You know what really had me terrified on Nov. 7?

Jennings has now filed suit with the same court, demanding a new election. She deserves one. But for the nation as a whole, the important thing isn’t who gets seated to represent Florida’s 13th District. It’s whether the voting disaster there leads to legislation requiring voter verification and a paper trail. And I have to say that the omens aren’t good. I’ve been shocked at how little national attention the mess in Sarasota has received. Here we have as clear a sign as ever that warnings from computer scientists about the dangers of paperless electronic voting are valid.

As far as I can tell, the reason Florida- 13 hasn’t become a major national story is that neither control of Congress nor control of the White House is on the line. But must we wait for a constitutional crisis to realize that we’re in danger of becoming a digital-age banana republic?

The Konigsberg Cathedral remains a landmark

The Konigsberg Cathedral remains a landmark, dating back to the 16th century (and still young at heart!). Displaying touches of gothic architecture, the cathedral can actually be considered unfinished because the western spire was never fully built. “Dah, Dah... but the cathedral is equally well known as the resting place of famed philosopher Immanuel Kant,” comes the insistent pestering of Mr. Final Word. Remarkably, post bombardment in World War II, restoration was never undertaken and this was flagged off only in the nineties.
