Remedial Civics

So...why don't I have to show identification to vote? I could walk in there with a phone book at 7 am and cast a dozen ballots easily. There's no line. Not that I would, but I could. It's such an obvious loophole that could be so easily fixed, I don't understand why it exists. I'm a six-year-old. Explain.

The first episode of Survivor: Panama: Exile Island aired last night. This season the gimmick is they've split the 16 contestants into four tribes to start out: older women, older men, younger women, and younger men (more on this later).

But you know what would be even more real than Survivor? Survivor in HD. Since I picked up my first HDTV last summer, I've been gratified to find more and more HD programming available. Surely Survivor would be jumping on th...
