Suppression! Officials Try to Prevent Woman Wearing MIT Shirt From Voting | Jammie Wearing Fools
In Florida, of course, where some people are too stupid to know what MIT stands for.
A woman attempting to vote in West Boca Raton this morning was initially prohibited from entering the polling place because she was wearing a tee shirt with the letters MIT.
BocaNewsNow.com has heard from multiple sources that an election supervisor at the polling place ultimately realized that MIT stands for “Massachusetts Institute of Technology” — a school where students tend to know how to spell — and was not a campaign shirt for the Republican candidate, who spells his name MITT.
Campaigning is not permitted within several yards of a polling place.
The woman was ultimately allowed to vote.

Foreign election officials amazed by trust-based U.S. voting system
Foreign election officials amazed by trust-based U.S. voting system | The Cable
"It's very difficult to transfer this system as it is to anyother country.
This system is built according to trust and this trust needs alot of procedures and a lot of education for other countries to adopt it,"Elabbar said.
The most often noted difference between American electionsamong the visitors was that in most U.S. states, voters need no identification.
Voters can also vote by mail, sometimesonline, and there's often no way to know if one person has voted severaltimes under different names, unlike in some Arab countries, where voters inktheir fingers when casting their ballots.

Obamacare Drops Full-Time Employment
Obamacare Drops Full-Time Employment | Via Meadia
We’re still years away from the full implementation of Obamacare, but the unintended consequences of the law are already emerging.
Student insurance is harder to come by, companies are dropping insurance coverage for employees, and now they may be dropping full-time employment as well amidst the weakest economy in decades.
It’s hard to imagine this is what the authors of this law had in mind.

Global Warming Did Not Cause Sandy
Global Warming Did Not Cause Sandy - Robert Zubrin - National Review Online
Some of those decrying global warming as the culprit have sidestepped these realities and instead pointed to warming-induced sea-level increases as the culprit to blame for Sandy’s destructiveness.
However, since 1980, the sea level has only risen 3 inches, while the previous sea level rise of 3 inches, from 1940 to 1980, occurred during a period of global cooling, and, in any case, both put together are negligible.
In fact, the actual reason for Sandy’s flooding was the coincidence of the storm’s arrival with the monthly peak full-moon high tide, which raised the sea level several feet above its normal daily average.

Victoria’s Secret show tosses hurricane-relief Guardsmen out of armory - NYPOST.com
Dozens of National Guardsmen, and Army and Air Force personnel who have been sleeping at Manhattan’s Lexington Armory in between hurricane-relief shifts are being booted — to make room for Victoria’s Secret models in anticipation of Wednesday’s runway show.
About 300 uniformed personnel have been bunking down at the armory at various times since Sandy hit.
But their numbers will be reduced to 60 by Wednesday for the event, which is featuring Rihanna and Justin Bieber.

What if Mitt Romney wins on 6 November?
What if Mitt Romney wins on 6 November?
Romney has said he would be happy to sign a law making all abortion illegal in all circumstances, including cases of rape and incest and when the procedure is necessary to protect a mother’s health.
If that were to happen, Mexico and Canada (perhaps the UK, too) would become medical refugee destinations for those who can afford the air fare.
American women who travel abroad to abort can expect to be arrested for murder on their return.
Into the mind of liberals.....

Long time coming: North Korea's 'Hotel of Doom' to finally open 26 years after construction first began
Long time coming: North Korea's 'Hotel of Doom' to finally open 26 years after construction first began | Mail Online
The enormous structure dubbed the 'Hotel of Doom' has been a source of fascination and ridicule around the world and an oversized embarrassment for North Korea's authoritarian regime led by the Korean Workers' Party.
North Korea began building the Ryugyong in the 1980s but stopped when North Korea suffered an economic crisis and funding ran out in the 1990s.
It was voted 'Worst Building in the History of Mankind' by Esquire magazine in 2008, which described the Ryugyong as 'hideously ugly, even by communist standards'.

Among the worst of those stereotypes is that unions foment violence.
One speaker at this union-sponsored event featured in the video, a fellow named Bill Webster, describes his first day at the Fisher Body plant in Kalamazoo years ago, when a co-worker "encouraged" his participation in a work slowdown by threatening to have his legs broken if he didn’t.

FIVE REASONS FOR THE POST-SANDY GASOLINE SHORTAGE
Instapundit » Blog Archive » FIVE REASONS FOR THE POST-SANDY GASOLINE SHORTAGE
All real, but leaves out the distorting effect of price controls.
And here’s something it seems like Chris Christie should’ve waived somehow: “New Jersey is the only state with mandatory full-service at gas stations (you can’t pump your own gas even if you want to). While this minor inconvenience is usually offset by New Jersey’s lower gas prices, the influx of customers means that gas stations are struggling to keep all their pumps manned, which slows down long lines even more.”
Especially because if you can’t charge more for gas, you can’t hire more people to man the pumps without losing money.
UPDATE: Dave Kirkham emails: “You can’t pump your own gas in Oregon either.” I did not know that.

First Amendment, French Style
PJ Media » First Amendment, French Style
There was a quick report on the impending U.S. presidential election.
“Yesterday, we followed Barack Obama’s campaign,” a young woman said.
“Today we turn to Mitt Romney’s campaign.”
All right. Except that “following Romney’s campaign” amounted, incredibly, to an interview with a certain Dr. Gordon, who explained that most Americans were grateful to President Obama for having introduced Obamacare.
Especially those women who otherwise would have been deprived of any access to birth control. Some journalist at RTL then explained that Romney would abolish Obamacare.
And the report was over.
Most listeners, I am afraid, just swallowed the story whole and didn’t even understand there was something problematic about it.
The bottom line, indeed, is that almost everybody in France is convinced that Obama is good and Romney is bad.
This explains a lot. Read it all.

FEMA Taps Private Vendors to Meet Sandy Victim's Needs
FEMA Taps Private Vendors to Meet Sandy Victim's Needs
In fact, the agency appears to have been completely unprepared to distribute bottled water to Hurricane Sandy victims when the storm hit this Monday. I
n contrast to its stated policy, FEMA failed to have any meaningful supplies of bottled water -- or any other supplies, for that matter -- stored in nearby facilities as it had proclaimed it would on its website. This was the case despite several days advance warning of the impending storm.
FEMA only began to solicit bids for vendors to provide bottled water for distribution to Hurricane Sandy victims on Friday, sending out a solicitation request for 2.3 million gallons of bottled water at the FedBizOpps.gov website.
Bidding closed at 4:30 pm eastern.

Last Dance
By Mark Steyn
Yesterday was apparently National Dance For Obama Day.
In Manhattan it attracted all of twelve dancers .
Of course, New York has been devastated by Hurricane Bloomberg, but the attendance in undevastated cities was not much better.
Still, I was sorry to miss it, having spent the last six weeks working on my interpretative dance of the Benghazi attack including an extended seven-hour coolly sensuous samba of the President deciding not to decide to do anything.
By the way, for any members of the Obama Youth Dancers reading this, tomorrow is National Hokey-Pokey For The National Debt Day.
Timmy Geithner will put a US Treasury Bond in, Ben Bernanke will put it out, and unionized pom-pom heavies from the SEIU will shake it all about.
Meet outside the Federal Reserve, 11am.

An Unpredictable End to a Very Predictable Election
An Unpredictable End to a Very Predictable Election - Rasmussen Reports™
Eight states, with a total of 95 Electoral College votes, remain toss-ups and will determine the winner: Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin.
All eight of those states were carried by Obama in 2008.
Florida and Virginia are absolute must-win states for the Romney campaign.
If the president wins either, the election will be his.
It is quite reasonable to think the challenger can win these states but far from a sure thing.
