CNN.com Election 2004
Using Java and Flash as well as HTML, CNN has set up a pretty nifty looking election results site. Using Netcraft, I determined that CNN.com runs Apache on Linux.
Netcraft also has some interesting news about DOS attacks on electoral-vote.com, an electoral college prediction site; plus, the author of the site is Andrew Tanenbaum, the author of Minix.
Senator Kerry calls this a "tragic milestone," and the most catastrophic of the administration's mistakes made so far. Regardless of his mistakenly voting for the war at the time, he's right. For him to turn against the Iraq war is a flip-flop I would be happy with. Hopefully he has an exit strategy, even though he's not telling us about it at the moment.
This is why Bush must be defeated in November. I realize the economy is an important issue, but compared to 1000++ dead soldiers? Come on. Not to mention 7,000++ wounded, and the 11,000++ estimated by the Iraq Body Count . This is a slam dunk, as George Tenet would say.
Prediction: if Bush is [re]elected, the U.S. will engage in pre-emptive war against Iran and/or North Korea. Is that really what we want?
