Oh I'm sure some tards gouged out their eyes with the marker, or tried to eat it, but that's to be expected when you make voting a right. Any way, we mark off our ovals, and, assuming you didn't vote more than once for a given slot, when you feed your paper sheet into the machine it reads it. All you see is the count of the number of sheets read in. We assume it counted what it's supposed to count. Maybe not. Who knows. But the paper + sharpie method appears to work apart from the aforementioned eye removal and/or marker ingestion.

PS: all your analogies are way way off and way more dramatic. Short story if you can build an ATM you can build a voting machine.

I'd more worried when these defectives drive to the polling place than who they vote for. I mean who cares if they vote for "Banana", "Teddy Roosevelt" or "My Prostate Hurts" if all they're going to do is mow down a dozen people in the parking lot?

Seriously if you are undecided at this point, you had an aneurysm rupture in your head.

Isn't that by definition what a battleground state is not?

Which are now about half as prevalent and half as large as they once were. And in Palin-speak, the price for a lobster is less than half what it was a year ago. So someone ask Palin how she would employ science to safeguard one of the economic mainstays of her own state?

I betchya she looks at you like a moose with its dumb fucking head caught in a fence.

This IS America. When any half retarded vaguely criminal dumb as a box of rocks wolf shooting barely graduated beauty queen psychochristian can be President AND a Talk Show Host.

If George Bush has taught you anything it's that the President is really an idiot figurehead who doesn't really do anything unless he's dragged kicking and screaming to a photo op in order blather some inane nonsense everyone knows is a lie.

Don't forget that BEFORE 911, Bush was on 'vacation' something like 18 weeks, 9 months into his first term. There's GOT to be time in their for Sarah Palin to have a paying gig on ABC. Someone call Mark Burnett.

Drive into the Grand Canyon. Don't forget to take Thelma withya.

I don't make the law, I just repeat it for you. Anything less than a 5% victory will automatically wind up being reversed by the Supreme Court. Everyone knows that.

Always has been. Wake is the second largest county in NC population-wise.

Let's go back to a pre industrial view of ALL Biology and related life sciences. Let's just try it. For 40 years. Let's unspool that spring. Who really cares anyway?

Kill him! Terrorist! I say fuck John McCain, Fuck Sarah Palin, Fuck their supporters. And there's always room in hell for the lot of them to scream in a shower of molten steel forever.

Invasive is invasive. I once had a $10/hr TSA yokel cup my balls inside my shorts, in public. What difference does it make either way whether they look at some blurry picture of you or fondle your tits in person?

My recommendation would be to implant every traveler with a microchip that can be programmed to explode like in "Escape from New York". Do something wrong, they blow up your brain from the inside. Or just shackle people to their seats.

It's all part of the super secret 30 year plan to make your virgin daughters, pregnant vessels for Islam. Didn't you get the memo?

There's more money is stealing than there is in Fox news.

Senator Obama is a Muslim Communist Terrorist who will raise your taxes

and let me add

Senator Obama is a Muslim Communist Terrorist who will raise your taxes

I'm John McCain and I approve this message.

Real Americans wade into raghead mobs shirtless killing them all in the name of Jesus, puppies and missionary sex.

anyway the argument that "We are so fucking bad at our jobs it would be criminal and dangerous to replace us", well the logic of that escapes me right now.

Really, every other TV show and every 3rd movie is now about bloodsuckers. Vampire teens, vampire cops, vampire psychics, vampire social workers, vampire rock stars.....

We get it. Now let's plunge an oak stake in its heart.

You have to go all the way up to an HTC Advantage X7501 or X7510 or the even larger HTC Shift to qualify as that. The problem is that the Advantage is nearly 13 oz in weight while the shift is 28 oz, and it costs $1,500 list. The Sony Xperia comes close at only $940 but it's still underpowered. A Lenovo Ideabook S20U is $400 and is a REAL computer with an 80GB drive and a 10" screen. It comes in at 1250g or about 1 lb more than the HTC Shift.

Hudson's in the news and it got me thinking. From nowhere to non-winner on American Idol to a Grammy, Tony and Oscar in 2 years? Somethings not right with that plot arc.

No one was making biofuel out of rice. Rice is what went super expensive this last summer.

Most of her wealth comes directly from the State of Alaska to her pocket. I heard her last year household income was a shade under $130,000 which, in the most expensive state in the US and with 5 kids is not actually 'rolling in it.' So one could conclude that a huge piece of her personal wealth is skim from the State of Alaska's coffers, or, bribes.

Demagoguery, the handmaiden of populism and big sister of latent fascism, works. Iran denies the holocaust, Venezuela screams that the Yanquis are coming to take their swimsuit models and oil. "That One" is a communist terrorist Muslim who will force your virgin daughters to have abortions and will raise your taxes to pay for gay marriages. Since when did you imagine that demagoguery did not work?
