Um...

Okay. I admit it. I'm Karl Rove and I have been using computer viruses to control all of your minds while blogging. Now that the election's over, I can finally reveal my true identity and take a well deserved vacation to Hawaii (under the guise of analyzing why we didn't win it, of course). Aloha!

He's the one who gave us the gradient background image.

Which of us is the Manchurian Blogger?

I don't know, but John Schultz is the kindest, warmest human being I've ever met in my life.

Hey: I found some more evidence of Rove's machinations!

Have you ever seen Eric Johnson and Karl Rove in the same room?

I knew it.

Forget Rove. You guys are more powerful than slashdot; you've brought the server to its knees.

I wonder if Dan Rather is suffering from Serotonin Syndrome?

Comming to a theatre near you:
It's The Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy Rides Again!

(cue background music: Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor)

The scene: An average American couple walking along the street, on their way to the polls.

He: "I've made my decision- it's gonna be Kerry, or nothing!"
She: "Same here!"

Suddenly, a Bella Lugosi impersonator- clad in full tuxedo and cape- leaps from out of a darkened alley to stand menacingly before the couple.

Evil, Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy Count:"Loooook into my eyesssss! Loooook into my eyesssss!"

Stunned and mesmerized, the couple stand, locked in place by the Count's gaze .

EVR-WCCount: "You vill vote Republican! You vill vote Republican!"

Lightning flashes, followed by the rumble of thunder. The couple begin to move forward, stiff-legged and zombified, droning: "We will vote Republican. We will vote Republican."

Evil laughter ensues, as the Count draws his cape about him, and glides off, searching for another unsuspecting victim.
