The Domino’s Begin To Fall (Scanlon pleads guilty, Delay goes to court)
So it seems Mike Scanlon is squealing. He has plead guilty and has started to name names.
Promising to cooperate fully in a federal probe, a former partner of lobbyist Jack Abramoff entered a guilty plea Monday to a charge that he and the lobbyist conspired to bribe public officials, including a senior Republican member of Congress, and defrauded Indian tribes of millions of dollars.
He has named Ohio republican Robert Ney, and was also a former aid of Tom Delay. Speaking of Tom Delay his ass is trying to worm out of a trial, he has already claimed that a judge couldn’t see him because he is a democrat, and now because all but one of the judges in Austin is a democrat he is trying to get the trial moved to another city, (namely his home district go figure).
With Dick and Bush trying to froth up the new McCarthyism, and the house republicans unable to rally around a single cause, its only a matter of keeping the pressure on until 2006. Then we vote all these bastards right out of office and say FUCK YOU to G W with an impeachment for war crimes (maybe).
WTF!
Seems our president didnt do much while visiting Asia. But while he was off embarrassing representing us he did manage to snap this little gem. Wtf, is everyone who voted for this guy feeling buyers remorse? I know I am and I voted for the other guy.
U.S. President George W. Bush shakes hands with ‘Albert Hubo,’ a 54-inch-tall, two-legged robot topped with a head modeled after Albert Einstein as leaders of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum toured South Korea’s hi-tech exhibition in Busan, South Korea, Friday, Nov. 18, 2005.
Something To Think About.
Will it come to this?
Zombies!
OK so its no secret zombies are awesome. That is why you should all be playing Urban Dead, do not work, don’t do your homework, because if you leave this game for more than a few minutes THE ZOMBIES WILL GET YOU! Seriously this game is crazy good. Its simple, has an active player base, lots of fun, you will find yourself waking up dead if you don’t end up in a good building with lots of barricades at the end of the day. Its just you and your trusty fire axe, don’t ever stay outside for long periods of time, you have been warned.
We Are So Fucked (electronic voting makes it easy to rig elections)
As a person who has written many a computer program in my day, i can tell you that electronic voting is a foolishly stupid and dangerous idea. Seems the Government accountability office (GAO) a non-partisan government watch dog group agrees with me. Read the report here (pdf). For more reasons to wake up screaming at night try here, or here, or here.
[C]oncerns about electronic voting machines have been realized and have caused problems with recent elections, resulting in the loss and miscount of votes.
How easy would it be to just type a couple of lines of code, and blam the person you want always wins. And with no paper trail there is no way to even confirm that the vote was even made! Even Arnold had problems with electronic voting.
