Yeah, the timing of the voter ID laws is more than a bit suspect. I'm also enjoying watching the Republican voter registration drives have the same problems that the infamous ACORN ones did, namely people who get paid per registration padding their numbers with fake registrations. Not that any of those fraudulent registrations have ever turned into fraudulent votes, but actual incidences of voter fraud are clearly not germane to the discussion. ;D And where the hell is Fox news? Shouldn't they be screaming about this and pointing to it as evidence that we need voter ID laws? *giggles*

That's awesome that you're getting inexpensive auto care and even more awesome that it sounds like your car is still in good shape.

Best of luck regulating your caffeine intake without upsetting the poor guts, and *hugs* Go serendipity!
