File that story away, hopefully the real story will be bad news for many dims.

Can't believe it's the last day of April!

It is zipping by. About the third week of this month I heard that day was the last 'we' all worked to pay income tax, usually in the middle of May. This was due to tax cuts.

The butterflies are back!

Another dispute is brewing over Florida's infamous "butterfly" ballots and hanging chad - whether more than 6-million votes cast in the nation's most disputed presidential contest should be destroyed or preserved for their historical significance.

The ballot debacle delayed the 2000 election's outcome for 36 days and sparked a bitter fight between Republicans and Democrats before the U.S. Supreme Court stopped a statewide recount, giving George W. Bush the White House with 537 more votes than Al Gore in Florida.

More than two years later, the state's elections supervisors say they need the storage space and want to get rid of the ballots. [snip]

The president's brother, Gov. Jeb Bush, said some of the ballots should be preserved.

"Some should be saved for historical purposes," he said. "I don't think the right thing to do would be to destroy them all." [snip]Full story

We should definitely preserve some so we can show our grandchildren just how stupid or and careless people who vote can be.
