Found at Joi Ito’s Web: Someone at CNN.com has a sense of humor…. Just doing my part to spread the love.
[Update: Apparently, the culprit is someone at Netscape, a CNN partner.]
As for the election, I’m very disappointed. Kerry may have been a bit wooden, and may have not been as repetitive and focused as the populace would have liked, but four more years of Bush is terrifying —not just for me, but for the whole world, it seems. Say what you will of Dan Gillmor, but I believe he’s right when he says:
There’s no secret about what’s coming. We don’t have that excuse this time.
Kerry was not wooden or awkward. He is a dignified, dynamic man and wise man with a good heart. The republics keep getting actors and puppets to play “everyman”, but John Kerry was working for everyman. And to paraphrase John Stewart, he for one wouldn’t want to “have a beer” with Bush, because he finds drinking with an alcoholic “tacky”. He wanted a leader he could look up to. There is great irony in the “moral majority” voting the most immoral administration in power. Karl Rove did his groundwork by sending mail-outs and building Bush’s base, so come the debates they were all too ready to ignore the truth and believe the lies and rhetoric.
