Wicked Game finals in Golden Leaf (and know your rights!)

In its first contest entered, the New Jersey Romance Writers Golden Leaf Awards, Wicked Game has made the finals in the Paranormal category! The finalists aren't listed on the website yet, but since the awards will be given out on October 24, I figured I better mention it now before I lose.

Once again, your daily voter registration nag. Below is the list of states where voter registration is still open. And at the bottom, a new video, this time a concert video of The Clash's "Know Your Rights."

I picked this video because of a story coming out of Philadelphia yesterday on voter suppression, where once again, inner city folks are being told, falsely, that voting will result in their arrest for outstanding parking tickets. (The headline, I confess, at first made me wonder why a hockey team would be involved. Maybe because of their mom running for vice president?)

Mississippi was voted off the voter registration island, since their last day to register is today, or tomorrow at noon if the clerk's office is open on Saturdays.

The blinky states close their registration roles tomorrow, so Washingtonians and Rhode Islandianianers, get your butts in gear! After you watch a nice video.

Speaking of hockey analogies, what do you call it when you go beyond a hat trick? Congrats on WG! You're amazing!

Spent the afternoon at a Bruce Springsteen concert/Obama-voter-registration rally in Philadelphia. My friend Carole actually registered at least one voter, and gave out a few absentee ballot apps. It was wonderful, with about 50,000 people there. But I'd like to think most of them were registered. I know even more people are registered now. Hey, John and Sarah, can you get 50,000 people to come to ANYTHING?
