   Four more years.

   This is how the right wing is going to win the 2004 election -- by convincing companies that make voting machines to get friendly with election officials and pushing the whole security risk issue under the rug, because those security holes will let them change just enough votes to win Florida and California. When someone steps forward to suggest that the machines were hacked, they will be laughed off, because there's no paper trail and thus, no proof of tampering. Why else would they approve a law that requires a paper trail, but not until 2006?
   The media won't bother to follow it up, either, because it's too technical for them, and besides, mass media is all corporate and benefits from the leaders currently in power, so why rock the boat? After all, war gets better ratings than election fraud.
   Anybody hiring technical writers in Toronto? I think I can learn to handle really cold winters...

   Apparently you haven't seen the Pew study last week that shows many Americans, and a majority of newsroom employees themselves, believe the mass media is strongly liberal.
