The Joys of living in Las Vegas!

Actually, Las Vegas has been very good to us since we arrived - we got here before the housing boom and found a nice, affordable place and have settled in pretty well. Unfortunately, we are often reminded of how conservative this town is - particularly when reading the local paper, the Review Journal. They freely admit being biased towards Bush, as is evident in their "reporting". Very much of a change from LA!
Anyway, the latest political scandal out here is that a Republican group (Voter's Outreach of America) was signing up voters to register in front of stores and such. Very nice idea - very convienent! Unfortunately, any Democrats that signed up would have their registration torn up once they left! So, now a large number of people who believed that they were registered to vote are not eligible and now it is too late and there is too little manpower to admend this! Needless to say, this is extremely illegal and it is being looked into, but it is probably too late. I guess since Bush didn't win the popular vote last time, no Republican sees a problem with it happening a second time - no matter what it takes!
