I remember that blender. And so the election goes on. And on. And on.
(Thu Nov 9, 2000 - 5:12:32 pm)
Chewing Wax:
That's the blender of love. It made me happy.

Sleepy:
Five (woo hoo) tv channels and no election coverage on at all at this moment. Bah.
(Thu Nov 9, 2000 - 5:17:44 pm)
Chewing Wax:
If the purpose of a recount is to make sure you got it right the first time, and after recounting it becomes apparent that you didn't, shouldn't you have to keep recounting until the same number shows up twice in a row? I was just thinking.

Chewing Wax:
Bush is up by 341 votes with three counties to go. Or something like that.
(Thu Nov 9, 2000 - 5:19:09 pm)
Chewing Wax:
Oop. 359 with four counties. Sorry.
(Thu Nov 9, 2000 - 5:20:36 pm)
Sleepy:
Won't the number be different because of some of the postal votes though? But if they took them away, then the figure should be the same, I agree. Should they recount every state? Should there be a new election? Arrgghh. Let the most popular man win. What a novel idea.

(Thu Nov 9, 2000 - 5:21:34 pm)
Sleepy:
I'm watching Father Ted.
(Thu Nov 9, 2000 - 5:22:15 pm)
Chewing Wax:
Love that show.
(Thu Nov 9, 2000 - 5:23:30 pm)
Sleepy:
I'm going to try to call Cushca.
(Thu Nov 9, 2000 - 5:23:47 pm)
Chewing Wax:
okay Say hi to her for me
(Thu Nov 9, 2000 - 5:26:09 pm)
Sleepy:
Oh, I've put the phone down now. But I would have said hi.
(Thu Nov 9, 2000 - 5:29:43 pm)
Chewing Wax:
Did you speak with her?
(Thu Nov 9, 2000 - 5:33:51 pm)
Decoy:
Life's not a popularity contest, you know.
(Thu Nov 9, 2000 - 5:37:06 pm)
Decoy:
5?
(Thu Nov 9, 2000 - 5:37:14 pm)
Sleepy:
I did, very briefly. To update her on the election.
(Thu Nov 9, 2000 - 5:37:30 pm)
Chewing Wax:
Can you imagine that?
(Thu Nov 9, 2000 - 5:38:17 pm)
Sleepy:
I can't even find any radio coverage. How crap.
(Thu Nov 9, 2000 - 5:38:54 pm)
Decoy:
The one thing that's gratifying is that the carnage includes the corpse of the media's predictave service. I never thought that was right - even since I was a child.

Chewing Wax:
Now they're saying that if Gore loses, they'll try to get a judge to call for a revote in Palm Beach County.
(Thu Nov 9, 2000 - 5:41:14 pm)
Sleepy:
Yes, CNN have been apologising haven't they?
(Thu Nov 9, 2000 - 5:42:14 pm)
Chewing Wax:
not exactly
(Thu Nov 9, 2000 - 5:42:53 pm)
Sleepy:
I bet the person who designed the polling form is looking for a new career right now.
(Thu Nov 9, 2000 - 5:43:05 pm)
Chewing Wax:
Since at least the 1970's New York has had voting booths that make it impossible to vote for more that one person for the same position.
(Thu Nov 9, 2000 - 5:44:49 pm)
Chewing Wax:
Of course I have no idea what the hell is going on inside the guts of that machine. You just kind of have to trust it.
(Thu Nov 9, 2000 - 5:45:34 pm)
Decoy:
They had a demo unit taken apart on the table at my pollong place. We could check it out and understand how it worked before we went in for the real thing. I even let my five year old figure it out before we left.

Sleepy:
In England, on our forms, we have big white boxes next to the names and with our tiny little hands we grip the oversized stubby pencil tied to the booth and put a big cross next to the one we like. It's very effective.
(Thu Nov 9, 2000 - 5:48:27 pm)
Chewing Wax:
brilliant
(Thu Nov 9, 2000 - 5:49:09 pm)
Decoy:
Yeah, in other states, if you vote twice on the same column, the who thing is thrown out. I guess they assume you're not eighteen or or foriegn or something.
(Thu Nov 9, 2000 - 5:49:55 pm)
Decoy:
I think I sadi before about color coding them red and blue with a donkey and an elephant - just to be sure. And they want to CONVERT THE WHOLE THING TO THE INTERNET!!!!
