Ebert makes me laugh, over a horrid disease. He's great. Didn't the show used to be on PBS? Maybe not, but I remember watching it with my dad.

80!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

OK, things don't sound as bad as I first thought:

Nothing "changed" or was "transferred". [link] [state.oh.us] is a special web site in operation for elections. Otherwise, it points to [link] [state.oh.us] as it does now. It appears that the State of Ohio contracted with SmartTech for hosting, processing, and dissemination of the election results via the special elections web site, when it is in operation.

That probably won't be a good enough answer for people, though. Regardless, it appears that SmartTech has obvious ties to the Republican Party, and hosts many sites for various Republican political interests. The Secretary of State of Ohio is a partisan political position. This doesn't mean there aren't questions that can be raised or points to be debated.

I didn't even scroll down far enough. From the same McGill newsletter:

Genetic find could lead to improved Alzheimer's drugs

Researchers at McGill have successfully altered a gene that regulates the switch from short- to long-term memory in mice.

If Diebold's connections to the Republican Party aren't enough to raise alarms, I doubt this will.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Like the President of Diebold nearly French kissing the Ohio Secretary of State and promising to deliver Ohio to the GOP wrapped in a bow?

Yeah. Too true.

Besides, Diebold told us they weren't gonna swing the election to the Republicans. That should be good enough.

I think they actually told us the opposite. They're a lot ballsier than their patrons, gotta give 'em that.

Well, at one point the president of Diebold (speaking to the press) said they weren't going to steal the election. This was in response to questions about him telling fellow Republicans he wad going to deliver Ohio to Bush.

Which is sorta' like the fox telling the farmer, "I'm not going to steal any chickens" after the fox has already asked his fellow foxes, "Hey, who wants chicken?"

edit for sense....

So there's this couple out on the bench outside. It appear they are having a "date." Which includes watching/listening to music on their individual cells and comparing, in a non-threatening manner, switchblades. The conversation is whacko.

The hell?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You know, of course, this sounds like a great night out to me.

Why won't the sun go away? I need to sleep, and it won't leave me alone.
