Straight from Boing Boing:

Diebold voting machine key copied from pic on Diebold site

In another stunning blow to the security and integrity of Diebold’s electronic voting machines, someone has made a copy of the key which opens ALL Diebold e-voting machines from a picture on the company’s own website. The working keys were confirmed by Princeton scientists, the same people who discovered that a simple virus hack on the Diebold machines could steal an election. Absolutely incredible and another example of how Diebold’s e-voting machines pose a great threat to the electoral process.

Will someone in a position of power please stand up and admit that these machines are faulty and should not be used in elections…EVER! They’d got more holes than Swiss cheese. Oh wait, Diebold is a campaign contributor, my bad, I forgot.

Saddam Guilty.

Saddam guilty – sentenced to death.

Well that took long enough. Of course the White House denies that his guilty verdict coming in just two days before our mid-term elections is mere coincidence. For some reason I only half believe this. It just seems a little too convenient, and now Bush is going to go on a blitzkrieg stump tour for Republican candidates. No doubt Saddam’s guilty verdict will be a major topic.

What’s funny is that they are denying any hand is his guilty verdict so that it doesn’t look like they planned it for a late election surprise, yet are going to use it as proof of the Republicans harder and tougher stance on “terror.” How can you use something that you exerted no control over? Of course most of the Ameican public won’t be able to sift through all of that logic in only two days.

Vote Quimby.

Influencing Arrogance.

This notion that the North Korean nuclear threat and the recent airing of an insurgent sniper shooting as propaganda to influence the November elections is the most absurd thing I have ever heard. I’m going to let you in on a little secret…IT’S NOT ALL ABOUT YOU!

I am shocked though not shocked that the Republicans, and it is only Republicans, playing this weak, weak card. To posit that North Korea and the insurgency are keeping track of all of the candidates in this November election and want to tip the scale one way or the other is ludicrous. Also, being that it is only Republicans that are saying this they allude to, but never actual say it, that this influence is tipped toward the Democrats winning. Following this line of thinking the Republicans are trying to subconsciously inject into the mind of the public that the insurgents in Iraq, terrorists and Kim-Jong Il all support the Democrats because they are weak on the issues that affect them. Once again the craftiness of the Republicans in power that will do nearly anything to keep seats in Congress is simply mind-blowing.

It’s not always good to be the center of attention, and believing that we are when we aren’t can be even more dangerous. Come on fellas, lose the ego, see the truth.
