Does Redskins Loss Presage A Kerry Win?
Puny Human Nick writes "As mentioned before, the last home game the Redskins play before the election has predicted who will win since 1944. Well, the Redskins v. Green Bay game ended a few hours ago and it looks as though Kerry is going to win on Tuesday."
No it wasn't. The Florida votes were tallied several times and not one of those times did Algore come out on top (in spite of his attempts to bring focus to "dimpled chads").
Thus, Bush won fair and square.
Not to worry - this means Kerry will win just about as much as sampling rising temperatures over the last 80 years or so means humans are causing global warming. It's just a stupid misuse of statisitics and co-incidence.
I've fallen off your lawn, and I can't get up.
You know, I hate Bush, but comments like that make me want to vote for him. Almost. Are you from one of those countries that Saddam bought off?
The USA may be shit, but the rest of the worl is shittier. You criticize us from the shattered remains of your own glass palaces.
It's HUMANITY that is deeply and probably irreversably broken. No one country has any lock on that.

Everyone has seen the video tape of the explosives sitting in the bunkers in Al QaQaa from the reporters imbedde with the 101st Infantry Division.
Again, the neo-cons yell, but, but, but, why are you going to believe evidence you see on TV with your lying eyes when you can believe totally uncorroborated spin with no evidence supporting it whatsoever?
I like your sig! But how does it make sense? Bin Laden has been completely ignored for over a year. Sounds like Bush is pretty damn tough on those who attack us! Let 'em go! Attack someone else! I feel real safe under this rabid baboon.
I know more than you drink.
Man, I have been a reader of slashdot.org since it opened and I always read, just never post. But I can't believe all the liberal pinko commies on the board... Where are all the republicans?
Oh, yes, our Yankee Imperialist Bastards who have done absolutely nothing for the world...oh no wait...we liberarted half of Europe, yeah...and there's Kosovo too, a lot of that was us...and Kuwait in 1991...yeah I'd have to say we've done jack shit.
hi
The result? Show the proof first fuckbag.
Democrats only like voting rights when it's in their favor....
You think you are so superior, that if your candidate loses, it's not because the other candidate won more electoral votes, it's because other people are so much stupider than you, you know it all, and you know better than everyone else what is best for them. Even if Kerry were to make a better president than Bush, you think making it so by doing something illegal.
I know your post was tongue in cheek, but I also know that humor comes from reality, and that that thought was in your mind, and I also know that many liberals actually do feel that way. The worst part is they don't understand why it's wrong.
Stupid sexy Flanders.
The apathy of the electorate, in *not* demanding better candidates from the major parties, has gotten us into a mess.
yes. The fact that the Republicrats only have to play to the center means you must have an uninspired candidate with uninspired ideas. Gotta play to the middle.
Want democratic reform in the USA? Switch to Instant Runoff Voting. Keep the electoral college (to appease the american-democracy-is-religion masses) and Watch the Sparks Fly.
The parties have no interest in *really* fixing things, because a fixed government is..
A fixed or 'constant' or 'unchanging' Government isnt much of a Democracy. The Republicrats conspire to exclude all opposition. You yanks are in a terrible rut, and breaking the Republicrat Logjam could be an terrific "american democracy is great" bi-partisan opportunity for substantive democratic reform.... it has to come from the rank-file of each base.
one that doesn't need to give handouts. But the handouts are what buys the votes of the uneducated/ignorant/lazy.
This is ignorant nonsense. This is pure anti-gummint trash. Are you suggesting that your entire system is corrupted by simple gummint-citizen payola? I think this underestimates the issue by a order of magnitude.
This might also mean that your the pot calling the uneducated/ignorant/lazy-kettle black..? Youve reduced the problem to such simplicity because it reenforces your worldview. Its a trap.
