on edit: is it just me or is he laughing in our faces?

1. Doesn't sound that harsh to me...
To me it sounds as if he is suggesting that Bush has taken over for good, kind of a subtle dig on the imperial dreams of BushCo. Not sure though, I could be a complete idiot ;)

6. I disagree. Some elections chairs really don't like voter-verified ballots
They seem enamored with their own infallibility. This includes elections chairs of both parties.

5. Maybe he's just kidding? Perhaps not.
Call the RSVP number and ask.

I grew up in Tarrant County, in east Fort Worth. I went to Eastern Hills HS.

7. this can't be real
nobody would revel in the loss of a paper-trail.

14. He's saying"Thank God I'm retiring & don't have to deal with all this"
any more. Probably no hidden meaning there--except to share insider terms with co-workers. (IMO)
