    If that's independent news media, give me my biased greedy coporate controlled news anyday.

    Comming right up sir! You are just our kind of consumer. Double plus good for you, don't listen to anyone but solid dependable whores we pay. It's not like you need an impartial third party telling you what they think happed. Let the good folks of GE, MSNBC, Disney, and MacDonalds feed you just what does them the best good.

    Whatever you do, don't read the internal memos from DiBold's techs. Those people are no longer associated with DiBold for their lack of proper corporate protocal. They should have used Microsoft's famous disapearing ink email, instead of bathering all over the internet. Go back to sleep while they chose your next mayor, govenor, president, forgein policy and conservation laws designed to maximize my^H^H your wealth. Good night, sweet prince!

    Did you somehow sleep through the 2000 election and then forget to read the news?
