Grubulub: dirvish's Blog http://grubulub.com seriously, what's going on? Fri, 11 Dec 2009 21:08:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 Afghani Voter Turnout http://grubulub.com/2009/08/31/afghani-voter-turnout/ http://grubulub.com/2009/08/31/afghani-voter-turnout/#comments Mon, 31 Aug 2009 15:40:32 +0000 dirvish http://grubulub.com/?p=190 Part of an email from my cousin in Afghanistan:

We just got back from the afghanistan pakistan border securing the election voting sites there. There are about 4 villages there each with about 300 or so people and on the day of the election we had 35 voters because ass soon as the sun rose the taliban decided it was time to play all day long and no one would come out of their homes. Kind of frustrating sticking your neck out for these people so we can have 35 damn votes.

So based on my cousin’s rough estimate of a small sample size the voter turnout was about 3%.

The photos below are of the humvee he was driving after it was hit by an IED. Thankfully he escaped with only a minor concussion and some whip lash. Terrifying.

The man, identified as Abe Baxter Stutts Jr., 42, was ushered into the president’s office. A brief argument quickly turned physical as Stutts allegedly struck Zingg in the face with his fist, said Joe Wills, spokesman for the university.

Stutts attempted to flee, but Zingg was able to restrain his assailant briefly until university police arrived to take Stutts into custody.

Zingg sustained a minor wound, but remained at work and said he may seek medical treatment later.
