Ding dong Rumsfeld is gone! Stella couldn't be happier! This was taken at the beach this morning right after I told her the good news!
Well, the election results seem to have swayed things the Democrats way. However, I'm still very concerned about all the reports of election irregularities. I myself witnessed some very odd happenings right at my own precint in Santa Cruz. A woman who was voting using the one electronic machine available in the room kept "screwing up" and the election official monitoring the machine just kept telling her to push the yellow button to "restart".
It was my understanding that pushing the yellow button actually just meant that a new voter was voting. But I do believe it did not obliterate the votes that had already been cast. So that woman who kept screwing up yesterday? I believe she voted a total of 4 times. Not for everyone, mind you, but at least for whomever she was voting for for Governor.
Hmmm.....
I'm just not a van of the electronic voting process. Not at all.
But I am a fan of a Democratic House and perhaps even a Senate.
I'll be back with a naked picture to celebrate later today. As well as the NaBloPoMo links. But can we get one more Hallelujah?
All together now...
And let's also sing Happy Birthday to Wendee! Remember Wendee? My BFF? It's her birthday today! So in her honor...here's a naked picture of me with her on her wedding day. Which was one of the most beautiful days I've ever shared with anyone. I feel so blessed to be able to call Wendee my friend. I told her today that some days I miss her so much that I feel like I'm missing a limb. And it's absolutely true! 
NaBloPoMo links for today? How about these because Wendee now lives in Tennessee, but she's a California girl at heart:
By the way, Wendee? If you're reading? Check out Canned Tan Chic's entry for today. Flamingos are going to be extinct! I know that's not exactly the birthday news you wanted to hear. But I think you and I better stock up. Because we still haven't hung them upside down in the bathroom!
Why is it that all of you people that speak of election irregularities have never worked an election? If she voted more than once the machine would have to be reset. Voters don't see what goes on when they aren't at the registration table or in the booth so they really don't know how the process works, but yet they still think that those of us who sit there for 15 strait hours are trying to cheat them if one machine out of thosands screws up! If one Mac out of a million screws up is Apple having iregularities? Of course not, this is just a rediculous way of expressing hurt when your candidate dosen't win.
OY!

Hallelujah! Speaking of voting irregularities, HBO's special, "Hacking Democracy," is on Google Video -- well worth watching:
