Honolulu just conducted our nation's first all-digital election.
This is so cool.
No voting booths, people cast their votes online or by phone.
Everyone here at 'Late Night' would like to congratulate Honolulu's new mayor, a piano playing cat.

And I Quote
The other day Bush gave a speech at a graduating high school class.
He told them he finds not being president liberating.
Agreed.
He told the kids he now finds himself walking the dog and picking up poop.
Finally, something he can actually find.
He couldn't find Osama, he couldn't find the WMDs.
If only we were attacked by dog shit on 9-11, we would've been OK.

This Is Where All The Gov't Leaks Are Coming From
Along with prosecuting terrorists, racketeers, and drug traffickers, the Department of Justice is seeking to combat another kind of pernicious criminality: felony elevator urination.A Michigan man was actually named yesterday in a U.S. District Court complaint charging him with urinating in the freight elevator of an Internal Revenue Service building in Detroit. According to the document, Michael Hicks relieved himself in the lift "on numerous occasions" in late-2007 (to catch the urinator, a federal agent installed surveillance cameras in two freight elevators).
When confronted by a investigator, Hicks, then an IRS contract employee, "admitted to frequently urinating" in one of the elevators. "He stated he did this because he felt he could get away with it," wrote Special Agent Delmaria Scott in the complaint, a copy of which you'll find below. "Hicks' urination caused the IRS to incur a deep cleaning expense of $4626.25 within and underneath freight elevator #1," reported Scott. Hicks, who was charged with damaging government property, faces a maximum of ten years in prison. Had the urination damage not exceeded $1000, Hicks, upon conviction, would have been looking at no more than a year in the can.

Daily Horoscope
Today's horoscope says:
If you become too focused on one person, you'll be cutting yourself off from great opportunities.
A variety of people can help you reach your next goal or realize your latest dream -- so why would you want to deal with only one?
Plus, ignoring all of the other folks who could be influential in this situation might seem like an insult to them.
Even if you are trying to get something romantic started, you can begin by winning over their friends.
The more the merrier, right.
