Optical-scan machines made by Election Systems & Software failed recent pre-election tests in a Michigan county, producing different tallies for the same ballots every time, the top election official in Oakland County revealed in a letter made public Monday.
Just remember: every vote counts. Just not for who you thought you were voting for.
More good news for Michigan: car sales continue to decline:
General Motors' October U.S. sales plunged 45 percent, and Ford's and Chrysler's weren't far behind, as low consumer confidence and tight credit combined to bring the industry's sales to an "unsustainably weak level" that is the worst in 25 years.
Anyone in Michigan remember a little town called "Flint"? Is it still there? Will it be in ten years? (Anyone seen Leetsville recently? Last time I drove down 131, someone seemed to have misplaced it.)
Two items of good news so I can wrap this up on a positive note. (And you all know that I make of point of doing that with every post....)
In a effort to reduce "wrap rage (and the 6,500 ER visits every year for "wrap related injuries")," Amazon is working with manufacturers to knock off the shoplift-proof packaging on stuff being bought over the internet. And a fungus has been found that turns wood into diesel fuel. Not that anything will come of it. Better to pour our blood and treasure into the sands of Iraq and burn food in our cars.
Now everyone remember to get out there and vote tomorrow. I won't be, but you must! Civilization is at stake! The survival of the human race! America's place in history! It all depends on YOU!
See? Positive and motivational! I should write a book.
