    I wonder if it was like real (meaning american politics, voting booth and all that) voting, in that one could put down their own candidate. It would have been funny to see JarJar get in there somewhere..

    I wonder if JarJar would have beat out RMS for votes.. they can both be equally annoying at times:
    "Yousa call da system GNU/Linux-sa?"

    However, RMS has demanded a recount in 13 counties, claiming that media bias that he is not a team player has offset the public's perception of him, and thus cost him the election.
    Reports have come from a source close to Stallman saying that he is stomping up and down his office and muttering " No? NO!?!!? I invented the fuckin' GUI!!"

    as useful as a fire hydrant in the middle of a bike trail.

    What kind of analogy is that? I'd say RMS is more of a one-legged cat trying to bury turds on a frozen lake....
