You might start with this.

Access will only get longer if they follow through on plans to close the road permanently at Olney Pass.

That looks like a pretty swell trip.

Oh, you mean like Katherine Harris? The allegations of tampering are not some fringe Truther bit, they're much more credible and substantiated than you'd like to believe. There have been some independent hacking trials that have shown just how easy it is to change the output from those electronic machines, and that paper trails are not necessarily a cure either. Here's a link to a BoingBoing article about the University of California Santa Barbara Security Group's test of the Sequoia voting system. link Voter fraud has been around as long as there have been ballots, but the ability to commit it on a larger scale has only gotten easier. It's not paranoia, it is the law of the marketplace: any practice that will give your product an edge must be employed, otherwise you fail your stockholders. Winning is more important than how you win. I'm not fond of absentee voting either, but that's partly because I always liked visiting with the little old ladies at the polling station, and there's something warm and fuzzy about voting in the company of your neighbors.

Yes, there's a pretty entertaining back story. Photog is Jill Greenberg and the magazine is The Atlantic. Greenberg actually sounds like quite an asshole, her earlier anti-Bush series featuring sobbing children entailed a most callous and inhumane studio practice. The Atlantic, who is upset with her use of the images, was pretty darn stupid to hire her to shoot McCain for the cover on a pro-McCain puff piece. Some of the other McCain pieces are over the top, who needs to see a badly photoshopped monkey pooping on McCain's head? These last two are spot on though, since they are absolutely true.

Oh, must be a Pete Doorish route. I bet you could track him down without too much trouble and get your info straight from the horses mouth. I've never heard of anyone I know climbing it, but it would be very interesting to hear more about the route.

Don't quit your day job.

Damn! I was too slow. I do notice that your taker chose to be anonymous. Be sure and post a TR.

Well, back in 1994 anyway. I believe he was the first to apply the term "quagmire" to the notion of an Iraq occupation. YENbElb5-xY

That's a remarkable photo archive, thanks.

Kevbone, I've been around here a little longer than you, so let me give you a tip: It's best for all involved if you don't tell Dru he's wrong. I suspect this route gets done fairly often, but people don't do trip reports here because a number of individuals will pitch predictable little tantrums. Sounds like "mission accomplished" to me.

Perhaps this statement explains his interest Edit: it had been awhile since I saw this clip, I'd forgotten some of the funny bits... "There's Luke laughing at someone different!"

Well there Grandpa Feck, you're starting to slip in the comprehension business too, Scott was saying he'd been looking at the line since Marc was in diapers. Back in '88 I don't think Marc had even been born!

You should stick to baseball threads PP...

though perhaps you were thinking of this:

Excuse me? Where is the restroom?

Well, it's not really a winner, so you're not missing much.

Here, amuse yourselves: go play with the spider Click Me!

works for me, you'd better kick your machine.

FW, when you gonna learn to not put your nose there?
