Why is it that when you go to McDonald’s and order anything followed by “and an apple pie” they always ask you how many apple pies you want?

The People Are Speaking…
…are the politicians listening?
Spotted over at The Smallest Minority, reports of a Florida Senate-critter having a survey on his website asking if people would be in favor of reinstating a federal assault weapon ban. The joke is that there were 23 Yes votes, 27 No votes, 0 Undecided votes — for a total of 1745 recorded votes.
Only in government non-reality does 23 + 27 + 0 = 1745. No wonder they have spending problems.
But here’s the thing: they fixed it. And people are voting. And this is what it looks like right now:
That’s 125 votes in favor of, 6327 opposed, and 20 with no opinion (in which case, I ask, why would you have bothered to click through?) for a total of 6472 votes.
That, my friends is The People saying, “Hell no.”

Not really news as I think I posted before about TrackingPoint.
A Worthy Cause
Check out the T-shirt at Kenny’s place.
Might have to see about finding something like that in a different color for daily wear.
