Sorry... just can't keep doing it.

Get rid of the blasted Siemen's advert and I'll come back.

Oh... and if this isn't "substantive" enough for you, then you can bite my shiny metal ass.

This is the requisit blathering of words to fill the buffer so that the diary nazis can get their yayas.

This place used to be so cool until is got to be just another place for bastards to be bastards.

So... suck it.

As reported today on slashdot, the blog of security export Bruce Schneier, and also Inside Bay Area... there appears to be a critically glaring security hole in Diebold touch-screen voting machines.

This is a hole big enough to drive a truck through and ripe for rampant vote fraud... and, has apparently been there the whole time!

Update: I just wanted to let everyone know that the campaign director mentioned below just stopped by to apologize profusely for his behavior yesterday.

Maybe he got wind of this diary and read some of the *better* suggestions... :)

--------

I live in a purple neighborhood of a blue city in a VERY red state and my neighbors are a mix of relatively silent moderates and progressives along with a good chunk of VERY VOCAL christo-fascist-nazi-bastards. I'm going to leave out any identifying particulars in this missive because I just don't trust my rabidly red neighbors to get it right.

I've had a handful of heated run-ins with one in particular (usually as a result of some action by one of my teenage boys) and the "red" side of those stories tend to spread like wild-fire through their circles until they get back to me very warped and distored. I'll admit that I usually don't handle these situations in the best possible way; I usually come off as one of those wacko liberals that they've convinced themselves don't deserve to breath their air.

Today.... we took it up a notch...

I just recieved the following from one of my Bush-loving family members; decide for yourself how warped their view is.

A few choice quotes:

But this is not a natural disaster. It is a man-made disaster.
The man-made disaster is not an inadequate or incompetent
response by federal relief agencies, and it was not directly
caused by Hurricane Katrina. This is where just about every
newspaper and television channel has gotten the story wrong.
The man-made disaster we are now witnessing in New Orleans
did not happen over the past four days. It happened over the
past four decades. Hurricane Katrina merely exposed it to
public view.
The man-made disaster is the welfare state.

Based on what looks like the same code base as Wikipedia, the LA Times is launching an experiment in editorial feedback... an editorial wiki, or Wikitorial.

If I Wanted to Control The News Media...

If I were in a position of power and wanted to control the news media... here's what I'd do. I would occasionally let slip a terribly damning story about my administration, but only if I could hold back some irrefutable proof that the story was really false.

This way, if a news organization were to latch onto it, I could simply let it build up steam and then release my "antedote" of truth... thus, clearing up any bad kharma and making that segment of the news media look foolish.

Do this a few times and eventually the reporters and editors will be terribly leary of ever saying anything bad about me at all. Once this meme is in place... I and my administration are now free to do just about anything we want, since there won't be anyone left to question our actions (since they're all afraid of getting it wrong... again). Read More
