Yes, I get the same, a Compuserve search page with "page not found" message. Refreshing alternates between the jpg and the Compuserve page.

Interesting statistics :)

Re: [Merged] 2004 US Presidential Election
 

Whoa, lots of great stats there. Vast majority what I would have suspected. I thought that the latino vote was exclusively republican. They voted democrat by a huge majority this time.

Edit: It is also interesting how Fox are not allowed to show any praise against Bush in any way, yet Netscape and CNN are free and clear to call Bush an what they did. Pffffft.

I watched my Fahrenheit 9/11 DVD again tonight and it deepy saddens me that we have to put up with this idiot telling our PM what to do for the next 4 years.

No Michael Howard!! There was a news story a few weeks ago about him wanting to meet with Bush and Bush refused.

Actually it seems that it may be the other way around. As much as I hate to say it.

Apparently when bush came into office blair was the one who introduced him to the outside world. Explaining the middle east and iraq to him. When September 11th happened Blair made a speech which was put around the white house pinned on boards, on computers, in emails etc etc. It was the Speech about 9/11 "This is a moment to seize. The Kaleidoscope has been shaken. The pieces are in flux. Soon they will settle again. Before they do, let us re-order this world around us."

This went down well and bush was inspired by it. During the Iraq war it was blair who convinced bush to try for the UN approval.

Obviously I cannot confirm this, but this has been the line coming from books newspapers from people close to No 10 and the White house. Many people have said that Blair is quite a infulence on G.W. Bush and no one has suggested it is actually the other way around (apart from the cartoons and the media). I havent seen anyone close to either of them that suggested the relationship was blair sucking up to bush.

This is an old (I have posted it before, but maybe on .com) but very funny version of the State of the Union address.. http://staffweb.cms.gre.ac.uk/~cs39/...shwhacked2.mov

Before you click it, it's 14 Megabytes in size, so you dial up users will have to wait a bit for the download..

Re: [Merged] 2004 US Presidential Election
 

Couldn't be bothered to start a new thread, so.....


It's time for a change in Bush's Cabinet for his next term....


Attorney General John Ashcroft resigned last week :D :D

... but Secretary of State Colin Powell has also resigned :( :( (damn, the only member of the Bush team I - and a lot of the world - actually liked & respected)

"Condi" Rice is being promoted from National Security Advisor to Sec. State, to replace General Powell :erm: (oh well, better than having "Wolfy" running State).

Alberto Gonzales (currently White House Counsel) has been nominated to replace Ashcroft as Attorney General.


Rumsfeld is apparently/hopefully going to be leaving his position as Secretary of Defence :)

Oh, & Dick Cheney was in hospital again recently. Oh, if only he would just resign....
