Ted, I always had special affection for Gorton from the Salvage Rider aka "Forest Health Preservation Act" days. We must clearcut the old growth to save it! Somewhat out of tune with the new Washington St., I'd say, I doubt if the hitech big bucks guys really like to see clearcut mountainsides, though Gorton did his best carrying water for Bill Gates.
As to the Seminole absentee ballots, yeah, I've been following that too, see Message 14844332 . I remember an AP wire story on that one from a couple days after the election that I though I posted here, couldn't find that though. Amusingly, google picked up a pre-election story on that, insidecentralflorida.com
(10/31/00) -- If you mailed in a GOP postcard requesting an absenttee ballot from Seminole County, there's good news today. Officials say you may get your ballot in the mail after all.
And if you didn't mail in a GOP post card, tough noogies, you might vote for the wrong side, so you don't deserve a ballot.
Cheers, Dan. |
