Dave Barry on Electronic Voting

eggoeater writes "With the general interest Slashdot has with electronic voting machines, I thought we'd all enjoy reviewing Dave Barry's take on touch-screen voting machines and debating the merits of police officers carrying lightsabers."

    You're naive if you believe that iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, and you're just a fucking moron if you believe WMD were not WELL hidden WELL before our attacks on Iraq.

    Running on belief is fine when you're doing nothing important, but this is national security we're talking about. No second chances...

    ...to figure out a simple ballot.

    And because of that we have all these fscking problems.

    My wife likes him, but I've really never seen the point of his antics. This article, well, frankly sucked. It wasn't informative, and well, it had zero humor value

  4. You were probably modded down by someone... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll
    who thinks documents with a proportionally-spaced, kerned characters in a font not licensed until 1980 and coming from a secret source were actually produced in 1972 by a typewriter.

    And that person probably thinks he's smarter than average.

    Just goes to show that idiots are too dumb to know they're idiots.

  5. Ours are as crazy as theirs. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    It just goes to show you. Our religious extremists are just as crazy as their religious extremists.

    Jews like Wolfowitz, who planned the Iraq attack, want the U.S. in as many wars in the Middle East as possible, so that U.S. taxpayers will pay to defend Israel.

    A lot of Bush's followers think he is Christian. In reality, recovered alcoholics are still a lot like alcoholics. They often say whatever lie is necessary to get people to like them. Alcohol-influenced people often have a very likable side.

    Those Christians, the seriously fundamental ones, read their bible in such a way that they believe that all Jews will eventually be converted to Christianity, or be killed. They want intervention in the Middle East because they think defending Israel is foretold in the bible. Problem with this: "Convert to Christianity, or be killed" is code for "killed". The "Christians" want all the Jews killed. They blame them for killing Christ. By far the best way to get all the Jews killed is to encourage the 14,000,000 Jews in the world to battle 330,000,000 Arabs and 1,100,000,000 Muslims.

    So, Bush can be re-elected because he has put together a coalition of the crazy.

  6. Re:Use a paper absentee ballot by Dr.Zap · · Score: 0, Troll

    Then, after the elections, we'll have the Republicans sue to have the electronic voting results thrown out in all areas they lose in, aiming to have only absentee ballots counted. Once they have full control at all levels of government, they can do away with all this voting silliness, electronic or otherwise, and get back to Imperial Dynasties, as better befits our leaders.
