Interesting things are felonies these days, such as going to a protest and being arrested for felony tresspassing. Also, the DNA crime labs in the state are already swamped with running tests on real criminals, you know, rapists and murderers. Anyway, nice blog overall though. I've been reading it for a few months now and I enjoy it.

Finding information about the elections in New York seems to be much more difficult here than there. I remember receiving two different voting guides (one from the league of women voters) for the 2002 election. I remember being able to see a sample ballot before the election. Even the lowliest candidate seemed to have a website. That situation is nonexistent here. It's nearly impossible to find a voters' guide (The League of Women Voters has one that you can ask for or view online), and I haven't yet found a sample ballot. Why must New York strive to be California's opposite in every conceivable way? Here’s something interesting (at least to me) about the difference between Cali and NYC when it comes to voting.
