Damm! We took a direct hit with hurricane Charlie. Then a NEAR miss
with hurricane Frances. (It took 4 1/2 > DAYS < to pass through!) Then
another narrow miss with hurricane Ivan. I just looked at the weather
forecast and now there's another one headed this way! Hurricane Jeanne is

1953 to 2003 has been the lowest hurricane in recorded history. Granted the
records get scetchy prior to the mid 1800's but the numbers have seen
indicate that this year is NOT above a long term historical norm. The
question is not so much is this year anomolus in terms of history, but
rather the start of a long term trend [think of the impact on the economy
down there if it is.....]

It has to be a terrorist plot. Time for the War on Hurricanes?

It IS a terrorist plot. Unfortunately, they are targeting the wrong Bush
(for the unaware, Jeb Bush, George W.'s brother, is Governor of Florida).

Don't blame me. I voted for Nader. It was that or vote for the
Republican carpet bagger or the Democratic moron. This year's electrion is
shaping up to be just as bad. I can't even remember when there was actually
a candidate that I really wanted to vote for.

According to my Observer newspaper , Nader gets a lot of funding from Mr.
Bush's backers.
So who were you really voting for ?

OK, Kerry's web server runs on Apache/Linux and George's runs on IIS. Nader,
though saying he doesn't like computers, runs Apache/Linux, and Badnarik
runs Linux and FreeBSD.
To make it more classic-computer related, Nader's site still runs Apache
1.3, and up until 17-Nov-2000, ran BSD/OS (Gasp!)
My vote's still for HAL:

Yes I know , the paper said that they're funding Nader because he pulls a
lot of Democrat votes rather than Republican , thus swinging things Bush's

Exit polls have CONSISTANTLY shown that Nader takes more votes away from
the Republican than from the Democrats. I've heard CLAIMS that the
republicans secretly finance Nader but I neve seen any proof and I don't

I read it. I'd heard that the Guardian was biased and now I have proof.
For example the article claims that a recount in Florida in 2000 gave the
election to Gore. That is simply untrue, there were literally dozens of
recounts done at different tiems and by different groups and agencies. They
were also done under all different conditions (count hanging chats, don't
count hanging chats, count military votes, don't count military votes,
count absentee ballots, don't count absentee votes, etc etc etc. Only ONE
recount at exactly one point in time and under optimal Democratic
conditions (such as not counting the absentee ballots) gave the majority to
Gore. ALL of the other recounts gave the majority to Bush. The LAST
recount was done weeks after the election and including ALL of the military
and absentee ballots said that Bush won over Gore by over 3200 votes.
That's not mentioned anywhere in the Guardian's report is it? They also
failed to mention that the Democratic party tried desperately to have ALL
of the military and absentee votes for Florida thrown out since they knew
that the military voted overwhelmly for Bush. My wife was working out of
state and one of those absentee ballots was her's so we paid a lot of
attention to what was going on here. Apparently a lot more than the
Gaurdian did. You need to find a less biased source of news!

Maybe he did, maybe not, I don't really remember. It's irrelevant;
the constitution says that it doesn't work that way.
If that ever changes, then candidates will run their elections VERY
differently. You'll never see a candidate in New Hampshire again, for
example.

From this side of the pond the view is that your
President Bush is the most
corrupt in modern times - his well documented draft -
dodging only supports
that view. I have more faith in our Guardian/ Observer newspapers than any
of your organs run by the likes of Rupert Murdoch.
His Sun "newspaper" over here is the subject of much scorn.
If you want Bush , you have my sympathies.
Wait till the oil runs out ( the war in Iraq was about oil remember ? ),
you're gonna be in the piggies.

Damm! We took a direct hit with hurricane

with hurricane Frances. (It took 4 1/2 > DAYS < to pass through!) Then
another narrow miss with hurricane Ivan. I just looked at the weather
forecast and now there's another one headed this way! Hurricane Jeanne is

Yes, and to me the message is very clear: Glen, leave Florida.
