11/7    so where's that button in the back of the voting machine
        that lets me vote multiple times?  I can't find the www link.
        Please post soon so I can vote early and often during lunch.
        Do you think they'll get mad if I bring my linesman headset
        into the booth?
        \_ You need to stop blocking GOP email as spam.  It's in there.
           \_ Uh, isn't the Democratic party historically the vote-rigging
              party? Where does this revisionist history come from?
              \_ The last six years.
                 \_ Ah. Got it. So this is typical Dem rationalization here.
                    "Anyone who disagrees with us must be stupid/racist!" and
                    "We lost so the winners must have cheated!"
                 \_ You missed a 30 there.
                 \_ That's right.  Dems demanded new voting machines--this was
                    just a Rovian plot to get machines that Repubs could rig
                    more easily.
                    \- somewhat ironically handicapped access is/was one
                       the driver to electronic voting.
                       \_ Because mashing a virtual button that provides no
                          feedback is easier than punch cards with a little
                          stick?
                          \_ No, numbnuts, because electronic voting machines
                             allow blind people to have their choices read to
                             them by a machine instead of a condescending poll
                             worker. Also, it's easier to use the controllers
                             they have for EVMs than to poke holes in paper if
                             you have CP or MS.
        \_ I got it from my local DNC rep.  They had a few boxes for us
           to practice on.  We then tossed the real votes in the SF bay
           just like last time.

10/7    In practice, how long are HIGH SCHOOL transcript kept? I'm asking
        because I'm wondering if people can dig up my shady past.
        I was a bad kid.
        \_ I would doubt that they are ever destroyed. What would you
           do about it in any case? Try not to worry too much about
           things you have no control over.

11/2    California Uber Alles is such a great song
        \_ Yes, and it was written about Jerry Brown. I was thinking this
           as I cast my vote for Meg Whitman. I am independent, but I
           typically vote Democrat (e.g., I voted for Boxer). However, I
           can't believe we elected this retread.
           \_ You voted for the billionaire that ran HP into the ground
