  1. Woman Votes In Bra After Being Told To Remove Bush-Cheney Shirt JEFFERSON, La. -- When an election worker told Debbie Dupeire that her Bush-Cheney T-shirt was illegal at the polls, Dupeire didn't get mad. She got undressed. http://www.wftv.com/news/3899062/detail.html
  2. Best election recap i've read yet...trust me you don't want to miss this one http://www.msu.edu/~karjalae/electionrecap.htm
  3. The internet will eventually be wonderful for music buyers, but it is still a threat to today's dominant record labels “DIRTY pop with wonky beats and sleazy melodies” is how the Sweet Chap, aka Mike Comber, a British musician from Brighton, describes his music. The Sweet Chap has no record deal yet, but he has been taken on by IE Music, a London music-management group that also represents megastar Robbie Williams. To get the Sweet Chap known, last year IE Music did a deal to put his songs on KaZaA, an internet file-sharing program. As a result, 70,000 people sampled the tracks and more than 500 paid for some of his music. IE Music's Ari Millar says that virally spreading music like this is the future. It may indeed be, and nimble small record labels and artist-management firms will certainly get better results as they find ways to reach more people via the internet. But the question facing the music industry is when that future will arrive. And the issue is most urgent for the four big companies that dominate the production and distribution of music—Universal, Sony/BMG, Warner and EMI (see chart 1). So far they have been slow to embrace the internet, which has seemed to them not an opportunity but their nemesis. Rather than putting their product on file-sharing applications, they are prosecuting free-download users for theft. They have certainly been struggling: sales of recorded music shrank by a fifth between 1999 and 2003. Complete with pretty graphs and full article Here

  13. I give John Kerry amazing props for conceding...he is a far better man than I predicted. I think both him and the entire democrat party will benefit a lot from taking this route.
  14. Tons of young people voted...at least by me. My roomie only got home at 9PM to watch returns because he was in line since 4PM...dedication and numbers unhead of in my age group. Another myth I see about the young vote is that the young vote is inehrently Kerry. From what I can tell it's just like everywhere else in the country 50-50 split. My absentee ballot didn't get returned to my home state (NM, a swinger) in time, but it didn't matter as my vote was a Bush vote, and I just heard my state finally went for Bush. As to why my indecisive ass finally picked Bush...I still wonder about it. I disagree with a whole gamut of issues that Bush is for...but military and economics trump all of those (IMO) especially economics. You can't call tax cuts for the rich evil, when my folks are not even close to rich, but got tons back (enough for both me and my sister to go to really sweet colleges, and get enough comfort for student loans etc.). Also y'all probably know, but my Dad works for Sandia National Labs (engineer/intelligence), and Bush has done wonderful things for them, and has never ever voted against or proposed cutting/not funding/removing intelligence and any national labs scientists. Like I said...I'm so middle of the road, and I didn't really decide until this last weekend, and am really relunctant even talking about it (all the musicians I play with called me names, yelled, screamed...stuff I would rather not relive), but that's somewhat of my thought process about this last week.
