I don't think voting is a joke yet, but I have to admit that there are 
serious, serious problems with machines, with procedures, with voter 
registration, etc.  You would think, in 2008, that we could do much better, 
still have a paper trail, and that we could guarantee an election without 
fraud.  
How many people are like Gene, who can vote in two places, but maybe aren't 
as honest as Gene?  Are college students registered at college and at home? 
How often does this kind of stuff occur?  We don't know.

People here are already voting.  Technically, they are absentee voting, but 
they are voting.  They don't have to prove anything.  Anything could happen 
in 4 weeks.  It doesn't set well with me, for some reason.

Judith Warner's Waiting for Schadenfreude.  The comments are as good as 
the article. Warner is one of the middle class who hates/envies the Wall 
Street rich. She's lamenting that she can't feel good about the rich 
tumbling down, because she could go down with them. One commenter wrote:

"There is a class below you. Our parents lost their carefully planned 
retirements in the 90’s crash. Our siblings lost their homes and savings 
in the post-9/11 retrenchment. We are bankrupted by normal medical 
emergencies. We have never participated in the boom side of our 
country’s boom/bust cycles. As we welcome you all to what for some of 
you is evidently some fresh hell, let me assure you, schadenfreude is 
alive and well."
