I know you already voted @Bill_McKinley, but you should remember that you can always cast a blank ballot. I learned this from @zin. You can register to vote and be counted yet vote for no one, which to me is a more compelling gesture than selecting …

I know we NEVER READ THE COMMENTS but the comments at wired.com and today.com are pretty incredible. Most people appear to be very disturbed by the whole thing; and a lot of the same joke about how Mike "must have sold his brain first." Funny (and …
