two thoughts

1. Here is a commercial for Centrum vitamins that declares, "There's complete - and then there's most complete." Fail. 'Complete' is an absolute - either a thing is complete or it isn't - but usually I don't fuss about such things. Only lately this commercial has been driving me bats.

2. Help me out, legal types: would it create more problems than it solved to just have the damn polls open for twenty-four hours?

In our state the solution to poll worker shortages is to make elections mail in ballot. I hate it.

Yeah, I don't think that's so good. I mean - I think no-questions-asked absentee voting is a good idea (that is, I haven't been convinced that it's not), but requiring everyone to mail in doesn't please me. I can see where there are people who like being able to vote early and get it done with, but aside from all the other risks involved (security? what?), it does lead to the kind of thing that happened to people last time around who had already cast their primary ballots before John Edwards got out of the race. Boo.
