Nov. 6th, 2007 09:02 pmI voted today. Small local election, but I think these things matter - I was pleased to go out to the polls before work :)
Still.... the "Diebold" logo on the machine in the booth was... discouraging to say the least. As was the news about still more technical glitches, that while fixed, still illustrates the real and continuing technical problems with paperless voting.....
So in (belated) honor of Guy Fawkes Night (and, face it, just 'cos they're brilliant), I share some sterling political commentary:
Keith Olbermann's special comment on torture (opens YouTube): sharpens the knife and drives it in! While Stephen Colbert's roasting of Dubya is still downright majestic a year later....
