Diebold Voting Machines Susceptible to Fraud

[These are very likely to be generic to any system, as is mentioned later in the article. This is just one more hobbyhorse I’ve taken up recently, as the cluelessness of the average bureaucrat, lawmaker and public policy person with regards to the inherently insecure nature of computing systems has become painfully evident.

Oliver Willis gets covered by the non-alternative media

Oliver Willis’ musings have been consistently interesting enough for me to actually “subscribe” to his site via bloglet.com… and I actually read his stuff regularly (just about the only blog I do this with)… recently, the Boston Globe covered him: ‘Blogs’ shake the political discourse (I was one of the people commenting about Dean).
What is […]

The Recall

Message Sent Through ActForChange.com on Davis Recall: Resign now!

Governor Gray Davis
Like most Greens and progressives, I do not support the campaign to recall you, did not sign the recall petition, and believe it to be a right-wing coup attempt… however, please understand that I am not happy with your record to date, and that I think almost ANY Democrat would have made a […]

A Closer Look At The “Anti-War” Candidates Of the Democrat Party

[Steve’s arguments against Kucinich aren’t particularly strong, but I think he’s right on with his fundamental point: none of these Yahoos will do anything to seriously disrupt the status quo that governs our country, contributes to the destruction of the world’s ecology, upholds the wholesale repression of most of the world’s population, etc. If you […]
