uselessness

Once, again, Diebold voting machines FAIL overwhelmingly; exploitable security bugs claimed to have been fixed aren't fixed; it should be criminal, but somehow it's still not. Meanwhile, Congress fucks up and punts back meaningful reform. Thanks, bipartisan wanktitude! Oh, and also, thanks, Senate, for expanding warrentless surveillance, too, to the Chief Executive's whim. Liz Mair discusses it a bit. jwz has a great photo. Last chance to stop it will be in the house. I wonder if it's possible.

This bullshit is why we need two new parties, not just one. Maybe three or four would be nice.

ETA: Well, hell, too late already. Passed the house. NEW PARTIES NOW.
