Kerry landslide -- False "spaketh"?
About three or four weeks ago, I posted my "spaketh" that Kerry would win in a landslide. I stated that if I was wrong, I'd be the first to admit that I was a screaming asshole.

I was about to make that admission last week when I heard Greg Palast state that the election was stolen. And then I saw Bev Harris's BBV activities.

My "spaketh" was pretty strong, and as I explained at the time, it wasn't the first I'd had. (The others came to be.)

I still can't shake my "spaketh" that we won, and won big. I don't know if it can/will ever be proved, but I am certain I'm not wearing a tin foil hat. This election was stolen and for right now, we are totally screwed.

7. A spaketh is
far beyond a strong feeling. My use of the term is a tongue-in-cheek takeoff on the Old Testament use of the term as in "...thus spaketh the Lord."

Not that I'm religious. I'm a devout agnostic. Nor am I claiming to have ESP. Nonetheless, I've had a about four experiences where I had advance knowledge of things that I couldn't possibly have known about.

5. How Do You Think *I* Feel...?
...I was the "screaming lunatic" that said that Kerry would get at least 56 million popular votes and 312 electoral votes. He got the 56 mil, but was nowhere near the 312 -- or worse, the 270 needed to elect.

I'm still finding it REAL hard to believe that bush carried the 14 million new voters 4:3. You'd think the mere fact that he CHEATED to get in the first time would have been all the GOTV we needed. How in the HELL did we get outhustled like that? It just doesn't make sense...

Something's real fishy here...
