Tonight, Trey Parker and Matt Stone strike back: Hayes, also a Scientologist, is the subject of The Return of Chef!, a hastily assembled 10th-season premiere airing tonight (Comedy Central, 10 ET/PT) and written in response to the actor’s exit.

Voter turnout
ByDerekActually, I don’t really know how many people usually turn out in my district, but I figure if I blog it then I’ll have a record for next time. We were #326 & #327 in Hamburg-7 and people were still lined up at 7:30pm.

Confused by all those airline fees?
ByDerekCheck out this handy chart at RickSeaney.com which outlines all the major US carriers and their fees for everything from checking baggage to alcohol to unaccompanied minors. I didn’t even realize there was a fee for that. Of course, some parents may consider that a cheap day care.

Hooters in China….. I like them more and more all the time.
Have seen many of your photos, but I don’t really remember alot of them not to say that they aren’t good but there are a few here that have really caught my eye — the black and white tree lined pathway is amazing. I also really enjoyed the sunset skyline shot and night lites shot. Very good shots Derek from what looks like an amazing place to visit.
