Donations needed for Ohio recount

Filed under: — adam @ 1:44 pm

According to electoral-vote.com:

"Once the results have been certified, which could be as early as tomorrow in some states, the paper ballots are destroyed and the computer memories are cleared immediately, preventing subsequent recounts."

"Californians will soon see advertisements urging them to help give Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and other foreign-born citizens the chance to run for president."

On the one hand, I’m not convinced that foreign-born citizens shouldn’t be allowed to run for President, but on the other hand, I’m not sure if it’s okay that Demolition Man turn out to be right.

You are fined one credit for a violation of the Verbal Morality Statute. Have a joy-joy day!

Ghost captured on film

"This is is a car advertisement from Germany . When they finished
filming the ad, the people who made it, noticed something moving along
the side of the car, like a ghostly white mist."
