Coulter Votes in Wrong District,

The She Pundit With Long Blond Hair did a no-no last week when she voted in the Palm Beach City Council election at the wrong precinct.

She wrote down Indian Avenue as her address when she registered to vote. Her realtor says Indian Avenue is a mail-drop for the conservative pundit. At the time she registered, she had already owned her home on another street for more than three months. Yet, she voted at a precinct four miles away from her home, presumably the one that matched the Indian Road address. Here's why it's a problem:

Florida statutes make it a third-degree felony to vote knowingly in the wrong precinct. Lying on a voter's registration can cost up to $5,000 and five years behind bars....."If someone brings us proof that a person falsified a registration, we'll check into it, then refer the matter to the state attorney's office if necessary."

Coulter may have purposely given a false address for privacy reasons. Her agent said last year she left New York because she was being stalked.

The she-pundit has always sought fame and fortune. She's now learning increased scrutiny and loss of privacy comes with them. Her fame is of the notoriety type -- she's well known not for any particular talent, but because she's outrageous, divisive, and flamboyant. I can't imagine the loss of privacy for her mulitiplicity of 15 minute moments is worth the trade-off -- it seems more like a pact with the devil.

Still, I don't see her going to jail over this. Nor do I think she should. But, I can think of some funny community service projects for her alternative service.

    Ms. Coulter is allegedly an attorney. A felony would result in disbarment, right?

    She took a wrong turn on the Astral Plain a long time ago. She's the sort that'd go in for a canned hunt with dick. She's got some bird-like features. Dick's the kinda guy who'd wanna get right back in the saddle as it were... Bad Karma Canned Hunts. They'd call it a business venture. Write the whole thing off. Bring in that Emeril fella. Kick it up a notch.

    You know, I didn't know she moved into my county until I read that story... There goes the neighborhood! Not sure where Ann is licensed. She isn't in Florida.

    Florida is a repressive state when it comes to voters. Voter intimidation and bogus challenges to legal registered and eligilbe voters in Florida, particularly of black voters, happened in the 2004 election, undoubtedly suppressing the democratic vote there. I say nail her.

    The problem is that she had registered under her real name - -Skeletor.

    Why is she voting? I've heard her say giving women the right to vote was a mistake. Unless she really is a dude.

    Maybe it is lucky they don't do chromosome checks, huh?
