    There's stupid, and then there's really stupid. This fits into the second category: Apparently, the town of Tracy, California (a bit east of the Bay Area) has decided to turn 911 emergency calls into a profit center. Karl Bode points us to the news that the town now wants people to pay $300 for every 911 call. Of course, if you think you might be a frequent 911 caller, they've got a plan for that.

Instead Mccain will barely eek out a win, since he will win without conservative support he won't need or listen to us.
