Technologically clueless bureaucrats.

[I’d love to hear exactly how an analysis of the source code used to run one of these machines qualifies as “nonsense”. To those of us who deal with this technology on a daily basis, the contents of the report were self-evident. We don’t need source code analysis to tell us that programmers are lazy, […]

Bush vs. Lincoln

THE LIE-CLOCKS
A man died and went to heaven. As he stood in front of St. Peter at the
Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him.
He asked, “What are all those clocks?”
St. Peter answered, “Those are Lie-Clocks. Everyone on Earth has a
Lie-Clock. Every time you lie the hands […]

Bush and Co. Spin Factory considered dangerous.

This White House has gone beyond mastering damage control to making pre-emptive strikes that distort unfavorable information or keep it hidden from public view.

Arianna’s new web site

If I haven’t mentioned it before, Arianna has relaunched her campaign web site: http://www.ariannaforgov.com/
Very nice. Although I still think she needs a Dean style fundraising “bat” and a minute by minute update on campaign progess and statistics.

Is Dean good enough? Some progressives say yes.

[A friend who is a Dean supporter and view the Greens as “splitters” and “spoilers” sent me this. We’ve been talking back and forth about the Dean campaign and the Green Party, etc.
This is posted as an “equal time” item, since I’ve also posted some negative stuff.
Very interesting take on Dean, lots of […]

[Dean has got the big mo. going. He’s definitely put himself in the position of a national contender.

Gallup Poll Results for CA Recall Gub. Election

[Camejo runs at about 6% in one variant of this poll… straight up even with Arianna… the poll results are a bit distorted due to the presence of non-candidates in the race (Garamendi, Riordan). I’ll be watching future results, once the candidate list is fixed, closely. -Thomas]
