Bill O'Reilly looked into voter fraud, somewhere around 2002, he had similar results as you give here. Would be a nice slap in the face of Republicans if you replay that. He did this on Fox News in his show.

That reminds me Peter Jackson owes me $17.35 for that. 😡

Wasn't there an issue with Tesco when an accounting firm was handed a £129,000,000 fine? Is this their way to appease the cost of doing business? And the fine is tax deductable too I guess?

Making grades. I'm at 278 km now (36%), 92 km ahead of schedule, as such I'm entitled to a breather. Just passed the Palace of the winds and it didn't have a breeze for me (really hot today). Onto the 40% marker.

Bank on this Early this morning the Khaleej Times alerted me to a story (any Now we all assume that banks make all the money, but that is not the whole story. You see under Sharia law banks have ‘limitations’. …

I'm now at 233 km (30%), a little more than 70 km ahead of schedule. And as I expected yesterday, I just passed the Taj Mahal..sitting down for Ice water now. Freaking hot and soft rainy, as such I need to find hotel with plenty of shower water.
Have fun.

Now at 28%, 222km done. Here are some shots of the Chini Ka Rauza. Looks really nice. I think I'm close to the Taj Mahal now. I'll probably pass it tomorrow.
