As a fan of professional wrestling, I get a lot of lip. People assume we're all the knuckle-dragging, white-trash, "Austin 3:16"-praising idiots they see on TV.
While I'm no genius in the area, and I try not to be an elitist, I know that it's fake. I enjoy watching two athletes execute potentially crippling moves without injuring one another. I appreciate good acting in a promo. I LOVE a good heel, like Chris Jericho.
That's why when I heard that Jericho "assaulted a female fan," I was moderately concerned. When I found out that the woman had been harassing him and her boyfriend had begun the physical altercation that led to Jericho punching her in the face, my only thought was that she should count herself lucky for not ending up in the hospital. The man trained in The Dungeon for goodness sake! You train with the Hart family and you have all the tools necessary to seriously eff someone up.
As a female who believes in chivalry and all that good stuff, I do not believe in hitting a lady. This woman, with her foul mouth and attempts to attack the Superstar while he was trying to drive off, is NOT a lady by any stretch of the imagination.
That's where I stand. Love it or hate it.
According to the Franken campaign, this is not a valid vote for Norm Coleman. You see, there are extraneous marks outside of the oval, and that may very well be an 'X' through the bubble.
"The Franken campaign challenged this Hennepin County ballot, saying the voter intended to vote for Franken, but mistakenly wrote the candidate's name in for Soil and Water Conservation District 5." More from Minnesota Public Radio.
As of last Wednesday, about 92% of the ballots cast in the race had been manually recounted, and despite attempts such as these from the former SNL Comedian, Norm Coleman was leading by a few hundred votes. There is still no clear winner, and seeing as ballots keep showing up in the funniest places... (*insert expletive that properly expresses my frustration*).
Honestly, though I may be a bad person for saying so, if it takes nearly a month to find your vote, it shouldn't count. If you can't follow directions that require you only to fill in the bubble next to the person you want in office and to get a new ballot if you make a mistake, your vote shouldn't count. Honestly, I'm against early voting in its entirety, and absentee voting should be limited to the elderly and those serving our country overseas. You can register to vote in your temporary residence with just a smidgen of forethought. Any program that is so blatantly ill-protected against fraud is not one that I want decided who makes my decisions for me.
