McCain vs. Obama on Tech Issues

eldavojohn writes "Ars is running a brief article that looks at stances from Chuck Fish of McCain's campaign and Daniel Weitzner from Obama's in regards to technical issues that may cause us geeks to vote one way or the other. From openness vs. bandwidth in the net neutrality issue to those pesky National Security Letters, there's some key differences that just might play at least a small part in your vote. You may also remember our discussions on who is best for geeks."

Send These Clowns a Message!

from the six-v-half-a-dozen dept. Leela: Don't let their identical DNA fool you. While they might sound the same, they differ on some key issues.
Jack Johnson: It's time someone had the courage to stand up and say: "I'm against those things that everybody hates".
John Jackson: Now I respect my opponent. I think he's a good man but, quite frankly, I agree with everything he just said!
Fry: These are the candidates? They sound like clones. [He looks a little harder.] Wait a minute. They are clones!
Leela: Don't let their identical DNA fool you. They differ on some key issues.
Jack Johnson: I say your three cent titanium tax goes too far.
John Jackson: And I say your three cent titanium tax doesn't go too far enough!
Fry: If I were registered to vote, I'd send these clowns a message by staying home on election day and dressing up like a clown.

Kodos: It's true, we are aliens. But what are you going to do about it? It's a two-party system; you have to vote for one of us.
Man: He's right; this is a two-party system.
Homer: Well, I believe I'll vote for a third-party candidate.
Kang: Go ahead! Throw your vote away!

Why Bother With An Election?

by Egregious Charles

Firehand of Irons in the Fire, one of my regular reads, got this great
email from a friend.

We in Denmark cannot figure out why you are even bothering to hold
an election.

      On one side, you have a bitch who is a lawyer, married to a
lawyer, and a lawyer who is married to a bitch who is a lawyer.

      On the other side, you have a true war hero married to a woman
with a huge chest who owns a beer distributorship.

      Is there a contest here?

Sometimes, the Danes seem to have more sense than we.

As a white guy, I just want to vote for somebody who looks like me. Is that so hard to understand?

Sure no one has the patents to listen threw the whole serman and perhaps those words loose their power.

There has to be some kind of award for this one.
