Did Kerry Use a Cheat Sheet?

mrbrown1602 writes "The Drudge Report is reporting that repeated viewing of video from the first Presidential Debate shows Senator John Kerry reaching into his coat pocket for what looks like to be a piece of paper, and he proceeds to unfold it on the lectern. According to the rules set by the Commission on Presidential Debates, candidates are not allowed to bring anything with them on stage (even something as simple as a pen, which is what Kerry's people says it was), and everything they may need (water, tissues, pens, etc.) are provided at the lectern. So what DID Senator Kerry bring out there, anyways?" There's also a QuickTime movie.

    And with a detached member. Like that "detachable penis" song by king missle.

    Methinks a lot of people have put too much thought into attack kerry and bush today on "debate cheating" issues. Obviously someone would have seen Kerry do that if the camera could.

    The related ear-piece bush story was equally as moronic.

    Nobody has been able to shoot down a single fact in the movie. It's very easy to take issue with how the facts are presented, but not the facts themselves. So sorry. Thank you for playing.

    The biggest thing I took away from moore's film was that we kiss Saudi Arabia's ass. They attacked our country, but we didn't do anything about it because they are very tight with our President's family. We let the real criminals get away and deflected the blame to Iraq. They they tried to block the 9/11 commision investigation, and ended up blocking 32 pages of content on Saudi Arabia anyway. If you don't think, in the very least, that something extremely fishy is going on you need to seriously rethink how much you care about your Country. Who CARES when the FBI helped 200+ Saudi's fly out of the country after 9/11. The real question is WHY THE FUCK DID THEY DO IT. When 15 hiijackers are from Saudi Arabia, and the guy that organized it all is from Saudi Arabia, it just MIGHT be possible you look the other way when Saudi Arabia OWNS 7 percent of the United States. They can't very well come out and say that now can they. There's a reason "Bandar Bush" has his own Secret Service detail.

    When I watch the news and just today the new line from the whitehouse is:

    "Ok, Ok, we finally admit it. There were no WMD in Iraq and there was no connection with Iraq and 9/11 so now the war was about THE FOOD FOR OIL PROGRAM" I wonder how many people are still buying it.

    That's 4 different justifications for attacking a sovereign nation is a very short amount of time. And I freaking HATE moore. That doesn't mean I'm going to walk around with my fucking eyes closed. Sorry for the rant, but this shit is getting really fucking old. Get your God damn fingers out of your fucking ears and the blinders off before it's too late.

    Looks like the editors updated Slashdot's Homepage preferences. I don't recall seeing "Sections All Best None" when I tweaked my settings last week.

    This morning my homepage was very different then I left it last night. There were slashboxes that I never subscribed to (Freshmeat, among others); and I hitting the 'Up Close Down' buttons failed to do anything.

    I suspect a bug is in the new code.
