I was at the Ohio State Fair today

[ck4829]

Everything was pretty cool.

And then...

I saw Ken Blackwell's stand.

But, that wasn't the worst part.

This is what really happened next.

A cold chill went through my body and a strange soul tearing feeling coursed through my veins, and I didn't know why this was happening.

I then realized for the first time, I was only feet away from a Diebold machine.

Regardless of what you believe about Diebold machines, there is much more to these things than meets the eye.

I'll be answering questions, I did some minor snooping, what do you want to know?

1. Did'ya see any intelligent life?

[ck4829]

3. A lot of Anti-Choice people and RW'ers were there

I saw the Ohio Civil Rights Commission though, and that gave me a spark of hope.

5. How were the corn dogs?

Did you have a funnel cake?

Did you ask about how humidity affects their machines?

How easy to hack....such as: tabulate these numbers, but print these numbers instead.....

[ck4829]

6. LOL

I had some pop and French fries.

These machines look very suspicious to me.

[AVESGA]

7. Were they registering the butter cow to vote?

Ahhh... the Ohio State Fair... all the smells in the world at once!

11. Way back in 1979

I saw Sha Na Na at the OSF. First concert.

Hey, when you're 10, a live Bowser is the coolest motherfather on the planet, damn it.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

13. WTF was it doing at the fair? There for Repubs to pile on more votes for

Schmitty?

[LittleClarkie]

14. I'll be doing that on Tuesday

First time ever.

I'm manning the booth from 8-11 for the Bryan Kennedy campaign and Waukesha County Democrats. Bryan is the guy who's trying to oust Sensenbrenner from WI-5.

I expect hostile vibes. Should be interesting. I'm alittle nervous. I hope I don't try to strangle anyone.

15. Did you hear the Twilight Zone Theme Music?

Did it bear any signs saying:

DO NOT PLAY IN, ON OR AROUND THIS MACHINE

[ck4829]

17. Yes

There was a woman who didn't want my sister or her friends getting too close to the machine.

[Tsiyu]

18. I knew it

Just like a Walmart Dumpster......

Seriously, that is some freaky shit.

I once saw a guy driving a Diebold Van. I so scowled at him and gave him two thumbs down. He grinned sheepish at first, then the vote ho took off outta the parking lot pretty quick. Maybe I wasn't the only one ever to exhibit disapproval?

[WCGreen]

16. I pray for your soul......

Was Blackwell by the cow shit where he belongs?
