This is odd. Say you wanted to rig an election. How would one do it? What would be the easiest way to do it, without involving too many people? A good old fashioned "crisis." Scare people away from the crime scene so the dirty business can be done. Everyone knows that if Kerry was going to win he would need OHIO or FLORIDA or both. Those are the only two that would need to be messed with to assure victory for either side. In Ohio there was the famous "Warren County Lockdown" because of "terror" threats. What about the less infamous "Bomb Threat" at the State Elections Office in Tallahassee the day before the election. I guess my point is this....... The only two places that needed to "fixed" (Ohio& Florida) both had a scare tactic applied to a government building the day of, or the day before the election. If they both had the same "crisis" on the same day it would look odd even to people who are not avid news watchers.
The State Elections Office in Tallahassee holds what? The main tabulating computers. It would actually be easier to hack in the main tabulating computers before the actual election because you can place "kernels" in place and never have to mess with it again, and you would still get what looks like "actual" results. The Warren County Courthouse holds what? The optical scan equipment that can be hacked into and votes can be messed with from as low as the local level and as far as the state and national level. By doing it this way you would actually have control before and after the election and you run a smaller chance in getting caught because your using to different modes at two different times.
To get this done all you would need is 2 or 3 people in Ohio and Florida to get this done. Not an army of computer hackers. Does anyone else besides me notice that there were means, opprotunity, and motive here? This even explains the exit polls......

Thank you,

4. Making coffee wouldn't work with my crowd.

They'd take that as an invitation to stay on and have a cup!

Really, you shouldn't hint. Smile, say, "I've really enjoyed having you here. I hope we can get together again soon!" or something along those lines, then stand and get their coats. Or, if you have to get up early, just pleasantly say so. Most people will understand.

(Of course, if they have a silly sense of humor, you can always tell them you're headed to bed and they can ride home on the milk truck. :))

5. Put on your pajamas, and head off to bed.

6. Can't you have a terrible CD at the ready?

Some bluegrass at midnight would get my particular circle heading for the door, I'm sure!

I'll bet a Shostakovich opera might do the trick, too.

7. Ask them how they like their eggs,

cuz it looks like you might have to make breakfast ...

[alittlelark]

8. Start asking them if they feel a little sick

and that you are not sure if the crab in the crab dip was fresh.

9. I tell them it's time to feed my cats.

Usually they get the hint and split.
