Bush Blows Debate: Talks to Rove in Earpiece!
During the Presidential Debate Bush made what may be his most costly error- he exposed that he?s using an earpiece to help him answer debate questions. In the middle of an answer bush said, "now let me finish" as if someone was interrupting him - yet nobody did - he was talking to the person in his earpiece.

Listen - Let me finish
Even Salon, which is semi-mainstream, published an article entitled Bush's mystery bulge with a photo of Bush from behind where there is clearly some sort of box between his shoulder blades.
Maybe they will have to pat down the candidates tonight. Or maybe even do full body cavity searches to ensure no cheating.

FBI seizes Indymedia servers

Rackspace has offices in the US and the UK. Independent Media Center, which is better known as Indymedia, was set up in 1999 to provide grassroots coverage of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) protests in Seattle.
Rackspace complied with the FBI order, without first notifying Indymedia, and turned over Indymedia's server in the UK. This affects over 20 Indymedia sites worldwide, the group said.
Indymedia said it did not know why the order had been issued as it was issued to Rackspace. Rackspace told some of the group's volunteers "they cannot provide Indymedia with any information regarding the order." ISPs have received gag orders in similar situations which prevent them from updating the parties involved on what is happening.

Tonight's debate showed the difference between the ways that the two candidates view issues. Dubya lives in a world of black and white, good and evil. Kerry had a chance to explain that complex issues are more complicated than Dubya's labels.
I thought for minute that Bush might take a swing at Kerry. He was yelling and posturing like a tough guy. So basically he looked like a different type of idiot tonight. Before the debate I watched Love Actually in which Billy Bob Thornton plays the big bad President who visits London and bullies them. That is how this president acts. I'm ready for a change.
