...it finally happened.

  :-(

Not my picture, just one I found on the web.  It's still intermittent at this point, sometimes it happens right when I turn on the Xbox, other times it'll go for an hour or so.  This timing sucks, a week before Gears of War 2 comes out.  I am going to send it out and go buy a core system.  I have been meaning to buy a second system anyway.

No matter your political affiliation, please make sure to get out and vote next week.  It saddens me to see the voter turnout numbers each year.  Many good men and women have died protecting our right to cast a ballot and I don't like to see that taken advantage of.

If you are like me and hate dealing with long lines at the polls, request an early ballot.  Unfortunately for most, it is probably too late to request an early ballot, but keep that in mind for the next election.  Mine came in the mail today and I am looking forward to exercising my right to vote.

I used to think that line had to do with the deaths of Buddy Holly, Richie Vallins, et al.  ...nope, I finally found what they were really talking about.

I am really digging this show.  They push cable limits pretty much as far as they can go, and the story and characters are excellent.  You can catch the whole series so far on Hulu, but here is the latest episode.

This is pretty much why I hate big oil, lobbyists, and why I think anyone in our government can be bought or sold.

Here are some of the highlights:
