but fun in parts: [...] The last word on electronic voting machines [...] comes from Dilbert-creator Scott Adams: "There's a 100% chance that the voting machines will get hacked and all future elections will be rigged. But that doesn't mean we'll get a worse government. It probably means that the choice of the next American president will be taken out of the hands of deep-pocket, autofellating, corporate shitbags and put it into the hands of some teenager in Finland. How is that not an improvement?"

JJ, I'd like to say: on Pepe's behalf, I forwarded this photo to my bro-in-law, a Veteran and still a current soldier who sought to make Iraq a better place, and who handed out water in New Orleans post-Katrina, though now back in the American southwest; and a former National guardsman, and close friend.
Bourbon Kerry has learned nothing and forgot nothing.
Mft, good to hear. AI, saw that. Hesitated to post it since it scomes from the Post and the Guardian is so much more authoritative.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, JJ. Are you getting snobbish on us? In which case, maybe you should change you moniker to JF?
Actually, and for all it's worth, the Post article was by Rich Lowry, who is rather blue-nosed himself -- otherwise, it's hard to believe Bill Buckley would have picked him as editor at NR. Wasn't Lowry the guy Ann Coulter referred to when she talked about the girlie-men at NR? At any rate, those catfights are rather silly, it's the argument that counts, and the way it is presented, not so much where and by whom, I say. And that piece by Lowry is not too shabby, better than his usual batting average.
Don't get defensive, AI. I thought I was being pretty obviously ironic when I mentioned the Guardianis authoritativeness. Maybe you, now that you are travelling the Old Continent on the taxpayer's dime and throwing back espressos with Geroge Soros in Venice (and complaining about the prices), you're changing your mind about Euro-elite media?
Just a theory.
Wrong, JJ: I'm drinking cafe lungo, but mostly capucinnos (which are really cafe con latte) -- the largest size I can get, which is still 10% of a grande at corner Starbucks. But yes, coffee tastes pretty good. Money does not come from Soros, more likely, Kofi, which means John Q. Taxpayer. Hey, I'm working hard, don't you see?
You're getting damn good at photography, AI. That shot you entitly 'tranquility' is just breathtaking.
Maybe you can add to this grant with a supplement from the National Endowment for the Arts.
The photographs are quite beautiful, AI. JJ's notion of how to supplement your grant funds ain't off the mark. Throw in a section on "Beyond the Mathematical Boundary, Transgressive Images of Discourse" and the Feds will double whatever you're getting for plain ol' mathematical research
[and if they don't, there's always Soros. Just write down something on how the visual is the best way to get an ACORN to grow in Bush Gardens].
