   This image of McCain reminds me of one of the minor characters in the Simpsons. Can anybody recall the character I mean? Pictorial evidence preferred.

   More, more more…. can’t we turn this into a game or a contest? So many possibilities, so little time before the election….

   Speaking of which — don’t miss the article in the current issue of the Rolling Stone by Greg Palast and Robert F. Kennedy Jr on purging voter rolls and stolen votes

   Also a great project: if they stole your vote, steal it back!

   It’s Moe, but I can’t think why.

   Do you believe in UFOs?

   An uncomfortable feeling on hearing this on the radio… may be the aliens can save us.

   Brazil uses heat-seeking planes to uncover Amazon’s lost tribes

   Antenor Vaz, the coordinator for isolated tribes at Brazil’s National Indian Foundation, said the system would allow authorities to locate tribes without disturbing their way of life.

   “We have been using planes more and more, not just to monitor [isolated tribes] but also to find new references,” he said.

   But even the use of small planes brought “disruption” to the tribes because they flew at low altitude, he said.

   Brazil’s isolated Indians hit the headlines in May when aerial photographs of a tribe near the remote border with Peru were released. Several of the tribesmen could be seen firing arrows at the plane.

   Mr Vaz said the use of body-heat sensors mounted on planes flying at high altitude meant the tribes would not even know they were being monitored.
