Detective Accidentally Shoots Self in Thigh

You hear stories like these from time to time.  This one inspired today’s comic.  Cops are ordinary people.

Today’s comic comes with important news, good and bad.  I’ll start with a positive swing on it.

Fans now control the release schedule of Anarchy In Your Head!  That’s right.  That handy chip-in widget to the left of the comic (when it’s not being buggy as Hell) gives YOU the power to speed up the release of the next comic in the queue.

The bad news is this is the last “free” comic release, at least for the foreseeable future.

For a more detailed explanation, read this blog post.

Ademo is Out!

After apologizing to the man in the robe, Ademo was released from his cage today. Pete Eyre and Rich Angell’s trials are scheduled for 6/27. Video to come.

Approval voting update

Since I was unable to attend the hearing for HB240 on Tuesday, I instead asked bill co-sponsor Seth Cohn about events there.

According to Cohn, the hearing didn’t go as well as he had hoped.

Secretary of State William Gardner, who oversees New Hampshire elections, spoke against the bill, arguing that New Hampshire should not be the first state to try this out, in case there are unintended consequences. (Gardner has apparently been NH Secretary of State since 1976. I don’t know how or why.)

Although he thinks passing the bill will be a struggle, Cohn added that bill supporters intend to “fight the good fight” on the House floor regardless of how the House Election Law committee votes.

Added: Approval voting advocate “Clay Doe”, in the comments, wants me to promote his informative page about HB240. It’s awesome, so I will. The Center for Election Science, HB240.
