    He's on a Big Boy network now.

    Time to evolve.

      Talking of facts, I was a bit confused when Mac said that she was born when Maggie Thatcher was Prime Minister. She looks like she may be telling a few porkies about her age.

          The actress could just be playing someone 8 years younger than herself?

            Cognitive dissonance at its best. On one thread you posit that anti-voter fraud policies are a conspiracy designed to suppress genuine voter turnout. As proof, you offer the fact that voter fraud "wasn't news" until after President Obama's election. Now you argue that the very same media you trust to report genuine news...can't be trusted to report genuine news.

            The laughable thing about this news is that it really shows how difficult it is to find a real citizen who doesn't have voter ID. This woman already has voter ID. Crisis averted.

            You don't live in the real world, because if you did, you'd know that other countries like my own, Australia, also have voter ID laws. Obtaining an ID, even for a woman in a nursing home is about as difficult as arranging a visit to the nursing home from a government agency for those who can't physically leave the home. Just as nursing home residents may be permitted to vote by way of mobile voter teams.

            The plain reality is that the State should take every reasonable step to allow all of its citizens, including aged citizens who find it difficult to get about, access to ID. Which is exactly what happened:

            After stories about Cooper and others across the state, election officials ramped up their public information campaign about the new law, even opening on Saturdays to issue free photo IDs and upgrades of nonphoto driver's licenses, which are available to those 60 and older.


            Neither the local NAACP nor local political parties reported any major run-ins over the new photo ID requirement on Tuesday.

            Shock! Horror!

            A woman who was born before women's suffrage in 1920 and weathered the civil rights movement in the '50s and '60s cast her ballot Tuesday, just as she's been doing since the '40s.

Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."--General Sir Charles James Napier

              Unfortunately Americans won't do it that way.

              They could, but they won't.

                Maybe, but there were other things that gave me that impression too. In the first episode she said something along the lines of "I've been exhausted since I was 30". Given that she would have been 30 as a maximum in the first episode (set in April 2010) it seemed a bit odd to say, or at least an odd way to say it. Then it was said she was an executive producer some four to five years previously when she dated the main character - she could be an executive producer at 25-26, but that seems a bit young.
