Electronic Voting Machines.
Excuse my rant but seeing this video gives me a whole lot of confidence that my vote will be counted…..for the wrong person!
What's truly funny is he defends that the machine doesn't pick McCain if you vote for Obama. Okay, fine….but it still picks somebody else!!!! And why in the world would an electronic machine need to be "recalibrated"? I mean if I move my PC from one desk to another, it doesn't need "recalibrating".
And the ultimate confidence killer? After….yes AFTER….he recalibrates the machine and votes straight Republican…..it picks Nader for president! What poor excuse for a programmer came up with these pieces of faulty craptastic equipment? This kind of stuff just makes absolutely no sense when I have a $250 iPod playing EXACTLY what song I pick when I click on it out of a library of 5000 songs.
This kind of BS just kills me!

How much can I save?
Use this handy little calculator to find out how much you would save under an Obama tax plan. You can also click here to see how Obama's "socialist" tax plan compares to McCain's plan that favors the rich.

Okay. Now I've seen some crazy things done on a motorcycle but this takes the cake BY FAR! At first you won't realize what it is you're seeing.... until the car starts to pass the motorcycle. Jay, have you or any of your Suzuki co-workers seen this before? This guy has some big ones for real.
Palin as President
For those of you who have not seen this yet, it has got to be one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time! There's so much stuff to click on and see her response, sometimes you have to click multiple times to get all the different responses.
- First, click here to go to the web page.
- Move your cursor around to point at different things.
- As you pass over things, either they will automatically animate or the cursor arrow will change to a finger indicating you can click on it.
- There are MANY things to click on but here's some easy, funny ones:
- Try clicking on the 3 windows....then waiting to see who walks by outside.
- Try clicking on the two side panels on the front of the desk.
- Try clicking on the door on the left....many times.
- Try clicking on the globe on the left by the door.....many times.
- Try clicking on the red phone AFTER you've opened the window shades.
- Try clicking on the computer screen behind her and reading all the stuff that scrolls on it.
Apparently they keep adding stuff until Election day. So explore and enjoy!

Plantain to replace parboiled rice—Piggott
RICHARD LORD Agriculture Minister Arnold Piggott says the amount of parboiled rice used in this country is to be reduced and replaced by plantain. Piggott announced this during his contribution to Monday’s Senate debate on the 2008/2009 national budget. He outlined the Government’s plan to increase food production and reduce the importation of certain food items. Piggott said the current “level of dependency on imported food is, at this time, at an unacceptable level.” Dealing with the importation of parboiled rice, Piggott said: “We are proposing that some of that be replaced with plantain and that would target 6,080 tonnes on 1,216 acres of land. Wheat, we are targeting replacement by cassava and mixed crops and we are looking at increasing the tonnage there on 1,010 acres of land.” Piggott said locally produced sweet potato was to replace the imported Irish potato. Piggott said T&T imported more than nine per cent of staples and more than eight per cent of legumes it consumed. “This pattern must be changed,” he stressed. He slammed critics who say the mega farms have not been established to date. He said: “It must be appreciated that these are capital projects, which involved a medium term type of cycle before they can begin to bear significant fruit.” He added: “Preparation of land for commercial activities in agriculture cannot produce immediate results... indeed a lot of work has been done in preparing these farms to prospective investors.” Piggott said the Government was close to establishing a system of crop insurance for farmers. And he said each family in the country must move to plant at least two fruit trees in their backyards. On high food prices, Piggott said it was caused by “unnecessarily long supply chains for local produce, very unreasonable mark-ups, an inadequate production and marketing information systems.”

BrotherJamal Simmons Where Art Thou?
Oh how we are missing the man with the nifty quotes in this CNN political coverage.
"If my aunt had a male appendage she'd be my uncle."
Ah, my U.N.C.L.E. Interesting.

- Percentage of that $7.7 trillion added during George W. Bush's two terms: 58%.
Could somebody explain again what "fiscal conservative" means?
Voter ignorance - Part 2
Speaks for itself.
Money quote from a "compassionate conservative" at the 1:16 minute mark:
"She should pay double!!!"
45 Slices of Pizza. Really?
I have incredible disdain for competitive eating. Am I the only one?
Today there is a news story about the guy who wins the Nathan's hot dog contest every year. This time he has eaten 45 slices of pizza! Wow. Everyday when I walk to work I see about 5 homeless people asking for food, etc. In Haiti, mothers are making mud "cookies" to feed to their children, because there isn't anything else to eat, and no one can afford the bread in the stores, when there is any.
But yes, this dude is going to go out and consume his body weight in pizza slices.
It's like taking a full oil tanker, overturning it on your front lawn, and then going to fill your gas tank up with $5/gallon gas down the street.
Gluttony. Isn't that one of those "sins" Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt were talking about?

O. M. G.
Wuh de jail? Are you kidding me? This is a joke, right? A reality show? A TV sitcom? An extended SNL skit? Every new video clip supercedes the previous one in the amount of shock, disbelief, and utter embarassment. I mean even if you don't read, just blurt out something! Newsweek! Time! USA Today! Dude, ANYTHING is better then saying, "All of 'em...any of 'em".
See Jen's video clip posted above ^
