But it was a week too early.
All around the country today people are voting.
But not in Oklahoma.
In Oklahoma, the first Thursday in November is election day.
But not in odd numbered years.
In odd numbered years municipal elections are held the second Tuesday in November.
Go figure.

Some new laws are going into effect in Oklahoma this Sunday.
- All members of the armed forces during times of combat will be exempt from jury duty.
- Mothers who are breast feeding will be exempt from jury duty. (No titties in the courtroom.)
- Human cloning will be illegal in Oklahoma.
So there'll be no breast-feeding combat-clones on Oklahoma juries.

Just across the Oklahoma line, the town of Wakita, Kansas, wants to build a Christian prison.
It would be a private prison. The mayor and other city leaders are all for it.
The staff would all be Christians. No Jews allowed.
Is this even legal?
Wayland University, a Christian collage, would set up a satellite campus to teach an all Christian curriculum. All prisoners would have to participate.
The idea is to reduce the recidivism rate. But given the low incarceration and recidivism rate among Jewish people, wouldn't it make more sense to get a bunch of Rabbis in there teaching the Talmud?
I'm just askin'.

New Jersey is holding a Fugitive Safe Surrender program so criminals can turn themselves in without going to jail. Violent crimes are not covered, but the amnesty does include bribery, extortion and racketeering.
There are about 9,000 eligable fugitives in Essex County alone.
Are you listening, Tony Soprano?

The Christian prison would be like a Catholic Boys school. Except for bigger people. It does border on violating the seperation of church and state. But for good reason.
Using Rabbis for teachers poses too much of a securit threat. First there is too much contraband that can be hidden on a Rabbi. At least one of the orthdox ones. The beard, the hat, the long coat. Have you ever been to NY where some of the Rabbis (I was surprised that so many were black) have hundreds of watches sewn into the lining of their coats?
The intent of these christian prisons is a very good one indeed. It will help these people find their way to a rightous life while completely embracing Jesus or they will die in the conversion process.
If you get dunked under baptismal water enough times one of those times you either drown or convert.
Either way the state wins. Fewer bad guys walking around. Tough to argue with good results.
