I hope that the people of USA manages to shake themselves awake and turn the ship around before it is to late. Good luck friends.
Thank you. We're trying very hard.
I will be volunteering to help keep the peace at the polling places in my neck of the woods Monday and Tuesday. Anybody out there who is able to, Please do the same.
Yes. Safari 1.2.3 (v125.9) is vulnerable on my fully patched (with the exception of the latest QT, as I'm something of an uptime whore) 10.3.5 machine. The status bar showed microsoft.com when hovering over the link on Netcraft's advisory page.
And in launching Safari to check, I was reminded once more how much more smoothly it scrolls than Firefox. Damn shame, that.
I don't know if I could agree wholeheartedly with that statement.
However, We The People don't bear direct responsibility for Bin Laden's actions (yes, I realize that We, or at least people acting semi-secretly on our behalf, did enable him many years ago as our proxy in the USSR/Afghanistan debacle).
We do have a chance to remove George Bush from the world stage next week though. That accomplishment would restore at least some of our moral high ground in the fight against this schizophrenic motherfucker.
There's that old saw that the difference between Bush and Hitler is that Hitler was elected... but at least the Germans only made that mistake once.
Even I'd started to wonder if Kerry had been wrong about Mr. Laden escaping at Tora Bora, that maybe he really had been vaporized in a cave and we'd never be entirely sure.
I disagree. Dick Cheney is a very intelligent man, and while I may not agree with much that he says, a very capable public speaker. Take your liberal smears somewhere else, you damn dirty pinko!
Many people I know vote based on what those around them think. One friend in particular agrees with me on every individual issue, but is voting for Bush because it goes against her southern upbringing to vote for a liberal. So which are we discussing here, whether people are voting red or blue, or whether their world view is left or right?
Now we can safely do, umm, whatever it is that we thought we couldn't do safely while the NSA had an active internet connection. Psst, any terrorists out there need a browser with 128-bit SSL enabled?
Until recently I was something of a serial monogamist. I've since become more cynical; these days my idea of afterglow is "Okay, I'm done. Go home."
No, but seriously though, that last post was pretty funny. Hard to sense sarcasm from something that is written and not heard.
Thanks. But can you imagine a genuine Bush supporter saying the American way of life is vastly overrated? Sure, many of them may *feel* that way, but they tend not to actually give voice to the belief.
Does anyone know if Democrats are statistically more or less likely to actually go out and vote than Republicans.
All I know is that if Bush wins, I will be spending the next four years tracking down democratic voters who didn't vote and beating them savagely with a dead trout.
I guess that's yet another instance of me failing to fit into the typical left/right, liberal/conservative, red/blue stereotypes. Not only am I voting for John Kerry, I'll be spending Monday and Tuesday in Raleigh, NC helping with get out the vote efforts. Yet not only will I not buy my coffee from a convenience store if I can avoid it, I will go out of my way not to even drive past convenience store coffee.
I pay $8.00/lb. for good quality coffee beans, and I grind two cups' worth at a time then brew each cup "by hand" with a French press (otherwise known as a 'coffee bong'). Sure, it's very time and labor intensive, but the quality more than makes up for it.
So my using a French press is more of a Republican trait, huh? Who woulda thunk it?
It's far from an ideal solution (what really is?), but before you click the link to the next page, remember a distinct word or two in the last comment you read. As the page is loading, type that word (find-as-you-type is your friend).

he's less scary than Bush

Mark Twain is alledged to have said that while history doesn't repeat itself, it does rhyme.
Keeping that in mind, I find it somewhat ironic that yet another 18 minute recording has become a part of the American political landscape.
Please refrain from making 'lickable' jokes.
That is all.

Holy shit!!11!!!eleven!!!
Yes, that is totally coincidental. Wow.
My last sig was "Backronyms Are Strengthening Terrorists And Reducing Domestic Security."
A Dremel is a small handheld electric device that can be a fun way to pass the time when there's nothing better to do.
What were *you* thinking?
Making a sword out of blank CDs was harder than I thought.
Dremel: the vibrator for men.
I can't see one KKK member NOT voting for Bush
Two words:
Condi
Colin
Yeah, I suppose setting up a straight line like that is a lot like leaving your kid brother at Neverland Ranch on a Friday night.
I thought the knowing of the unknown knowns was a Rumsfeld thing? (can't be bothered to Google for it on a lazy Friday afternoon)
It is also a 'fact' that 90% of the KKK will vote for Bush, at least by your logic of baseless assumption.
It is also a fact that 'inner city welfare types' are U.S. citizens, and therefore entitled to vote for whomever they choose.
It is also a fact that felons in prison do not get to vote.
It is also a fact that you have failed to account for the non-gutless French. Who do you suppose they would vote for?
Uh, you forgot to work in a mention of France.
Amateur.

Alright, we've slashdotted the NSA!!!!!

It's a very big fish.
Someone on /. had an ex-girlfriend?

*waves bye bye to karma*
And since you seem incapable of detecting sarcasm, I'm going to assume you're one of my ex-girlfriends.

Keep that in mind next Tuesday, punks.

Every morning before work (if I'm not running too terribly late) I ask myself who I plan to vote for.
So far Kerry's numbers look very good, while Dubya appears likely to be filing for unemployment soon.
Sure, the sample size leaves something to be desired, but I feel my methods are *at least* as accurate as polling drunk expats in Paris.
