exit polls were fooled with, not the machines, and that kept Dem voters home and not voting late in the day (after 2 PM). That day.. later.. Rove and Condi gave press conferences (CNN) where they stated that they new the exit polls were wrong.. and they tried to notify the press. I thought.. YEAH RIGHT! I'M sure this has to do with me.

A month later.. my banking was fucked with. Bank called. Someone placed a phony check in a bank machine I used to go to. Wasn't me. I made them pull the tapes. Was exhonerated. And now we hear they have banking records from everywhere.

?????

I think I'm just worried. I'm sure it was some other bunch of assholes who had a copy of my bank card, pin number, and knew where I banked.

Have not banked online since!

1. That's why it's so important
to always wear a tinfoil hat when posting or otherwise conucting business on line. I'm wearing mine right now.

2. Ha ha! I loved that I posted about exit polls and then Rove and Condi
came out that very day with public-taped messages that 'each' had valiantly tried to warn the news and concerned parties the polls were way off.

That was enough for me to stop me talking about how jerking polls is more likely than jerking machines. For a bit. I call the people who really believe that a massive vote switch by machine alone won 2004 for Bush..I call them speculators. Cause they are. There is no smoking gun. For me too. With my theory on why exit polls were off. I sure am glad that the press has decided to abandon such polling in the elections to come. That heartens me. I think they have at least acknowledged with that pledge that exit polls didn't do the electorate any favors the last time around.

Being on the internet is a little like being a part of a larger organism (as groups of people have always acted). A topic comes up.. it gets discussed that day in 10,000 places... and then you see it in the news. This was April a year ago when people were just starting the whole "how come the polls were off debate".

We post today about Bush massaging a world leader and the MSM does a story about blogs take on Bush's hands. And you know you are just part of something big and you were only one of 50,000 people talking of that.

Interesting nevertheless.

And when you get exploited..in a new and stunning way.. you look around and go..why?

No tin foil hat here. Just making a guess. How would I know any of it!
