Anyone know who El Puma is? Supposedly he's a latin american singing star, but anything released after 1998 doesn't easily ring bells for me...

Anyhow, he's in the line at my precinct now, waiting with everyone else...

Jose Luis Rodriguez is a Venezuelan singer and actor who has recorded many international super hits and participated in a handful of telenovelas or soap operas.

...

Rodriguez went to Puerto Rico, where he participated in Cristina Bazan along with Johanna Rosaly (no relation) and young Adamari Lopez. While there, he got his nickname, El Puma.

...

He relocated to Miami after his divorce from Morillo and soon found another romantic interest, with whom he has a daughter too.

Picking up on your earlier comments about amazingly long lines and sorry to sound clueless, but is queueing to vote standard practice in the US? I had always assumed that the pictures of long lines of voters were the exception rather than the rule (because it made for better news coverage), but looking at the comments coming upon my friends list, it sounds quite normal.

(I don't think I've ever had to wait behind more than two or three people to get into a voting booth and I don't think my polling station has ever been more than a few hundred yards from wherever I have been living at the time so the kinds of things people are saying sound very alien to me, even before you get to the concept of somebody challenging your right to vote on polling day itself.)

Excuse me while I'll jump in here. :)

The long lines today are very unusual, according to comments from precinct captains and poll watchers. I've read about some polling precints with more than a half-hour wait before the they opened. My experience was different from others, probably because I'm in a blue state (IL). We voted early, right after the polls opened and with no wait at all.

Do you know of a sidekick-friendly site with live-ish Kerry updates, seeing as I'm within a few bloxks of where he's supposed to vote? *grin* I keep looking at cnn and msn mobile, and they're not doing it for me.
