Dallas area sees mad rush of early voters on Monday

Jason Rice, says:

Why? One corrupt regime being replaced by another hopefully less -- but most likely just as flawed and short sighted one, should look about the same no matter where the line of earnest hopeful people happens to form.

I think we can learn a lot from them actually.

Chris Kidd, says:

I dont see a big problem with the picture, In fact, I wish we had lines like that in this country, at least people would'nt take the right to vote for granted so much in this country.

That being said: get out and vote already!!

Jason Rice, says:

A. Good catch GoTeamWarr -- i responded cynically, but it was an impressive catch. Were you familiar with the image or do you have a search/info scheme you'd share? (Granted I didn't chase the source and it's now gone so it may be "well, duh")

B. Yeah! Good photo Laura... and eerily similar. I'm liking her contributions lately - esp the little tutorials she's throwing out

alexander troup, says:

This is going to be a very Historic and diffrent kind of election, while it is comming in so fast, you have to almost wait and see, but people have got to get out there and vote for...............the man of the next 4 years....there again, it is going to be a party like 1999, 7 years later on.....until then. Alex Troup, Ballot Box Inspector.

Lisa Lawrence Merritt, says:

I can't believe you gave in on swapping the photo! That photo was perfectly fine to represent lines of voters.

Playing the Race Card once again and I am truly sick of it!!!

Scott Doyle, says:

Show me a nation where politics don't anger and divide. Get over yourselves.

Jason Rice, says:

France?

Oh, wait. <font size="1">nevermind</font>

Jason Rice, says:

And Lisa, if you can feel better - I assumed GTW's reservation was about the constant threat of bloody revolution that poor little Sierra Leone finds itself year in and year out. While we might bicker like crazy about these things here, it could be taken pretty offensively by - heck anybody worldly - that we'd have the hubris to compare the two. More on the irrepressible tendency here

This whole black/white thing would be solved with Snoopy as president.

Jason Rice, says:

Speaking of France.... and their great ideas.

Scott Doyle, says:

Arguing about whether a photo of people in line is PC will incite rage, I assure you.

Bigger and better things, peeps. <a href="http://www.pegasusnews.com/news/2008/oct/19/unt-students-voted-help-pay-new-stadium/">Like football!</a>

Pavel Lishin, says:

"a lot people choose not to know much about Sierra Leone..."

I resent this. There are 250 countries, each one with a history of conflicts, some more horrible than others. What country's bloody history are you unfamiliar with?

alexander troup, says:

Say monkey bean, do you see any jelly beans at the polls, while I love dough nuts an coffee, say how long can you just hang on that branch and watch this election go on by,or are you going to vote....A.T,... Hamster voter

Travis Bush, says:

just make sure to take teh meds before voting jt..

Jason Rice, says:

tx_dem41 - ya got me on that one. I swear I thought it was part of the original French West but you are indeed correct. My bad. Thanks!

alexander troup, says:

I have my Obamma and MaCain t shirt ready for one of those press events, then off to the Big Ball to celebrate at the new Restraunt by Wolf Gang Puck ...Cindies. And then a long sleep under a clean bridge after the election is over with...A.T,.. Bag Pipe Muscian for the looser.

Jason Rice, says:

Can I still hate the French?

Travis Bush, says:

jtmbls is on teh sauce again..I suspect her next break with reality will be in the polling booth where she votes straight orangutan..

alexander troup, says:

Only if they run out of salid oil, and frogs,..., a. t...h.2.o

alexander troup, says:

Monkey see and monkey do only monkey bean can tell us it is a good dream, and the vote is up to you....a.t....h.2.o

Travis Bush, says:

Extra Sauce And Sauce Teh For U!

Jason Rice, says:

Clay - you just have that affect on people. ;o)

Hope you ran and got a lottery tik on the way back.

Travis Bush, says:

on Nov. 4, voters will be asked to approve a $747 million bond package for Parkland Hospital, unanimously approved by Parkland Hospital’s Board of Managers and the Dallas County Commissioner’s Court. The monies will help fund a new 862-bed adult inpatient hospital (including a Level 1 Trauma Center and Burn Center), outpatient center, office buildings and parking. The hospital will be a public/ private partnership with the philanthropic community committing $150 million of the total cost. The hospital will also contribute $350 million of cash reserves to the project.

Travis Bush, says:

LOL Clay...you didn't exactly finish your visit to the topic with a coherent response or comment. davidwatts brought up a good point and I couldn't tell if you were agreeing or disagreeing.

alexander troup, says:

Ok lets go out and jam, as they say and do the vote thing.....but then again are you ready, I have 3 events this week, until then, big bad voter machine..for Tammany Hall, New York...A.T
