Why were all those Lawyers laughing and celebrating last night? I don't feel like laughing and celebrating. Did they get paid? I didn't get paid. I'm losing my shirt in the market. I never get paid. I'm on the Bush team, did not even get a trip to Florida. Did they fly down there first class?- I never get to fly first class. We won three times, do we get to move to Washington-? Nooooooooooooooo, Mr Bush has to pay rent. Sheeeeeeeeeeeeh Who pays for all those Governers and Congressmen to fly to Florida- are they all rich.? It can't be our taxes, I'm so poor I won't have to pay taxes. The government may even have to send money back. Why did I invest in those tech stocks.? Theres no money in tech stocks. Sig (sore loser)

Judge Saul rulings. I will not be able to understand a ruling if it permits less than full manual recount in all counties. An eighth grade student could tell you that the sample recount from Palm Beach county was so skewed in favor of Gore precincts it was meaningless and did not prove that a recount there would have a greater or lessor chance of affecting election result than a recount in any other major (high vote) precinct or county. The lawyers keep talking statistics and counting in determining who wins, while at the same time discarding all the normal precepts of statistics,saying you cannot count here, you cannot count there, you must count only the Democratic precincts because thats what the law says. And the recount must be conducted only on the punch card ballots because that where the most mistakes were made and thats where the voters intent was most difficult to determine. No, no- this election must be decided by recounting only the worst data, the most uncertain data, using mystics of of Democratic persuasion to divine the intent of the voter from defective or unmarked ballot cards. Well, H%%l, if you counted only the more accurate data from other precincts, it might PROVE one or the other of Candidates won and the Courts would not have to change the election laws. Sig
