how non-Americans can have a say in the US election

Tue Oct 12, 2004 at 07:34:51 PM PDT

The Guardian has a piece on how non-Americans can have a say in the US election. They are running a system to allow people in the UK to send personal letters to voters in one Ohio county. They also offer advice on legal donations that would help (they suggest NAACP or the Christian Coalition depending on who you support).

the British start pulling out of Iraq!

Check out this story in the Guardian.

ridiculous font sizes

Can we please have the default font option in Display Preferences fixed?

it's a plot to make us go blind

Mon Oct 27, 2003 at 12:46:46 AM PDT

Scoop seems to be working fine on this site, but I can't change the font size in my display preferences! Is it a plot to make us all (or all of us with large high-res monitors) go blind staring at invisibly small text?
