Here's a little something that occurred to me this morning. It's incomplete, partly because I'd like to see what ideas it spurs in the
collective. Let me know what you all think. Warning: mildly preformatted for the wiki.

Quote:NORTH KANSAS CITY, MO.


 -- 


A North Kansas City couple has been left scratching their heads after they became the victims of a political scam.
Steve
and Rachel Larman say a strange credit card charge appeared on their
statement this month -- a $2300 donation to Barack Obama's presidential
campaign. The Larman's say they don't want this to be about their
political affiliation, but they say they're not about to give the Obama
campaign any help from their pocketbook.
They said they notified Chase, their credit card bank, to report the fraud.
"(They) 
said that they had seen-they were familiar with this," said Steve
Larman. "It was fraud, they believe through telemarketing but they were
going to be doing some more investigations."
The Larman's don't
want their politics to enter into what is essentially just a fraudulent
charge. But they say that the charge involves the Obama campaign adds
insult to injury for the registered Republicans.
"They (Chase)
kept on asking me 'are you sure you wouldn't have gone to a site in
support of Obama'," said Rachel Larman. "And I repeatedly said 'Im
voting for McCain - I would not be going to an Obama site'."
Chase
dropped the charge from the Larman's card. The couple is thankful that
they caught the charge on the card, but worried that others may not see
that type of fraud on their own credit cards before it's too late.
"You
always get emails saying be on the lookout," said Rachel. "So I just
wanted to get the word out, that there's someone out there perpetrating
this against people, and to pay attention."
The Obama campaign said they were aware of the Larman's story, but did not have any comment.

I have been dealing with rendering block on the latest issue - more the story than anything else. Today I had an epiphany, which descended from the skies
with the majestic grace of a shovel to the back of the head and a medium sized stomping.

In Canada, at least. Don't forget to take the postcard that Elections Canada sent you to the poll, along with photo ID and proof of residence (a

bill with your name on it will work for the latter).

And vote for the party you really want in power, because each and every vote a party gets gives them more federal money for the next election. "Strategic

voting" sends that money to some other party - is that really what you want?

Edit: Just got back from voting - a driver's licence counts as both photo-ID and proof of residence.

I could go into a lot of detail, but suffice it to say I didn't come up with these on my own, I shamelessly stole them a long time ago from the boards.
And I finded the link. So, here you go.
