Remember to get your free Starbucks
Prior to Monday afternoon, Starbucks was promoting an ad that said anyone who says enters a Starbucks on Election Day and says that they voted would get a free cup of tall coffee.
RAW VIDEO: Starbucks' Election Day Ad
Election officials for the state of Washington told KIRO 7 that rewarding voters with free coffee is illegal.
"No good deed goes unpunished," said Nick Handy, director of elections.
Handy said there is a federal statute that prohibits any reward for voting.
Starbucks' good deed can be perceived as paying someone to vote, and that’s illegal, Handy said.
"The way it is written, it expressly prohibits giving any kind of gift," Handy said.
Handy said the intent of the statute is aimed at special interest groups trying to influence who and how people vote.
To fix the situation, Starbucks had agreed to give a tall cup of coffee to anyone who asks on Election Day.

County Council.
God knows why you’d be interested but here’s her site if you’re that bored and/or want to hit her up for a little sexy cyber chat.
Not that anything a county councilor does is gonna make a real big difference on me.
I just thought I’d announce the fact that I got to vote for a chick named Seman.

I’m a semi-big fan. He’ a good deal to the left of me on alot of issues, but I truly believe he has the perfect temperment and leadership skill set for this day and age. I really, really do, and I think that’s more important than ideology. No DramaObama.
I also like McCain alot, too. He’s an admirable man for alot of reasons. I would have voted for him against alot of other opponents. Hate his foreign policy. Thought he has looked lost in dealing w/ the economic fiasco, flailing about half-assedly. Palin choice was severely disappointing.
I think most of the far left and far right will be surprised to see Obama rebuke most if not all extreme partisan moves by Pelosi and Reid. And i’ll wager that there is at least 1 if not more Republican appointments to a Cabinet level position. While he has a classic urban liberal’s heart, he is essentially a pragmatist.
Obviously, I could be way fucked in my analysis.
Conversely, I could be like Longhorn, and not at all or ever fucked…

I hate the politico scene but,
I have to say I agree with you. I respect the hell out of McCain, based on his service, but Pallin is a fucking moron, and doesn’t deserve to be anywhere near the White House.
Obama wins, and in a few years, all the racist people emailing me shit will give up and go away.

I don’t think you can answer that question in a vacuum. It would depend on how things unfolded the past 4-5 months.

The damn Prop 8 demonstrators out here in California have taken my nightly commute from 30 minutes to over an hour. They’re demonstrating at major intersections on my route home and clogging up the roads.

Here's the problem
It’s demonstrators for both sides of the Prop 8 issue causing the hold-up.
As a result, I’m tempted to write in a vote that marriage should only be defined as 1 human and their right hand.

I'm torn on the issue
I could care less if gays have the right to marry. But, I do have a problem with judges randomly overturning the word of the majority, which is the case here. The people voted in 2000 to not recognize gay marriage, and the courts pretty much told the people of California, nah, you’re wrong. That’s a problem.
To reiterate here, I’m not anti-gay marriage. Just anti activist judges.

I think that’s more of an insurance policy than anything. It is very hard to fathom that Minnesota, which has had two polls since February show any kind of McCain lead (and that was +1), is in play.

Okay, you're safe
This will be an answer to KO, too, then. My upstairs neighbors love to get home between 3 and 4am, seven days a week, open their windows, and crank up the bad music. When I’d go up there they wouldn’t answer the door, and it’s probably better that they didn’t. Working 60+ hours a week doesn’t lend itself to being woken up real late at night, night after night after night.
Anyway, you probably don’t know me. Like I said I work a lot and so I don’t get to do a lot of the events they have here, which sucks because they’re pretty good at organizing stuff.
I love living here. The lofts are really too big for one person (especially a minimalist like me), but they rehabilitated the building very well. I just wish there were more things to do in the neighborhood.
If you go to my profile you can see my website, and there’s contact info on there. I have some friends in the building but not many.

Definitely not us then
We’re dead asleep at that hour – we get up pretty early and are usually out the door by 7:30am.
We lived in the SoCo lofts before they were SoCo (we were there right when they went condo, actually) – these lofts are SO much better. I would say they’re almost too big for just two people, actually – if we weren’t both IT people with multiple computers we would have a huge empty space.
I’m not too big into the social scene here, but there are few people I usually talk to when I see them in the halls, and I have a co-worker who actually lives down the hall from me (they moved without knowing we lived here too).

Well, I think Dallas county is about 70% white
and Tarrant county is about 80%
And Dallas county has something like 20% of the population from a foreign country and Tarrant county is closer to 10%.
Money wise, I don’t think there is much of a difference as both counties have very affluent areas. But, the median income is higher in Tarrant, and the poverty rate is higher in Dallas.
