Just When You Thought This Election Stuff Was Over

It looks like the Democrats cannot believe that their own people turned on them and voted for Bush. I guess some research is still necessary to uncover any possible fraud and make elections more "believeable". Some good points are broght up in this article, but I fear that there will never be an election without fears of fraud or misconduct of some kind.

Wired News: Blogs Fuel Election Fraud Fears: "Blogs Fuel Election Fraud Fears

Since the election, liberal blogs and discussion sites have been raising a ruckus over an analysis of Florida voting results that's been spreading on the internet, which shows President Bush received a much higher number of votes than the number of registered Republicans in many counties."

Gangs = Terrorists?

Here is an interesting subject. Do you think that terrorists are contacting gangs to help facilitate their needs?

I heard this concept come up on a talk show. Since California and Arizona seem to have wide open borders, it seems quite likely that terrorists can come up from Mexico and enter the U.S. "disguised" as Mexican immigrants, legal or illegal. They obtain the necessary Mexican papers and learn the language. Being that gangs operate similarly as mini-terrorist groups, it would be a logical next step for Al Qaeda.

Also, everyone in America is so complacent with the attitude of "it's been 3 years and nothing has happened" that we do not watch our security as closely as we should. Major terrorist plots take many years to develop. As I heard said, "terrorist time is not the same as American time."

Let's hope we are ready!

da Vinci, a roboticist?

I came across this in Wired. What a cool article! Da Vinci is definitely one of the most interesting historical figures. What did da Vinci NOT do?

Crazy Middle East

An AP story on Yahoo. Of course they were dancing. Don't Arabs dance and celebrate after a successful terrorist strike? This guy Erekat must be living in his own little world void of all reality. Then, again, that's what they say of me. This will become a very scarey region of the world, like it's not already.

Yahoo! News - Arafat in a Coma; Doctors Say He's Stable: "Erekat, meanwhile, chided Israel after a group of several dozen Israelis danced and sang in celebration in a Jerusalem street after initial media reports Thursday that Arafat was dead.

'I really hope that they will show some sensitivity and respect' for 'their neighbors' emotions,' Erekat told AP Radio. He called the celebration 'absolutely inappropriate.'"

Election Day Is Here!

Ok folks. Get out there and vote. I really do not care who what when and where you vote. This is a non-partisan site. (I just wanted to say that and hyphenate it because it's fun.)

I voted. Done. I had no problem with the machine, in our case a scanner. Most of the issues I saw while waiting in line were all operator error. Either the person voted filled in too many ovals or used silly check marks. The machine itself ran just fine. I think one person tried to put the thing in the scanner backwards! Oh, is that what those arrows mean?!

The most difficult part of voting today was finding the poll. The signs were small and not very well placed. Other than that, do not let the news media scare you off about how difficult it is to vote! Just do it!

Have fun.
