Alt-Rock Karaoke 2004 via Waxy. Indie/Hipster songs in karaoke form. These are some nice finds, but I’m more excited about the karaoke version of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’”.
Creality. This is genius - a cereal bar and cafe where employees dressed in PJs serve you your cereal exactly the way you like it, with toppings and milk and even flavor crystals for milk.
Alvin Shunned By Animal Community, Force To Wear Scarlet ‘A”. While Alvin refused to identify the father who’d abandoned him, many say he bears an uncanny likeness to popular entertainer Dale, a singing, dancing chipmunk who arrived in Hollywood around the time of Alvin’s downfall.
Abolishing the Electoral College. Another blog post speaking out against the dated electoral college. The comments are especially interesting to hear other people’s opinions on the subject. Admittedly the solution isn’t as simple as giving everyone an equal vote, but isn’t that the way it should be?
The state with the highest ratio of elligible voters to electors is Pennsylvania. In PA, there are 436,000 eligible voters per electoral voter. Thus a voter in Wyoming is worth 2.6 times “more” than a voter in Pennsylvania. Who said “one voter, one vote?” More like, “one voter, some kind of vote.”

I guess the biggest arguement is that with no electoral college the small states would be disenfranchised. The parties would only go to the big states where the majority of the population lie.
Either way seems bad.
The problem isn’t the system, it’s the people.
The system was established to appease both the small and big states in terms of population back in the late 18th century. It also makes it difficult to change laws.
Regardless what the system is like, I still believe that each voter has his or her own voice, right, and power. EVERY ELIGIBLE VOTER SHOULD VOTE!
phish is good see ya
