Richard Crist, James Gordon and Leslie Wallace are in custody for quote "violating federal laws."
These three MAGA officials are just the latest in a LONG LONG line of MAGA officials and candidates caught stealing ballots, filling them out for MAGgots, and submitting them as votes.
The arrests come after two other county republican leaders pleaded guilty to election fraud, Republican election commissioner Jason Schofield and Troy City Council woman Kimberly Ashe-McPherson. Both resigned from their posts and admitted to absentee ballot fraud.

In 2021, New York State Attorney General Letitia James got involved when the Rensselaer County Board of Elections decided not to put a voting site in Troy, a minority community. She won.

Hah! But no, seriously.
@<a rel="nofollow" href="http://videosift.com/member/lantern53" title="member since August 6th, 2010" class="profilelink">lantern53 knows.. that depriving servers of a living wage and forcing them to bust their asses for 5% gratuity on a $130 check.. you know, builds character.
Struggling in quasi-poverty for years of your life is what the American Dream is all about! duh.
That's why Mitt Romney is such a great American and needs to be President.
He knows what it's like.. to force people to struggle. For their own good.
p.s. - Everyone knows that raising the minimum wage is just another Socialist/Marxist scheme by Obama to disenfranchise the Job Creators in this country.
While I completely agree that people should be paid a living wage, I don't really have a problem with tipping. People should bust their asses in their job, especially if your job is customer facing. Customer service in the USA is so much better than almost anywhere else I've been, (it's particularly bad in NZ)


Just a meaningless anecdote (just find it funny that you mention it):

I went to Sydney once (15 years ago) and the very first day, I went to a place called the Juba Cafe. My friend and I were surprised to find porridge on the menu, because all I knew of porridge was from Oliver Twist or Little Orphan Annie. Our server, who's name was Anna, was really surprised to hear it, so she bought us porridge to convince us it was good. It was. Then, after we ate (before we tipped her) she invited us over to her apartment for some wine that night. When we got there, she had invited all her friends over to meet "her new Americans." They gave us wine, we talked for a long time about NZ (where she was from) and they rolled me the first "baseball bat" that I ever smoked, with the the little cardboard filter in it and everything. They also introduced me to Aphex Twin (the "Richard D. James Album") and we bonded over Ween, which I was surprised to hear they knew all about, even in 97'. So, after we were completely blitzed, Anna and her friends took us out to dinner, where we ate and drank and talked for hours and didn't pay a dime while these guys all treated us to a great first night in their city. I'm not even sure how we got home, but they sure didn't let anything bad happen to us.

The reason I mention it, is that I would say it was, easily, the best service I've ever had in my entire life, anywhere. We had to leave town the next day and I never saw or spoke to any of those guys again. I really wish I'd kept in contact with them because I owe them so much more than a night out. I still roll a fat bat and pop in the Aphex Twin on a pretty regular basis.

The problem is that Top Gear has become an entertainment programme foremost. It's no longer a show about cars. It's a show about Jeremy, Richard and James acting like kids in the name of comedy. All the big segments with them trying out three different cars together, or racing across Europe... it's all totally staged and I'm bored with that now. It's getting so silly. It's like they are trolling the viewers to see how far they can take those segments before the viewers realise it's nonsense.
I say this as a Brit. It's sad to see the show go so far up its own arse.


I dunno, I'm not sure Top Gear (as it is now) was ever really about cars. The old Top Gear with Tiff Needell and the other boring guy who like a real estate agent was a proper motoring show, and frankly, it suffered the fate it deserved.

New Top Gear is an entertainment show that happens to focus on cars. The cars themselves are only marginally more important than science is on the Big Bang Theory.

And of course it's nonsense, but it's entertaining nonsense. You can't take anything they say seriously.

Except for one thing which they are totally right about.

Toyota Hiluxs are awesome.

Ok, I own a hilux surf and I love it. Toyota, give me free stuff!

Either you're tired of Richard D James, or you've never heard of him:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_D._James_Album

Either way, it amazes me that even now I hear brand new music that copies his sound.

Your video, James Randi on Richard Feynman, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

Height of music? I dunno... Bach? Stravinsky? Coltrane? The Beatles? Morricone? Certainly not Daft Punk. They are overrated to begin with -more notable for the videos they inspire than the music itself- but now that they have a job scoring a blockbuster movie, they seem to have abandoned whatever originality they once had in favor of creating extremely generic sounding Hollywood film music. No personality. It could have been written by anyone. Boring.
They should have gone with someone unambiguously badass, like Richard D. James of Aphex Twin, or Squarepusher. Hell, you could just license stuff from their back catalogs and it would be infinitely better than this dreck, and probably less expensive.

Let me guess, you think dubstep is the height of music.


Exactly what I was thinking. Daft Punk has certainly had some catchy tracks over the years, but wow is this one boring. I haven't heard any of the rest of this supposed soundtrack, but if this is any indication...meh.

I've always wondered how a soundtrack from Ronald Jenkees would sound...especially if he could move a little away from the synth sounds he seems to favor. Most of his music would really overpower any scene, and soundtracks take a little more thought on how to finesse the music into people's ears along with what's on screen.

Carl Sagan. Richard Feynman. James Burke.
We need you guys.


Agreed. J. Bronowski comes to mind too.

Carl Sagan. Richard Feynman. James Burke.

We need you guys.

This is nothing by the way. You should hear his ambient project with Phillip Glass. I fully believe that in the future, Richard D James will be like Led Zeppelin.

... and I'll be there. To say that you only like him because he's popular.

is this the child of Richard D. James?


You're right. The stuff that Lasse Gjertsen guy does on the drums is really cool and original but this sounds EXACTLY like a good Aphex Twin song.

I saw an extra person/character come in, couldn't tell that it was a bear. Looked more like Death. Even when I was focusing on it, it still didn't look like a bear. Looked more like something out of a Richard D. James video.
