What to be afraid of this Halloween!

Some would point to either candidate as being frightening and scary. I think the chance of a tainted election is much more distressing. I do have trust in the choice of the entire electorate and if that is in question, it really is a horror show.

Thankfully in New Hampshire we use optical scanners which in my opinion are reliable and trustworthy.

Gael provided a link about computer voting problems, which I would testify as a computer guy are inherently fraught with problems.

I support using open source software if the decision is made to use computer touch screen voting and I have added a blog entry here. Even my Conservative co-author supports this strategy.

Enjoy your Halloween candy, watch some scary political ads and vote on tuesday

Funny they didn't mention the "compassionate conservative" George W Bush. I wonder why? I would define Conservatism as "maintaining the current order." I don't draw a distinction between this political definition and my tree hugging sen...

What was even more ironic was the customer reps comment that "all the card companies do this". This is a great business model. I will now be offering loans for $0 to anyone who asks. All I require is a small monthly $1.50 minimum interest payment. A PayPal button is provided on this blogsite. The card has been canceled.
