Languish Presidential Election!

[mongers]

What out for some potential silliness out side Parliament and I Think the White House, Anonymous are apparently going to recreate a scene from 'V for Vendetta' or some equally hairbrained 'idea'.

#OPVENDETTA PRESS RELEASE

At 8pm on November 5th 2012, Anonymous will march on The Houses of Parliament peacefully and unarmed. This is the centrepiece of a worldwide Anonymous operation of global strength and solidarity, a warning to all governments worldwide that if they keep trying to censor, cut, imprison, or silence the free world or the free internet they will not be our governments for much longer.Change is coming

The Demands of the UK collective:

Stop the education, health and welfare cuts; Cut the causes of the problems, don't cause more.  'Austerity measures' targeting vulnerable areas of the economy and  society must be stopped. Bank support and bailouts using the taxpayers money must end.

Recognise the internet as an independent, self-governing, self-managing entity;  An entity that is not, and will never be, controlled. The rights of internet users to protect their privacy must be respected
......
etc.

I know they wear the mask from the lead character in the film, but it's still a Guy Fawkes mask, you know the religious fanatic.

I find it funny when leftists start sounding like Libertarians.  'Get the Gub'mint out of my Internets!'

[Grey Fox]

What can you do, the Gub'mint, especially yours, is too vested with private enterprises interest.

NV SecState says the only swing county in the state (Washoe) had 900 more Democrat votes than GOP votes in the early voting. Party members, I mean. Why that's troubling---"independents" here tend to be largely libertarians.

In 2008, Obama beat McCain in this county by about 23,000 votes. He won the state by 100k. So, if W Co. can only get 2k for Obama, Vegas will have to make up the difference. They can do it with the union machine they've got on the Strip (just ask Sharron Angle), but with the lower turnout this year I think it'll be closer.

Talk about kissing up to the in-laws, right?  Bet he's even downloaded Evita to his iPod.  Probably been practicing his gaucho bolos in the back yard on the dog, too.

Evita worship is for dirty illiterate poor people and American homogays.

What about heterogays?

NAME: GREGG RE
ELECTORAL COLLEGE PREDICTION:
Obama wins, 290 – 248

Nate Silver doesn't realize that the models and simulations he tirelessly iterates to the immense satisfaction of his superiors actually have a tragic, practical purpose. On Nov. 6, the electoral map will precisely match Silver's state-by-state predictions, revealing to everyone in the New York Times' secret command school that his gift for destroying the Republican threat is as real as it is powerful.

"I will program your battles now, not the computer," General Petraeus will tell the former baseball statistician, as CNN holograms systematically call Pennsylvania, Virginia, Ohio and Wisconsin for Obama, by massive margins. "From now on the enemy is more clever than you. From now on the enemy is stronger than you. From now on you are always about to lose... but you will win. You will learn to defeat the enemy."

For all the world like Ender Wiggin, Silver will immediately leave his jeesh and enter into a deep depression. Mankind, lacking a new enemy half as fearsome as Mitt Romney and the Republicans, will begin waging brutal, neverending war against itself. Millions will die, and Silver will become hunted for his talent.

Years later, Silver will come across an egg laid by Ann Romney on Newt Gingrich's moon base. Through telepathy, Silver will learn that Romney and the Republicans had come in peace. Taking the egg in hand, with a grin so wide it will threaten to split his face into two bloody halves, Silver will promise the queen that he will help start the Republican Party again on a new, more hopeful planet elsewhere in the Solar System.

What would be the consequences if Puerto Rico became a state and started sending representation to the Congress?

Two Democratic Senators, and about five* Democratic Representatives.


*This would probably go down to four, as they'd have to pinch theirs from a few other states.

Congress could always just expand to 440.

Is the House chamber literally filled to the brim? Why has it remained the same size so long?

Apparently the House chamber has 446 physical seats.

Not sure how they handle seating during the State of the Union.

24 hours until I get to vote. 48 hours until we know who our president is. 72 hours until I won't have to listen to another freaking election commercial for at least a year.

Yay!!

That's a bit optimistic, don't you think?  Midterms are coming up, and it's never too early to turn on the taps of filth and smear potential opponents, their wives, their kids, their lovable family pets that were gifts from Texan admirers.

Yeah, I know about that law. But that doesn't answer the why.
