Did "Anonymous", (Not Joe Klein, the Hacker Folks) save Democracy in America?!

by MrSmith1 11/18/2012 - 10:26 am

 

Wow, the group of hackers known collectively as "Anonymous" are claiming that in the 2012 Presidential election, they stopped Karl Rove from changing the vote totals in three key states, including Ohio ... and that Rove got away with it in 2004, by diverting the official Ohio servers to a Republican owned server for 90 minutes which changed the vote totals from a Kerry lead to a Bush lead.  No wonder Rove went ballistic when Fox called Ohio for Obama on election night.  And could this be the real reason all those GOP pundits were so confident predicting a Romney landslide?   [Read more]

If Tuesday's election had gone the other way, this might have been sent out on Wednesday:

A silly thought that just makes me laugh ...

by MrSmith1 11/7/2012 - 1:48 pm

 

What if all that spending by the Koch Brothers and What's-his-name Adelson and the other Extremely Conservative billionaires, created so many advertising and media production jobs, that it was responsible for the drastic lowering of the unemployment figures in the last couple of months ...  Would that be considered, ironic?   Especially, since they got exactly the same result as if they had spent no money at all?  And if they had spent no money at all, none of those jobs would have been created and the unemployment figures would have been over 8 percent and ... well, you know the saying, "No President has ever been re-elected with the unemployment figure over 8%." [Read more]

(My best friend, and fellow haiku-writer, David found this.  The parents of a young boy in a wheelchair created a unique Halloween costume for him.)

(David's haiku is in bold italics.)

 

A very special Halloween outfit ...

 

Costume-Ku:

There's hope for the world
When parents use their love with
Creativity.
