Programmers lay easter eggs out for Kerry supporters at FL Times-Union
The programmers for on-line version of the Florida Times Union have laid a little easter egg for Kerry supporters....

Go to http://www.jacksonville.com/ and on the left hand side near the top is a block called "Search Centre"
Now,
Type in Kerry and press go ---> you are sent to JohnKerry.com
Type in "bush" and press go ---> you will be sent to myflorida.com

And outher serach term sends you into the sites archives.

The underground at work.

4. Unlike the president, I am curious ...
I have been scavenging swing state papers for endorsements using the brute force method (using local papers search engines) --- I was stunned when I came across this.

6. The Kerry search seems to have already been disabled
The Bush one goes to Flordia, but I'm not sure the point of that.
