Dad reports on the election campaign, from a Pennsylvanian perspective:
WGAL is monitoring election campaign ads. The latest is a Santorum ad where he identifies 7 Casey supporters who are under investigation. WGAL says 1 of the guys is dead at the current time. Only 1 of the 7 has contributed to Casey's senatorial campaign. But get this - *2* have contributed to Santorum's campaign. WGAL has different categories for the ads, like "true" or "misleading". This one was called "false". Ben Whatshisname (the reporter) was sorta apologetic about that, but he said their rating was fair.
The Full Story. You can also find stories about Casey's also-controversial ads.

In class today we had a short discussion about floating point precision and integer vs. FP math. I know. boring. So to spice it up, I came up with a FP vs. INT election with attack ads. So far, I have this for integers.
"IEEE floating points *say* they'll cut taxes, but what they won't tell you is that they'll cut bit-benefits for the base to give extra bits to big-mantissa." -Paid for by friends of 32-bit long ints.
"32-bits longs are pledging to spend 0xF0DDFOOD on new schools. Sounds great... until you check the SIGN bit. Their BIG spending is really a 253 million dollar CUT in school budgets. Whose looking out for YOUR children?" -Paid for by IEEE floating points and the guy that writes Marvin.
