Still reeling from the myriad polls showing Edwards winning the veep debate...

The only thoughtful analysis of the debate on the web is, as usual, found at the Fafblog:

GIBLITS:I like the touchin story Cheney's tellin right now about the giant insurance company from the little swing state that got caught in a bear trap and woulda bled profits to death if it wasnt for real big tax cuts.

FAFNIR: I like John Edwards's persistent attempts to adopt Dick Cheney's gay daughter.

GIBLITS: There is a clear an obvious winner here Fafnir. An it is Gwen Ifill.

FAFNIR: I think you're right Giblets. She looks smart in that suit.

At the very least, it's more credible than CBS. In any case, I wonder if Dick Cheney is capable of saying anything remotely true. We've all seen the video of him with John Edwards. Now, as for the claim that Dick Cheney is "in the Senate most tuesdays," Daily Kos has a list of the senators who have served as Acting President of the Senate during Cheney's prolonged absence. Cheney has been in the senate twice in the last four years. John Edwards has been acting president twice.

That means that John Edwards has already fulfilled the duties of presiding officer of the senate just as often as Dick Cheney. Hillary Clinton has done so twice as often as either of them.

Mostly I've been depressed the last couple of days. Colorado Boy went home, and there's a big mass of buerocratic red-tape between me and the LPN program. Before I pull out my machete and enter the paperwork jungle, here's one more thing that has me depressed:



How can a chimpanzee depress me? You might well ask. Especially because I just found out I actually have a second reader. (Go, Ann!) Well, here's what's depressing. That chimpanzee is hacking a Diebold electronic voting machine.

A monkey can do it, folks. A bloody chimp. There's only one solution. The hackers of America must unite and throw every single electronic ballot in this country to pop music sensation Selena. Only when it is discovered that every single person in Florida voted for a woman who is not running for President, not well-known outside Latin-music circles and, in fact, dead, will the flaws in the technology be truly apparent.

Actually, theres a several of us reading your blogspot from the NW corner of Arkansas. Sorry, about the LPN program - hang in there - tenacity can be a good thing.

Avi Rubin (mentioned in the link to the Diebold article) appears in "Unprecedented" a very good documentary that I just saw at the Salt Lake library. Can't be accused of being a Michael Moore clone, it shows how Jeb Bush stole the FL election in 2000. I highly recommend it Guy
