Slashdot Goes Political: Announcing politics.slashdot.org

With the US Presidential Election coming up, we've had a lot of story submissions that we would like to post, but they don't fit very well on the Slashdot main page. To address this, we'll be running special political coverage between now and the election in our new Politics subsection of Slashdot. Please submit stories directly to the section for consideration. As with all sections on Slashdot, there will be stories available within that section that don't get posted to the main page, so please visit the section if you are interested in more coverage. We'll do our best to be fair with story selection. We think we can do a good job since the Slashdot editors represent a diverse spectrum of political ideologies. The discussions are up to you guys. Here's hoping the experiment works!

Maybe we can get a slashdot section devoted to finding out which is the best text-editor for coding?

Or maybe which is the best country in the world?

Personally, I think it's America.

OFFTOPIC? up yours, MOD...

How is my desire to ignore the coming FLAME WARS considered offtopic?

I bet you'll find quite a few following my lead. I have yet to learn a damn thing from any of the flameouts on /., Fark, blogblog, etc. except that the large majority of Americans are ignorant jackasses that know little of whatever candidate they support.

I play a game when I fly for business each week. Depending on what book the person next to me is reading, I morph into a supportive character.

"Dude, Where's My Country"? 'Bush Sucks!' will get you in good graces.

"Deliver Us from Evil"? 'Liberal media scum!' does the trick.

The only thing that remains true through it all, is that Michael Moore is still a very fat bastard. /please hurry and mod this one offtopic, too! Beat the rush! (heheh - get it? Rush? Rush Limbaugh? too funny...!
