Beauty contests are beyond the usual scope of this blog, but a Facebook message this evening got me looking into the upcoming Miss USA Pageant.
The next Miss USA will be crowned June 3 in a live NBC television broadcast. To boost interest in the contest, the pageant organizers are running an online election: Anyone can vote for their favorite Miss USA contestant; the winner is guaranteed a place among the pageant semifinalists.
The Illinois representative in the Miss USA contest (shown above) is Ashley Hooks; her proud father is Cook County Circuit Court Judge William H. Hooks. It was Judge Hooks who sent me the Facebook message this evening, looking to spread the word about his daughter's Miss USA bid. "People can vote on line up to 10 times per day, per email account," Judge Hooks wrote. Voting is underway now, and continues through June 2 at noon ET. Votes can be taken at this link or on Facebook or Twitter.
Too big to fail, and too big, even, to pay attention...

We live in a marvelous age. From my computer, or even my phone, I can order
almost anything, from almost anywhere, and have it on my doorstep in a
