Politics

In a new dimension of fascism, presidential campaigns sell personal info to corporations.

A little girl in Colorado says what everybody in Ohio is thinking... We're sick and tired of political ads. Get off my radio. Get off my TV. Get out of my mailbox. Get off my YouTube.

OMG, in a gross example of political self-centeredness, New York City faux-Republican Bloomberg, recognizing that his entire city is Democrat, endorses Obama. Talk about self-serving colloquialism. This article tries to re-write history by calling Bloomberg an independent. Wikipedia remembers Bloomberg won the election by conveniently declaring as a Republican.

This Google+ graphic seriously favors Romney.

Despite all the news favoritism for Obama, interest in Romney is surging. And that makes perfect sense. Everybody knows the incumbent, so undecideds are unhappy with the incumbent. Undecideds are searching out Romney and finding they can tolerate him better than Obama. How about we call Obama Obamanama and we call Romney Romnomama. This adds some frivolity to a worthless election.

The private sector comes the rescue of election: IEEE wants to set standards for voting machines. This is a fabulous idea, but it won't help with this year's elections. However, it might help mitigate the post-election contest by offering hope for the future.
