Emergency!

Okay, we have an announcement coming from Mt. Willis within the next 24 hours (no, Mrs. Otis isn't pregnant again...at least I don't think she is...), but for the time being, we need your help.

A series of voting irregularities in a local contest has resulted in the rightful winner running behind and her voters being disenfranchised. With that in mind, we're jumping on the illegal voting bandwagon and asking as many readers as are available to vote in the contest before 9am Friday.

Please go to this site http://theriseguys.com/hotnewsgirl.html and vote for Beth from as many computers as you can. If you vote once before midnight, you can vote again in the morning.

PS-- Yeah, we all know this is really silly and superficial, but there is a principle involved and we base our lives on principle (and beer).

Okay.
