• Thousands of people were disenfranchised (denied their right to vote). This is most prominent in Ohio where there was a massive campaign of voter suppression. Ken Blackwell is the Secretary of State for Ohio, Chief Elections Official for Ohio, and co-chair of the Committee to Re-elect George Bush in Ohio. He is in charge of elections for the state, determining method of voting, precincts, how many machines each precinct gets, etc. It is absolutely ridiculous that this sort of extremely biased individual is responsible for setting up the vote. And lets look at how he set it up..

• In strongly democratic minority neighborhoods, there were very few voting machines, often only 2 or 3 per thousands of voters, creating lines of 10 or 12+ hours to vote. People were being turned away from their polling places when midnight rolled around because the law, which says you are able to vote as long as you were in line before polls closed, no longer applied because election day was over. Some places stayed open and people waited until 4am to vote. In neighboring republican areas there were far more voting machines for less voters and no lines. It is estimated that many thousands of people gave up waiting in line to vote and left. Many have jobs, children to take care of, and cannot wait this long. It is a tyranny and deliberate tactic to force people to wait this long to vote. This is a violation of the constitution - creating a new poll tax in minority areas.

• Many democrats were called on election day, or notified by mail in advance that their polling location had changed when it had not. Flyers were distributed with lies that people would be arrested or not allowed to vote if they had been registered by the NAACP and John Kerry for President groups, if they ever had traffic violations, if anybody in their family had ever been arrested for anything, etc. Flyers were sent, posted, and distributed saying that people need two forms of picture ID and their social security card to vote. A big effort to discourage people in democratic areas from voting.

• Many of the votes on election day were collected using electronic voting machines made by Diebold and ES&S, two companies loyal to the republican party. Walden O'Dell, the owner of Diebold, said in a 2003 fundraising letter that he is "committed to helping Ohio deliver it's electoral votes to the president next year." He has also spent time on Bush's ranch in Texas, and is a top level contributor to the Bush campaign. Many of the votes were tabulated on machines by Diebold and Triad, another company loyal to the republicans. Many of the electronic voting machines were designed to not give paper receipts after voting!! There is no way to do a fair recount for counties using these machines. There was a bill in congress to force voting machines to give paper reciepts, but it ended up being killed by high level republicans. You get a receipt at McDonalds, but not when you vote for President.

• During the Ohio recount, members of Triad came in, asked what the totals were for the particular precinct, then made some modifications to the tabulating machines so that the recount would come out accurate, and told the recounters this!! Additionally, several programmers and managers at Diebold have previously been convicted of computer fraud. One programmer in Florida has come out and said he was told by his management to modify the code in voting machines so that votes automatically go to Bush. Votes on electronic voting machines were often set to Bush as the default choice, so the people who did not want to vote for president automatically voted for Bush. There have been numerous complaints that the confirmation screen on these electronic voting machines had George Bush selected as the choice for president even though the voter had selected John Kerry. These machines continued to be used throughout the day even though this problem was reported. And again, no paper receipt for who you voted for, no paper trail to verify your choice. One voting machine gave George Bush an extra 4,000 votes. Some counties in Ohio AND Florida have many more votes for president than registered voters, or report 99% turnout on election day, and these happen to be in heavily democratic areas where Bush did surprisingly well. Every single reported problem and error with electronic voting machines has favored George Bush, and not a single one John Kerry.

• Exit polls are used internationally to identify problems with elections. On election day, exit polls showed Kerry winning both Ohio and Florida, as well as winning the presidency by a comfortable margin. Exit polls were accurate for states that did not use any of the above mentioned electronic voting/tabulating systems. From interviewing the same pool of people about their choices, exit polls were dead on for senate races, but mysteriously very marginally wrong for presidential choice. The exit polls are suddenly wrong for the first time ever. Additionally, the republicans want to outlaw exit polling in future elections.

There is a lot more than I mentioned. I would also link way more sources to statements above but it looks annoying if every few words there is a link. For more information and links to articles and sources, check out these sites:

• Election Fraud Special Report
• What Really Happened
• ReDefeat Bush

Embarassed, shocked, disappointed, sad, angry, outraged, and in disbelief are my emotions on this day. This really sucks, I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS HAPPENED. How can so many people be so dumb? This is just total amazement at the stupidity of these hicks. Al Gore was a FAR inferior candidate for presidency than John Kerry (ANY disagreements?), yet Gore wins the election vs Bush, then Bush runs the country into the ground and fucks the nation up hard-core, shows everybody how dumb he is, yet somehow he gets re-elected vs Kerry!?!? Once more - People think Al is better but George gets the job, George pisses most people off and gets the reputation of not being the sharpest knife in the drawer, John comes along and is superior to Al, but George still gets chosen. {Yeah that makes total sense guys!} WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!?!? Thanks a lot all you rednecks. And the South, home of holding on to {cool ideas such as slavery has once again proven it's worthiness}. The 90% of 18-24 year olds that did not vote should be looked upon with nothing less than offensive, shameful disappointment. This should not have happened. This is just wrong. Kerry should have been the President. Bush never won the presidency to start with. There's always a bunch of propositions on our California ballot, next time make sure you vote YES on Proposition Z - Secession from the United States of America. P.S. I hate how they use "W" to signify George W. Bush. W is supposed to stand for cool things, like Westside. I saw some bitch throwing it up on CNN the other night amongst some Bush supporters - now I don't even want to throw it up anymore - they've even ruined THAT! ;asdkljf;sdljkfaspdojbgopejifoejif

George W. Bush.... has got to be the worst president in the history of the United States of America. I cannot understand how one can logically vote for him in this election. I admit it, I voted for him in 2000, Gore didn't seem much smarter/better, I wasn't a fan of Clinton, and I had no idea that Bush was so fucking dumb, I'm so sorry and embarassed. If I could go back in time I would of course (as I believe most people) change my vote. I'm not a Democrat, and I'd like you to consider the following:

• Bush is dishonest. He rushed to war with Iraq under the cover of being part of the "war on terrorism" when Iraq had nothing to do with the terrorist attacks of September 11th. There were no weapons of mass destruction there. Most people were telling Bush this, but he wanted to invade Iraq so badly that the day after 9/11 he told his adminstration to dig up any dirt they could possibly find on Iraq, while being reminded by them that Iraq had nothing to do with it.

  I was opposed to this war from the start, where was this coming from? Even when it was thought that they had weapons of mass destruction my thinking was: If you know Iraq has weapons of mass destruction but don't invade, you *might* get attacked by them someday *maybe* (likely wouldn't even happen). But if you do go into Iraq you are going to piss off a lot of people and create many more terrorists and a huge anti-US sentiment (done), spend billions of dollars (done and counting), and lose many, many lives (done and counting). The costs far outweigh the benefits.

  And now it turns out there were no weapons of mass destruction, Hussein bluffed, bad/manipulated intelligence, well over a thousand Americans dead (1/3rd the amount that died due to the 9/11 attacks), thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians dead, everybody hates us, more terrorists are being breeded with even more reasons to hate America, and the United States is being bankrupted. Hussein is gone, that is good, Iraq is in shambles and might recover. In the long run, this war has been potentially good for the future of the Iraqi people (to be seen), and absolutely terrible for the United States.

• George Bush reeks of corporate corruption. How come virtually his entire administration is made up of former CEOs? We all know that CEOs look out for the interests of the people, not the corporations - YEAH RIGHT! Halliburton, etc - ridiculous. Most of the highjackers of 9/11 were Saudis, yet there's no crackdown towards Saudi Arabia in this "war on terror" because the Bush family is in bed with the Saudi Arabians. Additionally, with his idiotic means of presentation and communication, he seems like he is a puppet being run and told what to do by other interests in his administration.
• He is bankrupting the country. How many people do you know that have lost their jobs during his presidency? I can probably count at least 30 people I know that have lost their jobs. Before his presidency? I probably couldn't even count the people on one hand - I'm talking nation-wide, and close friends and family. The economy is not controlled by the president, but he is doing absolutely nothing to help us out. He is only making it worse by doing things like endorsing companies to send jobs overseas - real fucking nice. THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!! Billions of dollars that could be spent on making America better are being spent on making Iraq better, what the fuck.
• I don't know about you, but my health insurance plan has gone up 100% in price. ONE HUNDRED PERCENT in THREE YEARS. And I'm talking about some crappy-ass health insurance. It's gotten so expensive that I've had to downgrade my health insurance plan to an even crappier one just to be able to afford it. This is ridiculous, these billionaire health insurance companies are out of control. The Bush Administration is only helping them. There is no reason it should cost this much. This industry is corrupt and there need to be some regulations, caps, limits, (ethical police really) for the health insurance industry. And aren't you tired of every other commercial on tv being for a prescription drug???
• George Bush ignores information handed to him weeks before 9/11 that says Osama bin Laden is determined to attack within the United States using airplanes. Not terribly long after September 11th Bush says he "isn't really concerned" about Osama bin Laden and capturing him.
• Why did Bush knock down the towers?
• He is ruining the country.

You are not going to vote for George Bush, you are going to do the right thing and vote for John Kerry, who has some great plans for our country. I don't want to hear any garbage about you not knowing how he is going to do what he plans to, or that you are still not sure about his plans & ideas, he only wrote a book explaining all his plans and ideas, and has an informative website. Where is Bush's book of plans and ideas for the next four years? It doesn't exist just like it didn't exist in 2000. John Kerry also wrote a book in 1997 entitled "The New War", basically about the fact that the nation is going to have to seriously deal with terrorism in the future. Doesn't this seem like somebody who has a good head on their shoulders? He fought in the military in Vietnam, did not hide from duty like George W, was not a drunk and druggie like George W., his daughters aren't idiots, how obvious of a choice is this? Kerry cares about people, not corporations. He is going to try to really change things for the better in our country in the years to come. George Bush has no real new plans for us, you're just going to get more of the same bullshit that you have been experiencing and seeing on the television day after day after day. This is so obvious who to vote for.

+Finished NES Pinball FAQ.

The latest White Stripes album, Elephant, is sssso dope alright?... I can't believe how good it is. It just feels so good. This is quite possibly the best thing in rock since Nirvana. I think the record industry has some shit to learn from this white stripes release... mainly that a record made without using equipment dated past 1963 and for under $10k can CLOWN everything else.

After reading one of the worst books I've ever come across, Nothing In This Book Is True, But It's Exactly How Things Are, I read a book called Everything In This Book Is True, And It's Exactly How Things Are, more commonly known as Genome: The History Of A Species In 23 Chapters. Best book I've ever read, hands down. I recommend you read it. This book is not a technical breakdown or technical look into the genome. Rather, it is a book for the general public which takes a look into humanity, our history, how we work, why certain things happen, why things are the way they are, what might be possible in the future - based on what we have learned so far from studying the human genome. You do not need to have any genetic knowledge or knowledge of what the genome exactly is, there is a good primer at the beginning of the book for all this. If you have a general knowledge of what genes are and what DNA is, which everybody should, then you're good to go with this book. This book explains a lot, you will learn many things. Really the sequencing of the genome is one of the most important/significant events in the history of the human race, and seemingly nobody knows about it or has any idea of the revolution that is underway and will change the world. Extremely good, extremely interesting, you'll learn a lot of things about humans that will amaze you. Everybody should read this book. It'll be a while, if ever, that I come across a book about anything that beats this.

Thanks to Professor Merrifield, my College Anthropolgy teacher for recommending this.

For the past half year I have been going through every single Beatles album, after a friend gave them to me. Finally I have finished and I can't believe how great this band is. This was basically my first exposure to them, infact I (now embarassingly) used to claim dislike towards them - I threw them in my group of music I don't like (most music pre-1988). These guys however shatter that claim. Definitely one of my, and in my opinion one of the, top five bands of all time. Here's a list of my favorite Beatles songs in alphabetical order:

A Day In The Life, A Hard Day's Night, Across The Universe, All My Loving, Baby It's You, Beatles Movie Medley, Can't Buy Me Love, Day Tripper, Devil In Her Heart, Drive My Car, Eleanor Rigby, Free As A Bird, Glass Onion, Golden Slumbers, Carry That Weight, The End, Good Night, Help!, Here Comes The Sun, Honey Pie, I Feel Fine, I Saw Her Standing There, I Wanna Be Your Man, I Want To Hold Your Hand, I'll Follow The Sun, I'm A Loser, I'm Happy Just To Dance With You, I'm Only Sleeping, I'm So Tired, In My Life, It Won't Be Long, Johnny B. Goode, Julia, Keep Your Hands Off My Baby, Let It Be, Lonesome Tears In My Eyes, Love Me Do, Lovely Rita, Martha My Dear, Maxwell's Silver Hammer, Memphis Tenessee, Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown), Not A Second Time, Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da, Octupus's Garden, Oh! Darling, P.S. I Love You, Penny Lane, Pepperland, Real Love, Revolution( 1), Rock And Roll Music, Roll Over Beethoven, Sea Of Time, Sexy Sadie, She Loves You, She's Leaving Home, Sweet Little Sixteen, Strawberry Fields Forever, Thank You Girl, The Honeymoon Song, The Long And Winding Road, The Night Before, Things We Said Today, Think For Yourself, Ticket To Ride, To Know Her Is To Love Her, Tomorrow Never Knows, We Can Work It Out, What You're Doing, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Words Of Love, Yesterday, You Really Got A Hold On Me, You Won't See Me.

Thanks so much John, via Wolfgang from Germany!

Currently in love with my desktop configuration. I think this is my favorite ever. The situation is: GNOME 1.4 with sawfish and nautilus, themed out with AquaLightBlue for GNOME & AquaX for sawfish. I also have KDE 3.0 with Mosfet Liquid theme installed, hence the cool translucent menus in Konqueror, etc, all running on Linux of course. Thats a Quicklaunch bar on the bottom left, and the applets on the bottom right are (from left to right) Stickies, Weather, CPU Load, Network Load, Mail Check, and Time. Here are some screen shots!:

Joz3d.net, the second revision of my homepage, is done. As anybody who knows me knows, I'm pretty much over the web, but the homepage was still out there representing Joz, and I hate removing content from the web causing Not Found pages, so I figured I might as well update it, and add some new stuff I've saved up that I could share with the world as well. This new design is very modular so any future updates/additions can be very easily plugged in.

Also I would like to say that I was pretty unhappy about having a domain just for my homepage, as I'm from the mid-90s times when that notion was ridiculous. My previous host, however, shut me down due to billing confusion and loss of contact (my fault), and said I could not have my old style account back since they discontinued that service a long time ago and were just being nice keeping me on it. If I wanted to have a site with them I'd have to sign up for the new 3x as expensive service they offer with a required domain name. So I researched other hosting options and almost everybody gives you a domain name. I couldn't find a non-free provider that had a respectably short domain that would offer a not TOO difficult to remember URL. So I unhappily gave into current times and decided to just get the damn domain. Which pissed me off because I remember when joz.com was available in 1996! And now I basically had to get a domain and I couldn't have joz.com, it was just a little frustrating. But anyway looking at it now I think I like joz3d.net better than joz.com in the end. Whatever.
