While I'm glad the Federal Marriage Amendment did not pass, it's not like there was any chance of it doing so, with a 3/5 majority required to even bring the motion up for discussion. Here's how everybody voted, sorted by state. Give your senators feedback accordingly.

Meet my new wedding band, ladies and gentlemen.

I don't actually, uh, have it, because Cody and I are all poor'n'stuff, but eventually. I wonder if you could convince them to put in a diamond not owned by the deBeers people.

Damn that Audrey Hepburn movie. I am forever spoiled for any other jewelry store.

Oh. crap.

!!!!!!!!!!!

Meet the Urosevich brothers, Bob and Todd. Their respective companies, Diebold and ES&S, will count (using both computerized ballot scanners and touchscreen machines) about 80 percent of all votes cast in the upcoming U.S. presidential election.

Both ES&S and Diebold have been caught installing uncertified software in their machines. Although there is no known certification process that will protect against vote rigging or technical failure, it is a requirement of most, if not all, states.

And, according to author Bev Harris in her book, Black Box Voting, " . . . one of the founders of the original ES&S (software) system, Bob Urosevich, also oversaw development of the original software now used by Diebold Election Systems."

While I doubt there will be much of an issue in Clark County, as the machines are still ancient punch card thingies, this could be a very very big problem in the rest of Washington, as the electronic voting machines are replacing the punch cards all over the state. And Washington's a swing state too, so this is even better. Shit shit shit shit.

[edit:] I typed in the names of all the manufacturers on that list into Google. THEY'RE ALL INSECURE. *cries and packs her suitcase for Canada*

This group is for fans of both Harry Potter and George Bush.

Its a place to talk about how many of the characters in the books, and many of the plotlines go along with many of the decisions and policies of George Bush.

Did they read the same Harry Potter books I did? 'Cause I don't think the Ministry of Magic was the good people they think they are. At least that's what I think the community is all about--there's very little HP discussion, just a lot of Kerry and Michael Moore bashing. *shakes head and goes back to packing for Canada*
