According to the State of Washington, voter registration fraud is a felony with severe penalties.
If you knowingly provide false information on this voter registration form or knowingly make a false declaration about your qualifications for voter registration you will have committed a class C felony that is punishable by imprisonment for up to five years, or by a fine of up to ten thousand dollars or both imprisonment and fine. (RCW 29A.08.210)
However, if you commit voter registration fraud in Seattle, here’s what happens, according to the AP (via Northwest Cable News).
SEATTLE - A man who submitted phony voter registration forms in Seattle pleaded guilty in King County Superior Court to providing false information and was sentenced to 30 days of detention.
Thirty days of "detention". Does that mean he has to stay after school with the bullies and the kids caught smoking in the boy’s room?

"It’s Bush’s fault." That’s what we were hearing this week about the California wildfires. They were exacerbated due to global warming, which wouldn’t be happening if President Bush made us implement the Kyoto Protocol we were told. The disaster response wasn’t fast enough. California’s national guard troops were all over in Iraq. California’s national guard equipment was over in Iraq.
We now know that global warming had little or nothing to do with the wildfires that seem to happen every year in southern California. We now know that the Santa Ana winds that helped to spread the wildfires happen every year, and that there’s nothing unusual about how dry those winds were.
Federal relief efforts began within a day of the disaster. California has 20,000 active national guard troops and only 2,000 of them are overseas. The other 18,000 are still in California. Not only that but California actually has more equipment than they can use, both their own, and that supplied by the federal government and from other states.

911 Truthers are the poster children of deranged conspiracy theory fools.
They love to confront anyone to forward their insanity, like when Bill Maher turkey walked them off of his live show last week (strong language warning).
This week they tangled with former President Clinton, who was also in no mood for it.
Here are clips from both and as a bonus, the last clip is Bill's opinion of the Truthers from his New Rules segment.
I admit I give many liberals a bad time for their ideology, but in this case it goes to show that even liberals have their limits on irrationality. Maybe there is some hope.
