Sarah Palin ballot stuffing.

I can't belie-- never mind. Yes, I do believe it.

PBS has an online poll out, and Sarah Palin's campaign is trying to drive up her saggy baggy numbers.

Do you think that Sarah Palin is qualified to serve as Vice President of the United States?

Right now it stands at 50% say she is, and 50% say she isn't.

Vote. Just because this is annoying. No. She is annoying.

But-- good news!

Sarah Palin clears *herself* of any wrongdoing over her firing Alaska's "top cop."

Hey, maybe we should change our entire justice system to Palin's version.

We'll ask the accused, "Did you do it?"

They'll say, "No."

And then they're cleared!

Hey, just think of all the money we could save dismantling the judicial system and just asking defendants if they're guilty or not! Wow, why didn't anyone think of that before?! :D

LOL!

The prisons would empty. We could-- we could use them as parking garages. Think of the possibilities!

And while we're sort of on the subject, have you seen the latest election news? (http://apnews.excite.com/article/20081011/D93NV52O0.html) Apparently "Barack Osama" is running for President!

Officials are claiming it's just an unfortunate error. Funny, but typos are usually either adjacent keys, or the key under the corresponding finger on the other hand. Substituting an "s" for a "b" is neither. :/

Asshole pro-McCain keyboardist should be fired. *boots*

I just love it--she clears herself! Yes, she MUST be innocent, because she says so!

God, I hate that woman.

My loathing of her knows no bounds. Awful people. They hounded that poor guy mercilessly.

Yeah, I'm going on record as saying that poll is seriously broken.

point 1: how can there be 0% undecided?
point 2: How come the results have barely shifted at all from when it first went live until now?

I think the poll broke under the strain. *g*

As soon as my computer is no longer broken, I shall watch this. *nods emphatically from the school computers*

Ack ... yes, I just saw you were having woes. *patpats you with commiseration over woes*

The link is totally safe for work/school ... well, okay, there IS a tiny bit of the character Buddy-the-gay-guy-from-the-bar in it, but nothing remotely past PG-rating, at worst. Probably G, actually. Also, even if you've never seen KITH before, the sketch will make sense. Buddy is just a bonus. ;-)

Enjoy!

I voted in that poll three weeks ago; and when I voted initially, the numbers were in her favor, so 50/50 is better than it was.

Right now Sarah is the top story at Huffingtonpost.com

Ah, Sarah. My favorite person. I bid her a happy adieu. How many days till the election? 25 or so?

First attempt: *click*: Input/output error at /shark/apps/pbs/www-mod_perl/cgi-registry/poll/poll.pl line 129.

Second attempt: results now stand at 49% - 49% - 0%. Do we really think this poll is working properly??

They may have broken it deliberately. PBS wrote about how both sides were tampering with the poll.
