North Carolina's Naughty License Plates Cause DMV Trouble

CitizenSugar — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 06:00:59 -0700

ROFL, OMG, etc. So North Carolina's DMV has to get cracking to cook up 10,000 replacement license plates after one 60-year-old grandmother got clued in by her text-savvy grandchild that her standard-issue plate, contained an acronym that expresses disbelief in an explicit fashion. As in, WTF.

The DMV (Look! Another acronym in the neighborhood of WTF!) says that although they try to keep up with all the latest acronyms, this one slipped by their censors. They've offered to replace the offending plates free of charge. Oh, but the best part of this story? That they'd been using one of the WTF plates on their website as an example. They're now "trying to remove the plate" from the site.

I'm no entrepreneur, but I imagine that they could resell the turned in plates for quite a profit to those who might want a little more color in their vehicle identification? It's like those super-expensive vanity plates, or the political ones, or the religious ones, but way, way better. Would you turn yours in, or flaunt it?

Dude Punks the DMV

Most novice drivers are a nervous mess before buckling in and taking the dreaded driving exam, but not this punk. He was busy installing hidden cameras into the dashboard. A new California cell-phone law will prohibit driving and mobile talking come July - so over-the-phone convos are technically still legal. This dude wanted to push the envelope and see if he could take his calls and pass the driving test, too. Five failed exams later . . .

Look Ma! Some Douche Got a License Plate

I think grandma's renewal was long overdue, but the DMV had it coming...

Voting Case: Supreme Court Rules Against Ohio GOP

LibertySugar — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 13:00:24 -0700

The Supreme Court dealt a blow to a Republican Ohio strategy this past Friday. The Court threw out Ohio Republicans' request for Ohio's secretary of state to provide county elections boards with the names of newly registered voters whose voter registration forms do not match DMV records exactly.

The Supreme Court overturned a lower court decision to require the state to set up a chaotic system that would make it easier for officials to challenge prospective voters with mismatched info. Thus, the Supreme Court decreased the likelihood that as many as 660,000 newly registered voters would be disenfranchised on election day. And guess who one of those voter could have been - Joe the Plumber! His name is misspelled in Ohio state records!

The case reveals that whether we like it or not, voting procedures can be favored or despised by either political party. It would seem that far before elections, Americans could agree on fair, nonpartisan, rules for voting, and then be content with competing for each vote based on the issues and the candidates. Yet, in American politics, every advantage, even trying to challenge or change the rules, is pursued.

Again, I ask, who exactly at the DMV is approving these things?

Do Tell: Where's the Strangest Place You've Ever Met a Man?

DearSugar — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 11:00:00 -0700

There are a plethora of places to meet eligible men, most commonly the grocery store, the gym, or at a bar, but then there are the more obscure places like in line at the DMV or in the waiting room at your doctor's office where Mr. Right could be lurking. The key to meeting someone is always keeping your eyes and ears open while making yourself approachable. There's no right or wrong venue, so ladies, do tell, where is the strangest place you've ever met a man?
