I sleep with a fan at night, better research that. Would this also cause drier conditions? Would these big fans be shut off completely during a drought?

I should have thrown some B.S. in there. Then people would have liked it.

If separate paper ballots are used, the election judges shall offer a ballot to each voter. If optical scan ballots are used, either a separate ballot or distinct heading may be used to distinguish the judicial ballot. Separate ballot boxes for the general elections ballots and the judicial election ballots are not required. The general election ballot and the judicial election ballot may be voted in the same voting booth." Unless some counties are still using paper ballots and did not provide a separate ballot for judges up for retention, this could hold up. But, this is 2010, this is a computer age. I would guess that all 99 counties use optical scan ballots and distinctly separated out the legislative candidates from the justices up for retention. I did not like how politics were interjected into the judicial side of government, but I don't see this lawsuit standing.

That's some nice clip art there. And this whole "Legends" and "Leaders" thing would work great for t-ball divisions. I am extremely disappointed in the B10's decision to use this as their logo, very lame.

Heaven forbid these kids look professional and have some sort of structure in their lives, because it is pretty evident in some kids that there is no structure in the home environment. Just more of the me, me, me, I want to do whatever I want mentality.

I would have figured that he gave a bogus name like John Smith or Tom Thompson to tip him off. Instead, fake the first name, give them your real last name...almost there, pinhead.

If a maintenance code gets adopted, it probably won't even affect 99% of the people in that room.
