The Zoo over Ambuscade Street

I spent the weekend cleaning and relaxing, which was fun. Quite a bit of anime was watching, including one show that pissed me off. In a big way. The show was Spiral, a mystery show currently being released by FUNi. I picked up the first volume and box with some DE store credit (I needed to add something to the order to qualify for a coupon), and settled in to watch it Saturday night.

It was infuriating.

( Arrr, thar be spoilers for the end of the series ahead, matey! )

I think it's most infuriating because this comes so close to being a really enjoyable show. Just...Aurgh!

Wolf's Rain, Master Keaton, and Perfect Blue made it better. Also Banner of the Stars II, which thus far, seven episodes of ten in, is my favorite of the three.

( EDIT: An Aside )

Rage. Sheer, unadulterated rage. Scroll down to "Volusia County on lockdown" to see why.

Election officials. Caught. On tape. Throwing away poll tapes. Throwing. Them. Away. This, after giving FOIA copies to auditors that did not match the originals.

This was a bit disturbing, since the employees there had said that bag was destined for the shredder. Disturbing indeed.

This goes so far beyond the problems that I expected with EVMs that I'm struggling to find words. Rage. Pure rage. Pure, unadulterated corruption, without even a competent attempt to disguise it.

Be warned - if certain things are said, and certain accusations raised, I will very likely lose any semblance of reason at this point. Just...don't.
