They concluded the presidential debates last Wednesday, but not all candidates were invited. In fact, only the Democratic and Republican nominees were allowed. (Or at least that was my impression as I didn’t watch any of the debates.) There are others running for the Presidency, like these guys.
Come on now. “Who the hell are you? One bastard goes in, another one comes out.”
We’re scraping the bottom, when I start linking to Alan Keyes’s candidacy. But here at BrowserMetrics, I post and let you decide. Whether to laugh or cry for these sad saps. Hopefully, your mom will vote for you.

I can, without doubt, say this is my favorite figure even though I have don’t have it. I see it offered on ebay for $150 and on Amazon for $164 and I am tempted to make that purchase. Whatever for?
This is also a Halloween post.
Quote of the Day [10.19.08]
“Secretary Powell’s recent presentation at the UN showed the extent to which we have Iraq under an audio and visual microscope. Given that, I was impressed not by the vastness of evidence presented by the Secretary, but rather by its sketchiness.”

They concluded the presidential debates last night, but not all candidates were invited. In fact, only the Democratic and Republican nominees were allowed. (Or at least that was my impression as I didn’t watch any of the debates.) There are others running for the Presidency, former congresswoman, Cynthia McKinney, for one.
Cynthia McKinney is running on the Green ticket. She beat out Ralph Nader. Nader must be such a loser that even the Greens don’t want him to lead. McKinney might be more of the same. While I admire some of what the Greens stand for (environmental policies?,) why vote for these losers who will never get a chance to enact any of those policies you cherish?
The Green Party has an all woman ticket. Sarah Palin take note.

That’s a lot of people.
They hear Senator Obama’s call for change.
“So Senator McCain can keep trying to attack me and distract you – but it’s not going to work. Not this time – not now. Because while my opponent thinks this campaign is all about me – the truth is, this campaign is about you. Your jobs. Your health care. Your retirement. Your children’s future. That’s what this election is about. That’s what I’m fighting for. Because I can take 2 more weeks of these attacks from John McCain, but the American people can’t take four more years of the same failed policies and the same divisive politics.”

They concluded the presidential debates last night, but not all candidates were invited. In fact, only the Democratic and Republican nominees were allowed. (Or at least that was my impression as I didn’t watch any of the debates.) There are others running for the Presidency, Dr. Chuck Baldwin, for one.
Dr. Chuck Baldwin is the Constitution Party’s nominee. I have no idea who he is or what they stand for, but it can’t be good when you leave the Republican party because George W Bush wasn’t right-wing enough. Sounds to me like they’re way Right on issues, a very scary place to be. It’s thin air out there, so thin, as to make you incoherent. I wonder if his policies are? Or are they very coherent, but scary, frightening?
Someone click this link and tell me.
Disclaimer: I’m just going through the other candidates’ websites to provide you, the reader, information. I don’t endorse any of them (except Obama). It’s to help you, the reader, decide on whom you will choose. I’m just wondering, “How the fuck are you still undecided after eight years?”

Apple asks, "Which MacBook are you?"
http://www.apple.com/mac/whichmacbook/TheSeed will probably answer, "none of the above."I'm the old school, last gen, aluminum MacBook Pro. Can I be the next
gen PowerBook user?Taking a look at that page, the MacBook Air is pretty sorry looking, so
last year's model. When will it get the new cosmetics to make it sleek
and sexy like its brethren?

"I'm astounded that this issue is being trotted out again. Based on
what I saw in 2004 and 2006, it's a scare tactic."David Iglesias, unduly fired US attorney about the newly opened "voter
fraud" investigations
