well yeah, obviously there *was* that. i guess i also forgot to mention the part where they snuck into my apartment while i was sleeping and dressed up in my girlfriend's clothes and forced me to be gay. what else... i guess they did also blow up those churches, but honestly, it was only like 10 or 20 of them. i mean, they're *communists* for cryin out loud! you gotta cut them some slack, right?

Bush's PR team won the election.

All in all, televisedness is now above godliness in the industrialized nations. And there is no end in sight. Culture, we hardly knew ye.

uh USA elections... seems to me that you got some really fucked up ignorant rednecks back there... more rednecks voting means a redneck president... I can`t believe that a people are more concerned about gay and abortion issues than a USA carnage over innocent iraqui people dow in fallujah... have u seen footage of couple of US soldiers killing some innocent citiyens as they were praying... guess not... censorship is such a strong thing in america... europe is way better place to live i tell you... i think that all you smart people in states should move here

Justice Scalia drew big laughs with this recent comment about the cancelled Florida recount of 2000:

"It's water over the deck — get over it," Scalia said, drawing laughs from his audience. Scalia, answering questions after a speech, also said that critics of the 5-4 ruling in Bush v. Gore need to move on six years after the electoral drama of December 2000.

Thought you might like to know that.

I've read the boldfaced sentence eight times. It makes no sense. Am I supposed to not know that?

Three of the five Supreme Court justices who handed the presidency to George W. Bush in 2000 say they had no choice but to intervene in the Florida recount.

Rather than let the recount take place and leave state officials and possibly Congress to determine the outcome of the election, the court's five conservative justices decided to intervene.

Here, I'll repeat that.

Nope. Still makes no sense. The recount was stopped.
( Okay. I follow so far. )
The recount was stopped, because if it continued, the voters of Florida might have decided the election???
( No. That can't be right. )
The Supreme Court is supposed to guess the results of a recount???
( That can't be right. )

I'm really stumped. Good thing it's all a laughing matter, or I'd take all this seriously.

Crazy old pillhead. Had admiral's bars sewn on robe.

Lives in a world of conflicts of interest. Owned, in a new way.

Had the gall to say this after how she voted in 2000:

Sandra Day O'Connor, a Republican-appointed judge who retired last month after 24 years on the supreme court, has said the US is in danger of edging towards dictatorship if the party's rightwingers continue to attack the judiciary.

And this guy helped.
