The spirit of America? WISKEY! Olde Geo Washington made $300k distilling 11,000 gallons of it while birthing a nation on the side. America, FUCK YEAH!!!

speaking of copyrights, movie- and music-industry lobby groups are trying to press a ridiculous copyright law through congress; it would be legal to edit out sexy or gory content (via Tivo or whatever), but illegal to skip commercials, among many other absurdities.

misterpants once said:America is complicated. I kind of love it, but I also kind of hate it.
Right on.

Woah. Alaska is voting on whether to legalize pot today. How did this get under the radar?

Hmmmm: this guy (who is pro-Bush), reworked all of the state polls to reduce the margin of error, and the results are not good for Kerry. Also tries to show that the "incumbent rule" is not really meaningful.

"Critics - especially from the right - will dismiss "Mosh" as a shrewd attempt to boost record sales by capitalizing on the tide of anti-Bush populism. Yet, Eminem has truly made a leap with "Mosh." In his first four albums - despite pointing out the absurdities of American politics and culture - his mantra, ultimately, was "I just don't give a fuck." Never before has he advocated for political change. Even if the song's late arrival gives it a limited impact on the vote, Eminem's pronounced political shift should send shivers through the largely unchecked right wing establishment." -- Alternet.org

I've been reading electoral-vote.com for a while, but I've always had a problem understanding how, despite there being way more red than blue states, the race is so tight. I understand the electoral system, I just couldn't visualize it. But then I noticed they also have the map in cartogram form: each state sized according to its electoral votes. Now it looks like a close race.
