I've gotten prerecorded freakin' phone calls from W, Jeb, and Ahhhnode today! The last few days were mixed parties, today's all republican!” 2:56:08 PM 11/02/04 “Ha! Jerry Brown "called" us the other day. BowlderGal hung up on him! One year, Barbra Streisand "called" us. I tried to ask her about her latest album, but she just kept on talking! last edited: 11/02/04 2:58:34 PM” 2:57:38 PM 11/02/04 “Lol!” 2:58:50 PM 11/02/04 “Ewker, I find the debates to be useless when trying to know the candidates. I like to listen to them answer and elaborate on direct questions. For instance, all you hear is Bush is against stem cell research. Then I heard that was totally wrong. The Federal gov't funds stem cell research already. Bush just wants to limit how much he will spend so the tax payers don't fund the whole thing. He wants some of it funded by private funds just like with cancer and other diseases. I saw Bush on with O'Reilly, and he was quite clear about what he is doing with health care, the elderly etc. Kerry refused to go on the show, and I don't blame him, because Bill would ask him specifically how he plans to fullfill his promises and ideas. So far, I've never seen Kerry get into specifics on anything.” 2:59:40 PM 11/02/04 “Kerry was afraid O'reilly was going to hit on him!” 3:02:03 PM 11/02/04 “Treebeard, what a second, lol. Did you mean hit him or hit on him? What he should really worry about is Bill getting his home number and talking dirty to Mrs. Kerry, lol:)” 3:05:45 PM 11/02/04 “Yeah, Bill's quite the stud, ain't he? lol” 3:07:12 PM 11/02/04 Astronaut votes from outer space! “With a quick computer key stroke, space station astronaut Leroy Chiao (search) became the first American to vote for president from space, casting an encrypted ballot via e-mail and urging fellow countrymen to go to the polls Tuesday. "It was just a small thing for me, but it is important symbolically to show that every vote does count," Chiao said from the international space station a few hours after the polls opened 225 miles below. Chiao, 44, sent in his ballot Sunday night — "Halloween night and maybe that's kind of appropriate."” 3:08:02 PM 11/02/04 “I wonder what a hanging chad looks like in zero gravity!” 3:09:34 PM 11/02/04 “R” 3:11:12 PM 11/02/04 “That's about right, I guess...” 3:11:59 PM 11/02/04 “Halloo, effryvon!! I am so glad to see so many uff you haff voted! I tried to keep my luffly, but liberal vife avay from ze polls, but she hit me viss a 2x4 - ha, not really. No politics in ziss post - just get out and vote for somevon!” 3:17:49 PM 11/02/04 “I voted for John Kerry. Before I voted against him.” 3:21:32 PM 11/02/04 “i did it, i did it! before today, i was a voting virgin.” 3:30:49 PM 11/02/04 “And how do you feel now, Lyra? ;)” 3:31:50 PM 11/02/04 “Did you light up afterward, Monkeybutt? We are all proud of you.” 3:33:06 PM 11/02/04 “it was cool! except i didn't put on my damn sticker, and as soon as i walked outside, this old lady started berrating me about "where's your sticker girlie, aren't you proud to be an American?" daaaamn, pushy much? but it was exciting.” 3:35:01 PM 11/02/04 “Good for you, lyra!” 3:40:27 PM 11/02/04 “I remember when I became american citizen. I was the so exited to be able to vote. Now if I just wouldn't have to think twice about the person that I want to vote for. I don't think I ever knew right away...this is the person I want to vote for. I always had my doubts.” 3:41:43 PM 11/02/04 “I never get the stickers. Sometimes people are obnoxious about it and sometimes they aren't. I just keep walking.” 3:44:18 PM 11/02/04 “We don't have stickers.” 4:01:49 PM 11/02/04 “early voting on Sat. Waited 2 hours at that!” 4:02:57 PM 11/02/04 “first thing this a.m.” 4:14:01 PM 11/02/04 “Very cool Lyra!” 4:16:16 PM 11/02/04 “I'm glad I turned my absentee ballot in person. Cause I got a sticker! Hooray!” 4:27:14 PM 11/02/04 “The news says the stock market will go up if you vote for whoever is in office currently. That is the trend. Got stocks, vote Bush!” 4:29:31 PM 11/02/04 “Stock market sure went up when Clinton beat Bush 1.” 4:30:28 PM 11/02/04 “No line at all. It will probably start getting bad after work.” 4:30:41 PM 11/02/04 “I was able to go at 2:30, no line” 4:36:27 PM 11/02/04 “I voted a split ticket this morning.” 4:36:59 PM 11/02/04 “thank you, thank you very mush! i'm glad you feel me about the stickers, dayhiker. i mean, just b/c something is true, do i have to advertise it to the world? i might as well have a sticker on me that says "I'm an idiot!" if that's the case! hahaha...” 4:42:48 PM 11/02/04 I did it “I voted at lunchtime. There were 250 people before me. Expecting an 80 percent turnout locally” 4:43:56 PM 11/02/04 “I was at the poles at 6am..it was kinda like going to the dentist..I just wanted to get it over with!!!” 4:46:56 PM 11/02/04 “I understand the stickers if it was a work issue. For me it's not, so why waste a sticker?” 5:08:14 PM 11/02/04 Hey Monkeybutt!!!!!!!!!! “I wuz a virgin too, before this election! A'course I popped my hangin' chad six weeks ago, hehe. Them overseas ballots are aiight! Nice thread BowlderMan, are you still plannin' a trip this way in April???” 5:12:34 PM 11/02/04 “oh boy here they come on MSN Bush up so far with 60 percent of popular vote” 5:12:42 PM 11/02/04 “Hey Ape! Nah, we went in August. Didn't spend a whole lotta time in Italy, so I didn't re-contact you. It turned out, coincidentally, that bongofreak, who moved to Switzerland recently, ended up camping out near a place we visited only a day or two after we were there!” 5:16:40 PM 11/02/04 Bear for Rep “I wrote in my name for DC Shadow Rep and Advisory Neighborhood Committee.
