After reviewing the election results by county, the Bush administration is looking into amending the U.S. Constitution to apportion votes by hectares rather than utilizing the Electoral College:
If that fails to pass the stringent process for amending the Constitution, variations such as “1 Bible = 1 Vote” will be considered.

Five Stars: “Trivial Pursuit SNL Edition is fun. There’s over 2000 questions about Saturday Night Live. Don’t buy it if you have been watching it for less than 10 years because most of the questions are about old sketches, cast members and characters. The DVD part is a lot of fun because you get clues to the questions, your timed and the game goes a lot faster. If you like Saturday Night Live and you have been watching it for a while you should buy this game.”[empahsis, mine]

It’s dark, and far away, but this appears to be a depiction of some sort of assault on Fallujah.
From Madeleine Bunting’s “Screams will not be heard“, the Guardian, November 8, 2004:
In an age of instant communication, we will have to wait months, if not years, to hear of what happens inside Falluja in the next few days. The media representation of this war will be from a distance: shots of the city skyline illuminated by the flashes of bomb blasts, the dull crump of explosions. What will be left to our imagination is the terror of children crouching behind mud walls; the agony of those crushed under falling masonry; the frantic efforts to save lives in makeshift operating theatres with no electricity and few supplies. We will be the ones left to fill in the blanks, drawing on the reporting of past wars inflicted on cities such as Sarajevo and Grozny.

“Does President Bush have a “mandate” for his second term? You would think that a man closing in on 60 million votes might be in a strong political position, but that’s not what many influential liberals and leftists are arguing this week.
“Mandate, schmandate, they say.”
– WHAT W WON, John “Norman’s Son” Podhoretz, The New York Post, Nov. 9, 2004.
Hey Johnboy, are schmandates frum? (Not that Frum, jagoff.)
