"Yippity doo dah fuck! AOL and Time Warner, two of the world's largest producers of shoddy and biased information, today announced that they would merge together into one giganto-hugic mound of bullshit-producing crap. Look on, ye mighty, and despair!"
"...This will mean more of the same time-honored traditions of AOL such as overselling bandwidth now in the form of cable modem networks instead of telephone lines, overcharge the customer for services they don't really need or could get free somewhere else, and further make individual's computers infected with the virus of AIM, AOL 6.0, and Microsoft Windows."
I've looked for a couple days, but I can't find any hard numbers on which states are considered battleground states. Any URL pointers would be appreciated. (The closest I get are immediately outdated news articles -- no dynamically updated polling numbers.)
On the other hand, it's pretty easy to find out if your state is a swing state -- if you see DNC or RNC ads on TV, you live in a swing state. (I'm in Texas, so I haven't seen a single presidential ad.)
I'd think a better way to fight this is to have anti-WAVE highschoolers in North Carolina repeatedly call the 800 number and file anonymous reports on everyone in their school. The WAVE people will start hanging up on them after the first 10 or so, but by calling repeatedly at random times from random payphones and using funny voices, it could throw enough noise into the system to make it practically and obviously worthless. If this happens to be illegal for whatever reason, please don't take the above as actual advice to perform an illegal act. And kids, stay in school.
