So, I didn't miss anything, it was just as I expected. The same old thing. Oh, and that "Pell Grants for Kids" thing, that's just another excuse to bring back vouchers for private/catholic schools. Great job, Mr Pres. Now get your a** out of that house and make way for someone who will hopefully help this country and get things back on track to being a great nation and someplace we're proud to call HOME, and bring back the troops.
What is your primary means of staying in touch with your friends and family?
I'll assume you're talking about Mom and Dad here. I'll say email, but I also call, occassionally. I'm really bad about staying in touch. We talk, maybe, once a month.
With friends, I would say email. Other family, I would say email, also. I'm not a big phone person.
or crazy or stupid or technologically challenged, if you must, but I'm not.
BUT I LIKE THE NEW VOX Interface.
I don't understand what all the bitchiness is with the changes. There's about 4 things I use and they're all still there and they all are quickly available. From the beta they added things back in and made adjustments, I can still find photos on a person's blog. I can still see updates by clicking the link. Comments are still there, in the same cryptic way they were before. The big VOX is still there to take me back home. I can see my neighborhood, my blog, and groups. And I'm even finding Vox Watch slightly interesting.
I do miss [This Is Good]. And I'd like to see something done with listing comments because I don't care that 24 people commented on one post, it's that other post that I want to know if it has new comments.
Oh, and why when I click spell check does Vox underline VOX?
Now, go back to your bitching about the new interface, I promise not to read your posts, and maybe I'll even remove you from my 'hood.

looks interesting.
Dear Vox and Six Apart,
Thank you! Thank you for giving me Vox. A place on the web where I can blog, post pictures, videos, and audio. A place on the web that doesn't cost me a dime, or $4.95 a month, or $19.95 a month. A place where I've met a lot of really cool people and shared me great and not-so great experiences. A place where I can post with the privacy level that I want and not have to worry about my posts showing up in Google or Yahoo or some other search engine. A place free of spammers. A place with few advertisers.
I don't know how you give me all that you do and still stay afloat. You're doing a great job. Your interface and your features far exceed any of your competition. Keep up the good work. I'll be here for a long time.

Ohh, how lucky for me, I can reuse a picture, from yesterday, and it's still appropriate, and kind of fits how I'm feeling about the QotD recently...
Sounds interesting. And still "legal".

Yes, I’m hearing all your tinfoil hat comments already. I know, I know, I know.

BUT WAIT, there’s more!
I’m looking at this in the larger context, with the consideration of a few additional things: Clinton has taken large donations from Rupert Murdoch and his associates, Fox “News” has been (almost too) supportive of Clinton’s candidacy as of late, AND its widely known that the conventional “wisdom” in Republican circles is that Clinton’s got a glass jaw and her being the Democratic nominee is their best shot at winning in November. I don’t know that any official Clinton operatives had anything to do with or any knowledge of faking the NH primary election results, but there’s something about this that just isn’t square.
Dean:
Dude,
If you stuck to the mainstream media, you wouldn't have to burden yourself with these pesky conspiratorial fallacies...
As a rule, I completely dismiss pre-vote polling especially in a primary, and especially, especially in New Hampshire (they love to make up their own mind, those Granite-staters). Having said that the exit polling was what concerned me and seems a more reliable measure of inconsistencies (provided you trust the pollers of course). You may recall that exit polling was wildly inconsistent in both of the last general elections. While I'm not personally convinced there is an unacceptable amount of "skullduggery" here, I do believe it warrants some further legitimate investigation. That is, IF I CARED IN THE FIRST PLACE.
On the bright side, it looks (from Brad's blog) like Sibel Edmonds is finally starting to make some hay...
Rack me,

Chris:
I agree that the pre-vote polling doesn’t necessarily mean anything and that people can change their minds. In this case, however, the pre-vote polling only serves to support and further illustrate that something isn’t jake.
Its hard NOT to consider the exit polling well executed and the corresponding data credible when it precisely mirrors (within the margin of error, anyway) the posted election results of all candidates in the race, regardless of ideological affiliation, with the one notable exception of Clinton. The only inconsistency here is the posted election results.
The thing about the “wildly inconsistent” exit polling data in either of the last general presidential elections is that it was CONSISTENTLY “wildly” inconsistent, which to me makes the corresponding official election results look fudged more than it makes the polling data look flawed.
Sibel had to go outside to country to find someone that cared and/or wasn’t too intimidated to run the story. I hesitate to call that making hay.
Me:
definitely sounds like something doesn't add up.
Unfortunately the WHOLE election process is screwed up and I have a hard time complaining about this one state. Now if it keep happening over and over again, then I'll be a bit more worried. I frankly don't see much of a difference between the big three democrats - Clinton, Obama, and Edwards. I've done several of the survey/comparison things and each time I match up with Kucinich. I think Edwards is the closest of the big three after that.
There was an election episode of the Simpson's on the other night. They made sure to throw a jab at Kucinich. It was quite funny and I nearly busted a gut on it, because I knew they were making fun of me.
Keep sending the news and I'll keep reading it. Just not really sure what I can 'do' about it right now. And I'm tired of feeling like there's nothing I can do.
Chris:
It drives me nuts that there’s damned little action on correcting issues with our elections on the part of elected officials. I, too, am tired of feeling like there’s nothing I can do except write another e-mail or letter or make another phone call. And I’m tired of living in a country where only a small minority of us seem to give a hoot about this kind of thing, even though it affects every one of us. And I’m tired of people not voting for the candidate they really want and agree with (like Kuicinich, for example) or not voting at all. And I’m tired of feeling fed up and sick and tired. And I’m tired of bitching and moaning and writing and calling and talking and voting and nothing ever changing.
Maybe Dean’s got the right idea.
