One last chance to vote for President Bush!
Angelenos will have a special opportunity to botch the 2000 Presidential election their own selves on Tuesday, when a dozen authentic voting machines with flawed ballots from the state of Florida will be on display from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Grove.
Time machines that will make the vote count for something will not be on hand.
It's to promote HBO's upcoming movie "Recount," naturally. "Recount" stars Kevin Spacey, Laura Dern, Denis Leary, Tom Wilkinson and recalls the battle over the famously obfuscating Florida ballots and the infamously botched vote count. (Spoiler alert: Gore lost; Bush won; America paid but good for Florida's buffoonery.) For years, conservatives told those still hacked off about the 2000 election to get over it; apparently, HBO still can't.
Can you make sense of the butterfly ballot and avoid voting for Pat Buchanan? Can you punch the ballot card hard enough to avoid leaving a dangling chad? The suspense is overwhelming; I'm going to have to sit down now.

About this blog
David Kronke was appointed Mayor of Television after a bloodless coup in 2000. Since then, he has improved infrastructure, championed greater educational opportunities and fought for reforms that have utterly erased corruption and incompetence from the television industry. Since Mr. Kronke has ascended to power, Television is a far better place.
We will DEFINITELY find a way to fuck up this election! We're going back to the olden days of paper ballots, although with a high-tech potential glitch of adding optical scan recognition. This is going to be great for all those folks with glaucoma.
Plus, Palm Beach County, home of the butterfly balllot, is being "different" again. Insted of an oval to fill in, they are using an arrow. It's like they're the goth child of Florida.
