...Mikel Haas, director of the county's Community Services Group that oversees the registrar of voter's office, said recently that he has asked the county to buy 2,000 more "touch screen" machines because voters had to wait in line to use some machines in the November 2006 elections.
Although those elections ran with few problems, the issue of electronic voting has been a hot one with some groups, who claim that the machines could be rigged to throw elections...
Do you trust electronic voting machines?

Showtime
I'm listening to Randi Rhodes. She's going over the Republican Presidential Candidates debate.
I heard something about Hillary getting a bump in the polls after the Democratic Presidential Candidates debate.
I want to know why not one of these twenty candidates will talk about how intertwined foreign policy is with domestic policy in this country. They all act like those policies are separate entities.
I'm going to put on my Carnac the Magnificent hat and make a prediction.
Hillary vs. Fred in '08.
Pretty funny, huh?
Yeah, exept for the fact that if it does end up being like Dennis or Mike vs. Ron, they won't talk about where the real reform needs to happen anyway. In domestic policy, as it relates to foreign policy.

Stupid monkeys
Powerful cyclone hits Oman
...The Sur export terminal, which handles 10 million tonnes of liquefied natural gas exports every year, would be closed for at least 48 hours, a shipper said. Sultan Qaboos port, which handles vehicles and containers, was also closed...
...Oil prices surged above $70 on news of the cyclone in the Gulf region, which supplies one fifth of the world's oil...
US-Russia clash shadows G8 summit
Published: Tuesday June 5, 2007
You know, if there is intelligent life on another planet, and they can see what is going on on this planet they must be getting comfy and popping popcorn. They're getting ready to watch us stupid monkeys blow up our damn planet, or at the very least, burn all life giving substances right off of it.
Humans.
If they were some kind of weird experiment, the scientist in charge should have been shot.
Update: 11:49 AM 6/6/2007
I didn't read his regular Monday post until this morning, but it's perfect.
American monkeys are the stupidest of all. If I hear one more person self-righteously blather on about Paris Hilton going to jail, or bitch about the price of gasoline.
Oy.
On the other hand, if the Islamists get exclusive control of what's left of the oil, I'd just as soon shoot myself. I have no use for religious fanatics of any stripe. They are too focused on the past, and not enough on the increasingly shaky future of the planet.

Obscenity
FCC too harsh on 'fleeting expletives,' court rules
What the president said ... and what TV can broadcast
By STEPHEN LABATON THE NEW YORK TIMES
WASHINGTON -- If President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney can blurt out vulgar language, then the government cannot punish broadcast television stations for broadcasting the same words in similarly fleeting contexts
So, if the Prez and Veep want to swear, swearing is OK? Whatever, swearing is obviously no big deal to me. Jiminy Christmas, even World Nut Daily knew about the real obscenities four effin years ago:
Terror alerts manufactured?
FBI agents say White House scripting 'hysterics' for political effect
Posted: January 4, 20031:00 a.m. Eastern
And what do you know?
The protestors who never got any media attention before were right.
Randi Rhodes just had Antonia Juhasz on she talked about the Iraq war WAS the energy plan.
Think that's why Dick is so secretive about who his visitors have been?
{Yeah, yeah, I know Randi's not on the radio till 3pm here, I prefer her over Ed Schultz, I stream her.}
Dr. Jack Kevorkian never should have been in jail .
That was obscene.
The American Government's energy plan appears to have been a war.
That was obscene.
Me, fucking swearing my ass off about a "corporatocracy" marching my country right off a fucking cliff?
Pfffft.

The Propellerheads and Shirley Bassey---History Repeating
Monday morning.
I wasn't really paying attention to the debate last night.
I was fascinated with Steve Gilliard's series on colonialism
Thank you EBM at Wampum.
I did hear something about Bill Richardson on the radio this morning. There is some interesting information on him in the book I'm reading.
