Comfortably Numb (Gilmour, Waters) 6:49

Hello?
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone at home?
Come on, now,
I hear you're feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again.
Relax.
I'll need some information first.
Just the basic facts.
Can you show me where it hurts?
There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain you would not understand
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.
O.K.
Just a little pinprick.
There'll be no more aaaaaaaaah!
But you may feel a little sick.
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working, good.
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on it's time to go.
There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.

Kerry won NM, FL, OH also

Ohio poll challengers turned folks away on the basis of race.

Same in New Mexico

Florida threw tens of thousands, tens of thousands!! of voter registrations in the trashcan

The reason Blackwell in Ohio is delaying the count is the same reason he rejected the registrations earlier. He knows perfectly well what the count would show and who he was disenfranchising last month. It's a blue state, just like NM.

If it weren't for the arrant cheating and fraud, we'd have a clear winner, and it'd be Kerry. Kerry's people did the same thing to the independent campaigns, of course, because they're all venal: power-hungry, kidney-brained, short-sighted, anti-American skunks.


It was clear to everyone that the exit polls showed a Kerry victory in New Mexico and in Ohio, yet the "counts" said otherwise.

If they'd been capable of a fair election, we'd have a real result.

Will Kerry roll over like Gore did? Who can doubt it? Neither of them has shown a lot of conviction thus far.

Aux barricades.

Kerry won my state too, Illinois. Also, Alan Keyes got whooped by Obama. At least we can celebrate Obama's victory. It's the only thing keeping me from going back to bed for the rest of the day at this point.

Perhaps we should change our rhetoric. We keep talking about what America obviously does do and call it anti-American. To me it seems quite possible that the people in question chose to do the American thing, and cheated.

That doesn’t surprise me all that much, since we make such a deal about winning, is there any wonder that we also make a habit out of cheating.

What disheartens me, is that when an electorate is given the opportunity to toss out a demonstrated incompetent, a proven liar, and religious bigot, our choice should — even with the trashing of some portion of the vote — be a close enough race for those methods to be successful.

For the first time, really, I feel ashamed of my country.

Do you have a link on this?

I'd appreciate it.

Overnight, there were some major last minute court decisions that could impact the outcome in some key states. In Ohio, an 11th hour blow was dealt to the Democrats in the hotly contested battleground state as an appeals court in Cincinnati overturned two lower court decisions, clearing the way for Republican vote challengers to be present at polling places throughout the state. The Democrats had sought to ban the challengers, saying they were part of a possible voter intimidation effort. Meanwhile, in South Dakota, where Senate Minority leader Tom Daschle is fighting a very close contest to retain his powerful seat, a federal judge has granted a request by Daschle to limit the activities of Republican poll watchers.

The ruling comes after the minority leader accused his opponent, John Thune, and the GOP of intimidating Native American voters. As part of the ruling, Republican poll watchers are prohibited from following American Indian voters out of polling places. They're also not allowed to take down their license plate numbers. The decision applies only to voters in one county - Charles Mix.

....

CHELLIE PINGREE: Well, a couple of things. First off, it's significant the highest calls are coming in from Broward county in Florida where we have the absentee ballot scandal, and then Allegheny county in Pennsylvania, where there's also a very closely watched vote. The most significant calls early on have been people who didn't get their absentee ballots, not just in Florida but around the country. People whose registration was never entered and didn't get their registration verified.

He ONE my state two

I mean *won* my state. I'm tired. Its 3 am. I've got nano on the brain.

You're forgiven.
Maybe if he'd TWO'd our states he would have had a chance to win!?
Well, you know what they used to say back in the deep South: "Vote early and vote Often!"
Even an idiot can fool 1/2 the people all the time.

The only good thing that came out of this was that I went straight to the "99¢ Only" store from my polling place to buy food. (I have no job due to Busch's economic non-policies.)
AND, they gave me a free item for voting!

We're in for a rough 4 years.

Winners and losers.

 

[cantdog]

The dude conceded.

Well, of course. Now maybe you can see the unwisdom of backing such a man.

When you back someone because he's the "least worst," you have no influence with the "least worst," even if he wins. He didn't have to make any platform concessions to get the antiwar vote, because you told him straight out, you were voting anybody but Bush, and he didn't have to lift a finger to get that.

You sure as shit don't have any influence with Bush, now do yer?

Whereas, the man who was telling you all that was some kind of megalomaniac narcissist.

Stew in your own juices.

He conceded because he is OWNED. He's been one of the Corporate Party candidates right along, and his owners made a 'phone call, to which he said "yessir."

Now. If you have any kind of real commitment to any progressive causes, then please quit getting distracted by these ridiculous corporate farce elections and organize some resistance. What the fuck were you imagining? Neither Republocrat nor Demagogue gives two shits for the left, and they haven't for some time now.

Stop supporting these drones and make a viable second party in the country.

Kerry won California (no surprise there). Locally, Oakland voted to make enforcing marijuana laws the OPD's lowest priortiy by passing Measure Z.

At least we got something out of the election. I may have a joint, but I've also got a job & pay my rent on time. Go bust those fuckers shooting the guns in the streets and stop hassling those of us giggling too much and gorging on Cheetos, Officer. The voters have spoken!

(It's just that in too much of the rest of the country, they were talking BULLSHIT yesterday.)
