gwb43.com: WTF Edition

Can Rep. Conyers order the National Guard and Marines (whatever's left of them) to surround Chattanooga already?

This high-tech system used to count and report the 2004 presidential vote- from server-hosting contracts, to software-writing services, to remote-access capability, to the actual server usage logs themselves -- must be added to the growing congressional investigations.

...That web-hosting firm is SMARTech Corp. of Chattanooga, TN, operating out of the basement in the old Pioneer Bank building. The firm hosts scores of Republican websites, including georgewbush.com, gop.com and rnc.org.

Arrest all Porkers, I say, and seize the servers!

UPDATE: OK, OK! That was kind of an authoritarian impulse, there. I blame Bush Fatigue.

How about this: offer free barbecue and a chance to wrestle Karl Rove in a tub full of Crisco to any Chattanoogans who "know stuff about the internets". And let's see who doesn't show up, eh? Is that non-coercive enough?

It's just the sheer absurdity of MULTIPLE 21st century high-tech political ratfucking operations being run out of a town known for its Choo-Choo.

These are the same servers they used to steal the election. Gee, I wonder if they have anything interesting?

But I still believe
And I will rise up with fists!!

update the link?

Can you edit your URL to point to the actual article:
http://www.freepress.org/departments/display/19/2007/2553

Alternet apparently steals whole posts and strips all the URLs off of them.

The original link works for me, so I made "Chattanooga" link to that one and "Surround" link to your URL.

Help the hamsters with their winter heating bill ...

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.
