MSNBC just reported that Virginia doesn't know they're a different state from West Virginia? |
|
Am I understanding correctly?
Thousands of angry Virginia voters are calling election officials screaming that their polling places are closed...
Because WEST Virginia votes today.
Seriously?

7. This reminds me of a problem a friend had trying to buy Olympics tickets. |
|
They called a phone number to buy tickets to The Salt Lake City Olympics, and they were told they had to call a different phone number for INTERNATIONAL sales.
Because they were calling from NEW Mexico.
They even argued with the operator that NEW Mexico was a state, not a foreign country.

17. And to just stay home and enjoy MSNBCs political coverage. |
|
Does he really think that people who don't know what day to vote actually watch MSNBC's political coverage?
No, of course not.
They're watching Captain Phonesex on Fox Noise Channel playing b-roll footage of boobies.

"As democracy is perfected, the office of President represents more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their hearts desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." H.L.Mencken (1880-1956)
