, so they decided to take the joke one step further..."
Good thing they stopped there. I think the next logical step would've been adding a warhead. (Des Moines Register)
-A God Warrior-
On his HBO talk show, Real Time with Bill Maher, the titular host had this to say about Christians, "I think it is much more likely that there could be space ships from outer space, than what a lot of things people believe. People still believe, you know, excuse me I know I may inject religion into every show but UFO’s are a lot more likely than a space god flew down bodily and you know who was the Son of God and you know had sex with a Palestinian woman."
This sent Catholic League President William Donahue in to a FOX News broadcast rage. "Bill Maher ... constantly is going after not just religion in general, he really has it out against Christians," Donahue charged. "I'm at the point right now where I'd love to challenge this guy in a ring ... preferably Madison Square Garden. I'm a lot older than he is, but let me tell you something, I'd floor him."
So, let me get this straight, if someone questions the divinity of Jesus, they have to fight you Bill? That's going to take awhile -- longer than you're likely to live. See, here's the thing -- most people in the world aren't Christian. Which means that most people in the world question the divinity of Jesus.
Stock up on the Gatorade, Bill. You've got a lot of work ahead of you. (Raw Story)
-Station note-
I skipped the roundup yesterday to hook up a new 'puter. Everything's running great, but I'm going to try networking it with my old one to make switching all my old software over easier. We'll see how that goes.
Anyhoo. Back at it now... (My Life)
