Door Prize Results
While I was toiling at the mine today (literally) the state of North Carolina got called for Barak Obama.
Thank you for all that participated, it was an incredible, historic evening.
We have our winner. Kevin was contacted and he responded with the correct code phrase. Here’s what he predicted:
1. Winner of Florida, McCain or Obama?
Obama
2. [...]
Somedork Election Party
Alright dorkders, I’m announcing the first quadannual Somedork Dot Com Election Party.
If quadannual wasn’t a word before, it is now. I invented the word ‘dorkder’, I’m going to add ‘quadannual’ to my list too. If I get too more crazy I’m gonna need a glossary. And you know what they say about the size of [...]
Debunking The Obama Intends To Redistribute Wealth Attack
As promised, I am now going to proceed with the second viral email debunking. This email was written by someone my parents know personally, so I will redact the author’s name. The author is a fine and intelligent person whom I happen to disagree with on this political issue.
Here is the email:
Clear thinking [...]
Obama Rumors, Setting The Record Straight
The campaign is winding down. What used to be taboo political attacks are now becoming common place. The internet is abuzz with false emails, blogs that have phony allegations, and other forms of nonsense. Even my sacred haven, World of Warcraft, was bombarded in the general chat channels with political debate– most of it lacking [...]
Crazy Season In U.S. Politics
Once every four years we go through this. The final 2-3 weeks of a presidential election, and suddenly it seems like anything goes. This is the timeframe that brings us the long anticipated “October surprises”. Bringing up your opponent’s DUI of 20 years ago, terrorists releasing videos, claiming your opponent “pal’d around with terrorists” when [...]
Third Debate: McCain Loses Popularity Contest
To my three readers out there (whom I fondly refer to as dorkders) I offer you my analysis of the third and final presidential debate.
I watch the debates on CNN. This is the only channel I can view the proceedings in full HD glory. Hey, if you got the technology, use it. I would [...]
5 Reasons Why Obama’s Lead Is Not Safe
Obama supporters can certainly take heart from the way polls are trending this past week. States that have long been thought safe GOP are suddenly back into consideration (see Missouri, Florida, North Carolina, and Ohio). This is an amazing series of events, and could lead to a wild ride in October. McCain and the 527s [...]
First Debate Analysis: A Narrow Obama Victory
Overheard Last Night:
No wonder McCain opposes direct talks, he wouldn’t talk directly to Obama all night!
So last night it finally went down. The backdrop for this debate was certainly bigger than most. The economy is in a once in a century crisis, the Republican candidate threatened to be a no-show, and the race is tight, [...]
Five Things Obama And McCain Will Try To Do In The Debate
Five days from now John McCain and Barak Obama will meet in their first presidential debate. The topic of this debate is foreign policy, a topic which voters see McCain as better able to handle than Obama (if you believe polls).
Interestingly, the original topic was supposed to be the economy, but the Obama campaign [...]
Republican Viral Email Debunked
Today I got an email from my mother, attached was an email she’d received. The email seemed fairly innocent enough, but upon further examination, almost the entire contents are complete and unfettered malarky (to use a Joe Biden term).
This one sort of got under my skin because it is somewhat believable. Unlike the “Barak [...]
