A good friend of mine sent me a couple of interesting articles, first about the recent election:

It seems that Kerry actually won the election. Quite a large number of votes were thrown out in Ohio, most of them from minority precincts that would've been very likely to vote for Kerry. If those votes were counted as they should've been, Kerry would have been the president-elect right now. You know, this makes me REALLY sick to the stomach. While growing up here in the United States, I was taught that this country was the finest example of a democracy, what with our elections every four years, our checks and balances, and the mulitiple party system. However, that isn't the America we are in today. When I asked my family and friends the following two questions:

"Do you love America?" "Yes, of course."
"Do you love America as it is today?" "No, not at all." were the common answers. I believe that says a lot about the 49% of the US that actually has an ounce of brains. Unfortunately, majority rules, and the other 51%, which is made up of mostly hicks, is making the rest of us look bad.

It is impossible for the jet fuel to melt the steel that caused the World Trade Center buildings to fall. It is a very long read, but worth it because it does raise some questions about events that took place on September 11th, 2001. And if you don't believe it, check out the references which can be found all over the page.

And lastly, check out an amusing but true graphic about the correlation between the average IQ of people in a certain state and the candidate they voted for in 2004. (Click to enlarge)
