would turn off the spam filters on your email so that you're bathed in the shit that political advertising is, anyhow. Who do you think sees this crap? You, and Glenn Greenwalds army of angry sock monkeys scouring the interblogs for those mean evil war criminals who don't agree with your doctrine. What's that? A hundred people? Same with your dopplegangers. Oh Oh I got an email that says McCain can whip Iraqi ass single handed. Ok I wasn't going to vote for him, but now I am!!! Woopie!!!! Huzzah!
It's kind of sad the kind of teapot tempests brew on the interblogs. What otherwise trivial nonsense gets elevated to a divine struggle between the forces of the light and the apocalypse.
Today slashdot reported that California, Ohio and Florida banned e-voting and that thousands of these machines are piling up in warehouses around the country. Why not a mention of that here @ Salon? Why is there almost nothing material covered here besides whisper campaigns about the VP slot, and of course Greenwald's obsessive paranoia about being snubbed by the mainstream media?
I'm afraid that Salon doesn't even pretend to matter any longer, much less do any reporting even if it's the laziest kind. Not even that. It's just hot air and vaguely informed opinions about minutiae and personal vendettas.
