A BUZZFLASH INTERVIEW
People ask me: Are they going to steal the 2008 election? No, they’ve already stolen the 2008 election. We still have a chance of swiping it back, but the reason I’ve expanded and put out the new edition of Armed Madhouse is to tell you how they will steal in 2008, and what to do about it. That’s one of the main new things. Plus a special chapter on New Orleans and my bust down there.

You might say, since the 2000 election, BuzzFlash and Greg Palast have shared many a foxhole in the fight for democracy. He’s a workaholic, like we are — and he doesn’t flinch one iota in investigating the powers that be.
One of the things that makes Palast such an incredible asset is that he is in the I.F. Stone tradition of his doing thorough research. As much as he’s built up a Sam Spade sleuthing persona, it is grounded in his ability to shift through large piles of documents and data that most modern reporters would just look at and cry, "No way, I’ve got to meet someone for a daquiri."
Mainstream jounalism in D.C. is built on the "easy story," as in the one that is handed to you by the Executive Branch. Actually, Palast doesn’t work in D.C. much at all. He is out traveling around the country — and world — doing actual investigations into what is really going on.

From Reuters India:

ST. PAUL (Reuters) - Republican candidate John McCain said on
Wednesday that if elected president, he will capture al Qaeda leader
Osama bin Laden.

"President Clinton had opportunities to get Osama bin Laden.
President Bush had opportunities to get Osama bin Laden. I know how to
do it and I’ll do it," he told ABC’s "World News" in an interview.

"I understand and I have the knowledge and the background and the
experience to make the right judgments. Senator Obama does not," McCain
said in a reference to his Democratic rival for the White House, Barack
Obama.

McCain, who was a Navy fighter pilot and spent five years as a
prisoner of war in Vietnam, said Obama "doesn’t know how — how the
world works nor how the military works."

Well, Jesus, what the fuck are you waiting for McCain? If you know how to capture bin Laden, you need to do it now! That’s a $25 million injection for your dying campaign! Get your cardboard box, your stick tied to string, and 72 virgins and go set the trap!

If only you can catch him, then why the heck do we need to wait until after the election for you to do it?

Please buy me on of these stealth helicopter R/C toys. They’re only 30 dollars and are available from everybody’s favorite store: thinkgeek.

In February, the Air Force lost a 1.4 billion dollar airplane in an accident caused by a malfunction of the plane’s sensors. Enjoy the video, because you’ll probly not see another crash this expensive for quite some time.

Steve Ballmer (probably) loves his money. In fact, he could easily afford to have a suit sewn out of crisp 100 dollar bills, if he wanted to.

So what’s 45 million dollars in Hungarian tax-payer’s money? Practically nothing.

Ballmer was accused of corruption today at a Hungarian University and then attacked with eggs. I don’t think the egg tosser got the 45 million dollars back, though.

I’m calling the 1-800 number right now to order this. I wonder if it’s still only $19.99.

• Hillary wins PA primary effectly killing me inside.
• I found out I owe Vermont 320 dollars.
• In order to stop owing Vermont money, I have to put in several hundred dollars worth of repair to my car, then inspection fees, then registration fees.
• My paycheck bounced and the store I work at is going out of business. Yeah, I got charged overdraft fees and a returned check fee.
• Blowback on the great (stupid) biofuel idea.
• OLPC is dropping linux for windows.
• Super cool UFO’s in Arizona? No, it was a fucker.
• Goodbye, 4th amendment.
• Lastly, there is no god.

The Asus EeePC 900 will be realeased May 12, and will cost $549 in the US.

Australian Company Calls WiMax a Disaster

from wired

When ink and pen in hands of men inscribed your form, bibedal P

They draw an altar on which God has slaughtered all stability

No ice could ever soak in all the places you annoint

And yet to see you all at once we only need the point

Flirting with infinity your geometric progeny

That fit inside you oh so tight with triangles that feel so right

Your ever-constant harmony says flaw is discipline

The patron saint of imperfection frees us from our sin

And if our transcendental lift should find a final floor

Then man will know the death of God where wonder was before

Yeah, I know this pi **** backwards and forwards

Check it out

Bip bi-di-di

I did 3 chicks then I pointed at the door

A girl entered in so that made it 4

I snapped one time in came another 5

Add ‘em all up and that makes 9

The average age 26.5

Now that’s what I call gettin’ some pi

5 of the chicks wore 6-inch heels

2 of the 9 squealed like seals

514 was the area code

Quebec, Canada my winter abode

And my 1.3 million dollar chalet

Pi backwards, pi forwards, all night and all day
