. In the middle of the movie, they went "whoa! we have no more money" and hauled in a cheap-ass director to finish up what the first guy began (sorry, don't recall names) - and so the whole business with the pyrotechnics and the ship blows chunks.
Right, and you know, they shoot movies in order, shot for shot....
Nader's failure to work with the democrats made sure that the country will be run by Republican Nazis for at least the next four years. I hope you don't need to get an abortion, Bush will make sure it is outlawed.
Heh, in this moron's fantasy world the president passes legislation...
...and buy you one if you can explain with a straight face why it's a good thing that one of the candidates is likely to win the presidency on the electoral vote while losing the popular vote.
Becuase going through the electorial college forces a candidate to have a comparitively more broad level of support across the country. This keeps "regional" candidates from winning the presidency.
Both people know this going in. They shouldn't even show what the popular vote is in the election since it is a completely irrelevant statistic. The amount of rain in Tulsa, OK on Sep 12th is about as relevant.
Yeah, but he left out the fact the Roman's used lead pipes for most of their water supplies, leading to generation upon generation of dumber and dumber Romans....
... that segments of the electorate might like. I don't see anything especially different about commutions than, say, directed tax breaks. Or changes in the law to legalise something I want to do.
Um, maybe becuase it directly undercuts the power of the judiciary branch of the government?
Or maybe because letting convicted felons out of prision is a Bad Idea (tm).
OK, I understand the logic behind not letting felons have guns, but taking away their vote?
I believe the logic behind this was to prevent candidates from promising commutions and / or lessening of sentences in order to boost their vote. America borrowed this bit of common law from the English, BTW...
Crap, guess you are right.. I work in Austin quite a bit and I just remember Nashville looking quite a bit larger last time I was there... damn statistics.
Considering how many of us in the West have Cable modems and DSL and T1 (I've got all three), you might be in for a bumpy ride, since we're going to watch your returns to figure out whether we can risk voting Green or not.
There are plenty of available airline seats from DC to Nashville, as well as plenty of hotel rooms, whereas Austin-bound airline seats are virtually non-existent (the last ones in the middle of the night are going for $1600). Plus, Austin hotels are full. This tells me the press and assorted hangers-on know that Bush will win, and want to be there for his acceptance speech
Hey, I like Bush as much as the next guy and am voting for him, but I'd like to point out that Austin is quite a bit smaller than Nashville, which may skew your "leading indicator" here.

Using a cell while driving is illegal now in quite a few US states
Only if you define 0 as quite a few.
...had a keyless keyboad too.. and that was almost 20 years ago.
'Course it was living hell to type on too. Membrane "keys" and all that...
If are aren't fucking smart enough to be able to read a fucking ballot, you deserve what you get.
I bet they will be a hell of a lot more careful next time.

We've just elected the biggest moron in the history of the American presidency!
Ah, you haven't read much history. Read up on the Grant administration sometime...
Wow, what a nail-biter. Better than the Super Bowl (well, maybe not this past year, but most years.)
Oh, and big thank you to all you Nader voters. I'll buy any one of a you a beer sometime.
Yeah, but he left out the fact the Roman's used lead pipes for most of their water supplies, leading to generation upon generation of dumber and dumber Romans....
I mean, other than an example of a software project that's gone horribly wrong, does Mozilla or Netscape really have any relevence to anything?
Ah well, they will be an interesting footnote in history if nothing else, I suppose...
The line is already been drawn, Felony = no vote. It is really very simple.
It funny the people who want to let felons vote are probably the same people who would rather die than let say, felons own guns or somthing similar.
Then again, what are the chances a convicted felon is going to vote Republican?
Hey you are more then welcome to start your own "Lets let murderers vote" campaign. I'm sure it will be real sucessful.
Of course, I think we should still have literacy tests at the polls... I mean is it right that people who can't even read are allowed to vote?

If Michael Moore things Dubya is can't read, why did he write this long freakin' letter to him?
Geez, that has to be about the worst product name in the history of the world. Shouptronic?!?
Damn, what about, I don't know, Voteometer, or Real Fast Couter, or Electromatic or something..
Shouptronic... please...
Crap, guess you are right.. I work in Austin quite a bit and I just remember Nashville looking quite a bit larger last time I was there... damn statistics.
I guess that should have said, "I like Bush a lot more than the next guy". Sorry.

Oh, grow a pair and vote your conscience.
(Us Republicans would appreciate it).

Oh, my God, people could.. well, um, they could, well, um, what am I missing here?
Why would MS want to buy a dying game platform? Answer: they won't. They ain't stupid.
Who whole point of voting is to keep the other guy from winning.
I'm proud to be voting against Gore.
Stuff like this doesn't show up on academic transacripts, so how is the college going to know?
He's going to sue to get this off his high school record? You know how much your high school record matters in life? How about zero...
