Reply to ABC news calls Florida for Bush in Politics JoeUser Forums

Gosh, at 11:48 pm EST, the local NBC news affiliate was reporting on the people down at the University of Miami who were still waiting to vote!!! If those voters happen to be watching TV while they're waiting in line, might this be construed as voter intimidation? (I'm only halfway kidding too.) It just seems a bit irresponsible considering it is close (51-47% although it is 98% of the precincts), especially in light of the missing abs

Penn Jillette endorses Badnarik, Teller remains silent... Thoroughly enjoyed this headline! Yes, Grasshopper, I was a Libertarian once too, and I suppose in my heart I still am. No, I'm not exactly crazy about John Kerry (although I like him better than Gore) - but having voted for Browne in the last election, and having lived four years with the result, I felt I just couldn't do it again. I just couldn't live wit

I know that most of the world is pretty pissed off at the United States right now, and I must say rightfully so. Me too. But I don't think, until I read this article, that I could fully empathize . Even as I momentarilly led to ponder for the umteenth time how, "Fundamentalists on the other side of the world are hard to reach at best, impossible at worst," in search of empathy, I don't think it would've ever occured to me that someone in Austr

OH, you are funny AND you can write!?! This is outstanding! The lines! The phrases! The poor invalid next door, having lost everything, now lost to everyone, but still a burden, something on the neighbourhood checklist. Less to do with altruism than the fear of the inevitable stench of decomposition and the weight it brings to bear on the conscience. ... maternity wards for the mosquitoes and the diseases that saw littl

Reply to I Have Decided to ENDORSE John Kerry in Politics JoeUser Forums

This is a great article with many important points, not the least of which is my favorite: A candidate that you can't be proud that you voted for doesn't deserve your vote or your trust. . This is not only true, but also invokes a reminder of the honor associated with both voting and being voted for; it's why I'm so proud (and releived) to have a candidate to vote for this election, that I believe is honorable - a candidate that I beli
