Memo to airport security: my reflex hammer is not a shoe horn. Also, telling me that you thought it was because you couldn't see the hammer part "hidden by the electronics" does not inspire confidence in the screening process.

This is probally a little too early and I don't know how everyones financial situation is like but who wants to go on a Vegas trip?
Just putting it out there so I can gauge a general interest. Otherwise back to the drawing board for my vacation plans.

Yeah, those Connecticutians always make things awkward...
Thanks, Jess. Here's something else to keep people busy for a while: The next President of the United States, by The Big Picture. Really amazing photos.
I don't think what happened Tuesday night has quite sunk in for me.

Hey Paras,
I never mentioned that I totally appreciate your posts here. I totally use what you post here to spice up emails to my ex-step-brother who lives in Conneticut, which are, predicably, awkward.
They are also excellent for not doing homework. Like now.
edit: As is deciding you're going to use a Star Trek clip for your presentation tomorrow and getting caught up on YouTube clips.....

But as 64% turnout rate is a very big deal. According to this Wiki entry, turnout four years ago was about 56%, and that was considered a pretty good year. More notably, turnout was 63% in the Kennedy-Nixon race in 1960, and that was the high watermark of the modern political era.
If 64% is the final number, where would that put the 2008 race historically? According to a Wall Street Journal item, we're talking about "the biggest voter turnout in the period since women got the vote in 1920."
Canada, 2000:
Without important issues or a very exciting campaign, voter turn-out reached a record low of 64.1 per cent (corrected from initial reporting of 61.2 per cent).
Also, last night Massachusetts decriminalized possession of small amounts (less than one ounce) of marijuana. Assuming the US would like to keep the site of its favourite tea parties, I don't think they plan to kick them to the curb.
Does that mean we can please do that here, without reprisal from the States, and finally reorient our societal values about drugs towards effective solutions?
