Kerry Concedes
Wow. What a night. I was up to 2:00 am EST waiting for NM or NV to go to Bush, but it didn’t happen last night. In fact, I almost believed that we were going to go the litigation route with the provisional ballots– but Kerry is going to act statesmanly and concede at 2:00 [...]
Election Day
So, who’s it going to be, Bush or Kerry. After all of the campaigning, October surprises, debates, and everything it comes down to our votes. Living in one of the states that appears to be a lock, it would be easy to not vote– and yet it’s our duty to let our voice be heard. [...]
Reworking the system
The current voting system is broken. No longer do we have responsible people voting, but we grab each person, use peer pressure and bandwagons, and pressure them into a given place to check a box for a given man. This dilutes responsible votes and makes the election into a popularity contest more than a vote [...]
Bush vs. Kerry – Round 3
I had watched every debate, including the VP debate, in totallity live up until this one. Given the momentum in the debates, I figured Bush would consistantly do better, and since part of the strategy during the last campaign and this presidency was to co-opt democrat ideas so he could claim he got things done, [...]
Superman and Stem Cells
So, I was watching Inside Edition or something close to that name last night with my wife and they were talking about Christopher Reeve and his death yesterday. Truly the man and his family proved resolve stronger than anything seen on the screen. Who we truly are is reflected in what we are like when [...]
Cheney vs. Edwards
For a debate that not many people were going to watch, many of the people I work with (including those that said they were not going to watch!) did watch. My reaction: Vice President Cheney:Cheney’s first problem was that he didn’t really answer the first question about Bremer and Rumsfeld directly. I came away from [...]
Debates and things
There are a lot of heartening articles out there. My favorite is one from Dennis Prager. Here’s the part I like the best: Here are direct quotes from John Kerry in the debate. On staying in Iraq: “I’m not talking about leaving. I’m talking about winning.” “Yes, we have to be steadfast and resolved, and [...]
Bush vs. Kerry
Last night’s debate was long! My wife left about two thirds of the way through for bed. In my opinion, it was too long on Iraq without saying much! The other thing that debates miss is fact checking during it. What I would really like to see is a buzzer sound every time someone gets [...]
Voting on Election Day
Bert Prelutsky has an article today about voting– something I’ve been thinking around for a while. The Founders definitely wanted people with a stake in the game to be voting. Now we’ve come so far as to herd people like cattle to the polling place telling them to vote for our guy. My feeling when [...]
John Kerry and the Lack of Oxygen
I remember back in the good ole days of Sierra computer games that there were a lot of creative software titles as well as creative fake titles in games. My favorite series was the Space Quest Series which followed the path of a man who started out as a janitor but ended up the hero [...]
Taxes and Voting
Walter E. Williams has an interesting article out today. There seems to be a lot of seen and unseen gerrymandering going on. In the first place, instead of logical voting districts, representatives are able to carve out for themselves “safe seats” that will always lean one way. This clearly benefits incumbents and doesn’t allow multiple [...]
News Smorgasbord
In Praise of the Efficiency of Blogging Nothing has done more to show just how effective blogging is than this latest flap with CBS. The fact that people in the know can check up or voice facts instantly, and be self correcting, makes even the Drudge Report seem slow. In this case with CBS, John [...]
Swift Boat Controversy
In my opinion it looks as if Kerry is going to be plauged by flip flops for the entire campaign. Let alone the fact that he can’t get straight when (if ever) he was in Cambodia, now there’s a new Swift Boat ad! This ad is hard to refute, for even Senator John McCain of [...]
