Are you sick of your Texas license plate? If so, you can vote on a new design, starting today. The Texas Department of Transportation is conducting a weeklong vote at www.txdot.govthat could decide whether Texans keep the current plate or choose one of four new designs. The new plate will come out in 2009. The four new choices:
New Texas: This red, white and blue plate features a composite of skylines from several Texas cities at the bottom and the word "Texas" in black script at the top.
Traditional Texas: This plate features blue highlights and a stark, white background with a gold Texas star at the bottom and a bold, red "Texas" in capital letters at the top.
Lone Star Texas: A white star stands out in the top left corner along with wide brushes of red and blue against a large Texas sky. A low-lying mountain range runs along the bottom.
Natural Texas: The plate is covered with wildflowers.
For the purposes of the vote, TxDOT named the current plate "My Texas."

He also kept a journal of the Joker's psychology. On one page was a list of things the villain might find funny, including "AIDS."
