Current favorite conspiracy theory of the day: Sen. Obama wins the presidential election, the Republican Party claims rampant election fraud ... - ReluctantCynic Oct 15, 19:41 12
- That's so '00 and '04. I predict an Obama landslide, McCain concedes as a gentleman, and the verdict on Obama - GJOSHGREEN Oct 15, 19:48 3

  - Cheney been attending McCain rallys? -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 15, 19:43 3
    - So what? Cheney doesn't need a reason. He probably likes to shoot people in the face. -- nm - VMan Oct 15, 19:46 2
      - No, the point was that some people at McCain rallies have been calling for Obama to be killed -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 15, 19:51 1

  - I agree. He started out very well -- forceful and measured -- but now he's borderig on unhinged. - ReluctantCynic Oct 15, 19:21
  - Agreeance. He started out okay but he doesn't seem to be able to maintain any grace or steadiness. -- nm - Diva Oct 15, 19:18 4

I wonder how badly Amazon is beating iTunes in the download department. - JaxSean Oct 15, 19:14 10

  - I'm hesitant to download from Amazon - I got one album and it sounds like crap on my iPod/iTunes. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 15, 19:41
  - No kidding, iTunes can't even compete with the ease of downloads and drm free music, playable on any player and moveable to any computer. -- nm - Trish Oct 15, 19:35 2
    - But most people don't give a crap about that (myself included). They have an iPod, the music plays on an iPod. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 15, 19:40 1
      - Yeah people are sooo much more interested in incompatable formats, constant updating, and syncing technology. -- nm - Qale Oct 15, 19:42
- I lurve Amazon's mp3 downloads. But since I always have to complain about everything, they're almost TOO good in quality. Quite large files there. -- nm - Qale Oct 15, 19:26
- They're probably not, but I just bought that considering it's less than I spent buying 4 singles off Under the Iron Sea. -- nm - Tim Oct 15, 19:20
- not in Canada -- nm - zork Oct 15, 19:18
- yeah, I use them pretty much exclusively now. -- nm - Callisto Oct 15, 19:15
