In case you missed it, I highly recommend reading this mother of all rip-offs article I mentioned in the comments earlier today.

Poop Survey

Poop Tarts by ~Spaztik06

A friend and I were discussing poop frequency and I was surprised to learn that he only poops once every two or three days. He insisted that was within the normal range and after googling a bit I realized he was right.
It may have had something to do with my grandmother, but I always thought everyone should poop at least once a day. When I would stay with my grandma as a kid an inability to produce a "BM" at least once a day was cause for concern and a prunes and prune juice only diet.
Any thoughts on poop schedules?

Diebold Voting Fraud in NH?


How Wrong Were The Polls?

These New Hampshire stats seem rather disconcerting.

By Percentage
Method Hillary Clinton Barack Obama
Diebold Machines 53.23% 46.77%
Hand Count 47.47% 52.53%

By Votes
Method Hillary Clinton Barack Obama
Diebold Machines 82860 72807
Hand Count 18898 20912

By Number of Municipalities Won
Method Hillary Clinton Barack Obama
Diebold Machines 54 33
Hand Count 43 77

While I have no evidence at this time --- let me repeat, no evidence at this time --- of chicanery, what we do know is that chicanery, with this particular voting system, is not particularly difficult. Particularly when one private company --- and a less-than-respectable one at that, as I detailed in the previous post --- runs the entire process.

I should also note that some 40% of New Hampshire's precincts are hand-counted, which equals about 25% of the votes. All the rest are counted on hackable Diebold op-scan systems, with completely hackable memory cards, all programmed and managed by LHS Associates. As Bev Harris of BlackBoxVoting.org who seems to share my concern, says, LHS is the "chain of custody" in New Hampshire elections.

Other folks that I've spoken to, who follow this sort of thing, share my concern at this hour. Harris noted that it will be interesting to compare numbers of the hand-counted precincts with those counted on the hackable Diebold op-scan systems.

If I was Barack Obama, I'd certainly not have conceded this election this quickly. I'm not quite sure what he was thinking. And as far as offering an indication of whether he understands how these systems work, and the necessity of making sure that votes are counted, and counted accurately, it does not offer a great deal of confidence at this hour.

I'm trying to get in touch with his campaign, to let them know of these concerns. I hope you'll feel free to let them know as well, if any of you happen to be in touch with them, or a part of the campaign. I will, of course, be happy to discuss these concerns with them if they wish to call.

Woohoo!

How about another 6 Degrees of Casey Serin to Karl Rove game?


Don't forget to play the current 6 Degrees of Casey Serin to Cap'n Crunch game!

UPDATE: While reading the Rove Resigns NYT comments I discovered someone else with exactly the same response (other than the hyphen):

The BBC comments are rather interesting as well.

This poll pertains to Aspeth’s Recommended Reading comments and her supposed appearance in a Bollywood film.


Honest answers only please.

OT UPDATE: I found this amusing Future of Real Estate image over at Paleo-Future and had to share it.
