* we are still having fun over at mysterypollster - the data looks somewhat dodgy, and there are some serious holes - as we all know, spreadsheets with a single mistake cant really be trusted. the latest version is here http://www.mysterypollster.com/main/2005/01/more_on_nsizes_.html i seemed to have unleashed some reasonable questions - altho we havent actually proved anything. (ive only looked at the pres data - so johns commments mostly go over my head. also see here http://www.mysterypollster.com/main/2005/01/fun_with_unweig.html#comments

* "Election security outlined: Maj. Gen. John R.S. Batiste, commander of the 1st Infantry Division, said quick-reaction forces will be on hand to "stomp on the insurgent when he raises his ugly head."" http://edition.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/meast/01/13/iraq/index.html

* " Each family (from Fallujah) is eligible for 150,000 Iraqi dinars, or about $100."

* flashback: "Let's ensure WE "NEVER FORGET" 9-11" or Nick, the Love in his Heart, His Family, and WHY WE ARE AT WAR- God Bless You!" fuck i hate these people. www.nickberg.net

* flashback - remember the sniggeringidiot joking about not finding the wmd...

* "After leaving Iraq, General Tommy Franks accused Deputy Defense Secretary Douglas Feith of underestimating Iraq’s resistance and described Feith as “The f**ng stupidest guy on the face of the earth.”" i had always thought that it was franks who was described as such. apologies to tommy. http://msnbc.msn.com/id/6814437/

* kerik "the stock value of stun gun manufacturer Taser has plunged over 40 percent this month in part because the Securities and Exchange Commission had announced it is investigating the safety of the guns. Tasers are marketed as a non-lethal weapon, but at least 80 people have died in the U.S. after being Tasered. The SEC is also investigating possible insider training by company executives."

* " A member of the Federal Communications Commission said Thursday the agency should investigate whether conservative commentator Armstrong Williams broke the law by failing to disclose that the Bush administration paid him $240,000 to plug its education policies." hopefully theyll investigate the shitehouse as well. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&e=3&u=/ap/20050113/ap_on_go_ot/fcc_williams

* incase u missed it - armstrongwilliams is a serial sexoffender. homophobic homo. is it compulsory to hate yourself if you are a repuglican?

* http://counter-inaugural.org/

* notonedamndime.com Boycott "Bush's inauguration by not spending any money on inauguration day"

* the lead: "Newly disclosed documents in the John Walker Lindh case appear to conflict with assertions made to Congress by Michael Chertoff, nominated this week as homeland security secretary, about the Justice Department's handling of ethics concerns in the high-profile prosecution." the final para: ""It's incredible to me that we would want someone leading the Department of Homeland Security who gives equivocal and misleading statements to Congress and avoids answering the tough questions," she said."
the headline?: "Nomination May Revisit Case of Citizen Seized in Afghanistan" fuck the nyt. seriously. itd be funny, if it wasnt. btw would any of the egadmin be confirmable in nonbizzaro land? http://www.nytimes.com/2005/01/13/politics/13home.html?pagewanted=all&position=
* "Kid Rock, the vulgar rock-rapper whom inauguration staff initially talked of headlining the youth concert next week as part of the festivities for President Bush's swearing in, will not be appearing after all." grrr. "committee staff emphasized that Kid Rock was never officially booked to appear, arguing that he therefore could not have been canceled."

* "I think people attack me because they are fearful that I will then say that you're not equally as patriotic if you're not a religious person," Mr. Bush said. "I've never said that. I've never acted like that. I think that's just the way it is." "This is a country that is a value-based country," he said. "Whether they voted for you or not, there's a lot of values in this country, for which I'm real proud." genius. http://washingtontimes.com/national/20050111-101004-3771r.htm

* princeharry gets himself into trouble. it turns out that his family wants to keep the nazi links hushhush. i hope one of thetwins wears a swastika to the inauguration. (ftr - the goldenprince was also at the party with harry - no mention of whether he advised his younger bro)

* i just noted a disturbing statistic on my blogging: WordsWritten: 1,112,771 - hmmm. most of it was quoting others - so i guess that makes it better..
