That Was One Hell Of A Holiday
Who’s up for a Hanging Chad?
Last night Obama took the Iowa Democratic caucus while Mike Huckabee took the Republican win. Question is, will things run so smoothly when the process hits Ohio? As we have already mentioned, Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner is not very happy with the voting technology in Ohio. Brunner recently issued a massive report - the type of thing your 2-year-old could sit on at the dinner table instead of a phone book, that is of course if you have a 2-year-old, don’t have a phone book, and for some reason have a copy of a report by the Ohio Secretary of State about flawed voting technology – which prompted investigation into voting machines and hopes of replacing ALL OF THEM. Well now, because things like replacing voting machines costs a lot of money, Brunner has ordered that all voters in Ohio be given the option to use paper ballots during the March primaries. Some people are poo pooing the move, calling it a step backwards, but really if the state is not willing to dish out funds to get this shit right, what other option do they have? I’m starting a pool. Are you in?
Re-open The X-Files, the Browns Need Help!
In an article that reads like it should have been published on a Browns fan’s blog, MSNBC reports that there may have been communication between the Titans and Colts that the Colts would not call any more time outs, leaving the Titans free to simply take a knee and end Sunday’s game. Tennessee Quarterback Kerry Collins told a radio station that he knew the Colts would not call a timeout. Now while this may be strange for teams to give out this info to one another, let’s consider the fact that the Colts already had the playoffs clinched. Why would they want to try and win a game that meant nothing to them and could simply lead to injuries? Also, they would have only had 25 seconds left to score, a doable amount of time, but still difficult. Still, shady things may be in the works elsewhere in the NFL. I heard one of John Madden’s sandwiches went missing just last week..
Oh, How Funny!
Leave it to Scene to have one of the most interesting year end recaps, but present it in an entirely tiresome and unfunny (is that Jena six reference?) format. They use the fake awards show format complete with applause transcriptions to discuss this year’s “depravity and weirdness” in Cleveland. Still, if you ignore the filler the article is a nice reminder of the actions of Martin Sweeny, Zack Reed (who has just left rehab), Jimmy Dimora and others, actions that elicit laughter in and of themselves.
