Security researchers in the States say they have developed a cunning new method of "fingerprinting" voice calls that could offer a route to trustworthy caller ID and a barrier against so-called "vishing" or voice phishing.

How? “The computer system detects resentment in conversations through measurements in decibels and other voice biometrics,” he said. “It detects obsessiveness with the individual going back to the same topic over and over, measuring crescendos.”

Two Oregon political parties and a state senator on Monday sued Oregon Secretary of State Kate Brown over her decision to abbreviate party names on the ballot this year.

State elections officials said the three-letter abbreviations were needed because of a new state law allowing candidates to list the backing of up to three political parties next to their name on the ballot. The "fusion-voting" law was aimed at giving minor parties more clout by allowing them to cross-nominate major-party candidates who would presumably compete for their support.

I'm part of the campaign team to promote Debbie Tharp to the California state 70th assembly district. and Mike Binkley to congress for the 48th district. It a rare event to see a Libertarian candidate on a ballot. Going up against the well financed right and left parties is most definitely a challenge. We could use all the support and publicity we could get. Please support us. Both candidates would be available for interview on your airways. Please help us get the message that it doesn't have to be two-party system.

This is familiar behavior from Jones. It’s why we love him. He’s a like a bulldog. But Morgan’s behavior was suspiciously out of character.

Piers Morgan is loudmouthed blow hard who can hold his own against someone raising their voice. I’ve seen him interview Jesse Ventura, and Ted Nugent about gun control and he meets their volume. Those guys aren’t much softer than Jones. In fact, when Morgan debated Larry Pratt on gun control, he shouts Pratt down.

But against Jones he’s utterly calm. He doesn’t interrupt. He doesn’t raise his voice. Why the change? Well I have a theory.

Arkansas Libertarians finally get a voice, even though voting really doesn't change much for the better.

The political machine continues to be running scared of the magnitude of Ron Paul's impact on their charade, and will continue to stop at nothing to undermine his ability to become President Paul. The most recent developments of the 'Gingrich fails to make ballot in Virginia' debacle. << Should have known that sounded too good to be true...

Playwrite David Mamet (American Buffalo, Glengarry Glen Ross, The Spanish Prisoner) wrote this op-ed for the Village Voice to christen the 2008 election season. For those unaware of Mamet, he is notoriously liberal.

Here's the "nutgraf": "And I realized that the time had come for me to avow my participation in that America in which I chose to live, and that that country was not a schoolroom teaching values, but a marketplace."

So, so much for Iraqi Freedom...how much will it cost during the "recession" to change all the signs, retrain all of the soldiers, re-film all of the episodes for the Armed Forces Network, cut the commercials again for Voice of America...just pass the bill to the poor "citizen"...
