Prop 19, which would have legalized marijuana in California, didn't pass in Tuesday's elections. Too many voters in favor of it never got around to voting. They just stood there in the booth, reading the ballot and going, "Oh wowww!"
Our three astronauts up there on the International Space Station voted yesterday. Aren't you glad you're not in their precinct?
Harry Reid won the U.S. senate race in Nevada against Sharron Angle. They say they think Angle received only 30% of the vote from Hispanics but they weren't sure...the voters could have been Asian.

In New York, the Knicks-Magic game was postponed at the Garden last night after chunks of debris and dust was seen falling from the ceiling. Turns out it was just Charlie Sheen climbing the walls and trashing the place.

Sarah Palin appeared at a Tea Party rally in Nevada where she told her audience that Senator Harry Reid has some explaining to do over his vote for Health Reform. Using gambling rhetoric, Palin said that Reid needs to be told that the future of this country " is not a crapshoot". No, crapshoot is what you get whenever Sarah Palin opens her mouth.
