I voted today (Ottawa West-Nepean)...I had to wait in line for over half an hour. I don't think that's ever happened to me in the decade-plus I've been of voting age.

Bale definitely seemed like he forgot his wife's name...but according to pretty much every source I can find online, they've been married eleven years. So he actually forgot (or seemed to forget) the name of the woman he's been married to for more than a decade. Not sure if that's better or worse.

"The resurgence of interest in Polkaroo has taught me that I wasn’t the only person who took a long time to figure out that the Polkaroo was just the male host in a costume, which is why his voice sounded different depending on who was hosting and why the male host always “missed him again.” It’s still embarrassing that I didn’t get it right away, but at least I know I wasn’t alone."

Unfortunately, I think that his position is exactly where Scalia stands. In line 113 of the Lawrence dissent, Scalia effectively says that democratic measures are a perfectly legitimate way of determining minority rights. It's a position that's seemingly incompatible with the recognition of fundamental human rights, true, but it's one that's lurking inside a precedent that Walker cites...

Heck, if Rasmussen's own press release says that Rasmussen is trustworthy, then they must be!
