     They also made clear this wasn’t a PERMANENT ban on computer voting. We’ll see.

     From this report: http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2009/03/03/europe/EU-Germany-Voting-Ma chines.php:

     Judge Andreas Vosskuhle stressed that  the court was not banning machines for good,  but said the machines used so far did not meet its standards.

   Sleep, Booman. It’s the only real cure for the flu. Don’t worry about us chickens – we’ll cluck away in your absence!

   Mix:

   • 8 oz Herbal Tea (well-heated)
   • 3 tablespoons (yes, tablespoons) of Honey
   • 2 oz Woodford Reserve

   Drink it down and say, “Nighty-nite!” – wake up all better in the morning.
