Month: November 2004

I cannot find the statistics to back this up at the moment but I heard that only 20% of 18-22 year olds bothered to show up and vote. Apparently the parties and protests are more important than their futures.

I cry out to you “this is your country! It is your responsibility to step up and knowledgably decide what type of country you wish to live in.” Put down your toys and better prepare yourself for the 2008 election (if there is one) so that when the other 80% of you are 22-26 perhaps you will take your future more seriously, study the issues, and make an effort to see this country governed instead of dictated.

Great summary on BoingBoing.

Four more years of a nation led by criminals. Dan Gillmor sums up what this means for America.

Here is CNN’s election results map

I have an idea! Let’s look at the numbers and in the states that democrats don’t stand a chance let’s move them to states that were borderline. We have 4 years to work to save America and democracy! By 2008 we should have been able to shuffle enough democrats around to fix this horrible condition of having a Republican controlled House AND Senate!

Do you understand the implications of having a nutcase sitting in the veto seat while the House and Senate are totally run by rich Republicans? Add to that the replacement of a Supreme Court Justice by the same nutball. Welcome back to the Middle Ages folks! You’ve just voted yourselves into a feudal system.

Cool video! The video is work safe but the site has some porn banners and links to adult oriented sites. The video shows a cornstarch mixture. When the liquid is vibrated different behaviors are demonstrated by blowing air into the mixture. The first example shows a hole that is formed and never collapses despite the air being removed. The 2nd example shows the interaction of 3 such holes. I would expect them to combine into one instead they bounce off each other. The 3rd (at higher vibrations) holes don’t form but fingers form from the liquid and double as they topple over on themselves. Very interesting!

I like this pledge on Instapundit.

Glen Reynolds words “…and I think that Kerry should consider whether he wants to concede gracefully or become a second Al Gore.” just get my ire. I remember the previous election. It was Bush that failed to concede the election gracefully. I contend that if GW’s brother was not the governor of Florida that these past 4 years would have been drastically different. Al Gore did the right thing and should have pushed it further!

These words by South Knox Bubba are near Pulitzer.

Media Matters has a nice presentation of how and when the television networks called a state.

A New Day!

Let’s start the day off with a PayPal donation link:

This Morning

These election results are horrible! This election is tight. Perhaps this is why I get so frustrated with people from time to time. Slightly over 50% of the people I run into do not think like I do. Perhaps it is time to move to New England or California.

Mark my words. If Bush takes this election, he will immediately start procedures to seek a third term. He is the closest thing to a dictator this country has ever seen and with near a decades time in office and the ability to appoint a supreme court justice he will make changes to America that will take decades to undo. Your grandchildren will never know the freedoms you knew.

Should we not be listening when Washington DC has only 9% of its voters decide on Bush?

“I don’t want knowledge. I want certainty.”

Yahoo has a nice election results map. I find this interesting because they are coloring in states on certain confidences. At this moment, 19% of the precincts in North Carolina have reported with 57% going to Bush and 43% to Kerry so they have colored the map red. At this same moment, 52% of Florida precincts have reported with 53% Bush and 46% Kerry so they refuse to color the state. Only 2% of Maine precincts have reported with 51% Kerry and 47% Bush so they have colored it Blue. Do the other 98% not count?!

Don’t get too stressed while watching the news coverage.

(I still see regular hits in the stats on this) I probably get a hit a day to my blog from people searching for information on “tetrafluoroethane huffing”. I don’t know if these are concerned parents or experimenters looking for instructions on how to do it safely. THERE IS NO SAFE WAY!

Live healthy, eat healthy and you will have natural buzzes that beat anything a substance can give you!

Where am I supposed to follow this ‘lectshun?!

A life without purpose is a languid, drifting thing; Every day we ought to review our purpose, saying to ourselves: This day let me make a sound beginning, for what we have hitherto done is naught!

In my attempt to save democracy, I have voted for John Kerry!

You may or probably may not have noticed that I finally placed my Google Adsense banner on my blog. Now I’m planning for my retirement! I must thank you kind souls. Yesterday I made 10 cents!!
