Too bad it's not Hillary instead of Algore in this one. She would certainly require that all pregnant chads be aborted, even if she wound up losing...

roger I have been busy figuring out who is going to be our next president.....I think I got it figured out....there were 25 counties that used voting machines that used that stupid hole puncher device..........total democratic votes in those counties are 1852926 total republican votes are 1644629 ...or 208297 in the plus column for Gore....now in Palm Beach where they did do a one percent recount they found 19 additional votes for Gore and in that county the difference was 117000.....so if we extrapolate out gore would get about 1900 more votes if the number was 117000 but its 208297 so he should get about 3000 more votes from the recount across the state which at the end of the day will happen....how many votes to the plus will Bush get from Absentee...heard best guess on the news today is about 500 so if thats the case 300 he has now plus 500 or a total of 800 so it looks like not enough and Gore wins it by about 2200 votes.....I am sure this already is figured out in the Bush camp so expect big fights ahead to block the recount. election.dos.state.fl.us enight.dos.state.fl.us

*RE: "A Question For The Ages..."--LOL Bro!! So I guess this question hinges on whether the courts verify that a hand job is more affective and legal as opposed to an artificial chadistical means.* Buy votes low-sell high, Puna

Roger, Re: A Question For The Ages... An now we have Ms. Roberts, , caught in the act of fondling flaccid folios of Floridian follies freely floating flecks of felonious flotsam into the gossamer wings of the evidence bag. But my question is, if the chad is pregnant, isn't it of paramount concern to save the child? Is there a special clause for the late term chad? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Plagiarism alert: (attribution, D. Letterman - hey better keep an eye on him, he could be misdirecting the Election Letters after all) Ahem, speaking of the child: A statistical study has just been performed of the naming of new male babies since Nov. 7: Al: +2% George: +3% Katherine: +5% Chad: +20% ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Are we having fun yet? -Ray
