well, for god's sake --

the appeals court? postponed the california recall. the recallers intend, obviously, to appeal to the supreme court; but i have to wonder if the court's going to hear the case. doesn't really seem like a federal matter, does it? what in the world does it have to do with the u.s. constitution? (no, i'm really asking.)

favorite part of this story: the poll on the right, where the question is "was the appeals court right to block the recall vote?" and the answers are "yes -- punch-card ballots must be eliminated"; "no -- unfair federal intrusion in state election"; and "i can't take six more months of this". :-D

Apprently the ACLU used Bush v. Gore (or was that Gore v Bush, the mind can't remember back that far any longer) as their reasoning, so a lot of people think that SCOTUS will have reason to take the case anyway.

YOU can't take this any longer? Try living in this wacko state!

Maybe I'll vote for the 100 year old lady just for the hell of it.
