“Hacking Democracy” HBO Special – Full Video

Posted on 6 November 2006 by Gnorb || Comments: 0 || Topic(s): Politics.

Somehow, some way, this HBO documentary made its way to Google video. I went voting yesterday and heard more than enough people talking about this. Remember: call your local Supervisor of Elections and make sure you can get a paper ballot. When I went voting yesterday there were no more paper ballots, so call ahead [...]

Jim DeFede interviews Max Linn. (MP3 download) Good stuff, very pointed.

Doesn’t quite have the ring to it that “We’re #1!” does, does it? Yet, that’s exactly where we rank in the area of press freedoms according to Reporters Without Borders. “But the terrorists hate us because of our freedoms, don’t they?” I guess we’re starting to cozy up to them.
