gee so bush is a villain for executing a POW with no evidence against him? for starting a war? for being the second worst president of all time? oh and whats up with the war measures act, sounds like a legal version of watergate to me.

ahh, thought there’d be an explanation like that
hehe.. weird kind of tag – several line long, no wonder wordpress didnt like it

Yep, the “less than” sign is code for “open HTML tag”. So the rest of your post was essentially treated as a weird nonstandard tag, with many attributes. Wordpress is set to strip all HTML tags except the ones mentioned above the comment box – so it got killed. Sorry.

If you want to show < you need to use the HTML entity: &lt;

hey… were did the rest of my post go?
is “less than sign” “1″ “percent sign” some sort of code for “cut my post off here”

anyway, either a horde of less-than-one-percent-ers or some un-political high scorers got left off the poll, I wonder who else got voted for

Now lets see if it’ll show the less-than and percent thingy

Or a couple of lesser bad guys – you’d have to get almost all the missing votes to beat Bush, maybe they just left out some people who dont make a good political message but were still less than Bush

I know I’m splitting hairs but…..
Ok, I have no reason for splitting hairs except that its another possibility.

Whichever way it happened theres people they left out – either a horde of

Good point. Perhaps Bush is not the highest scoring villain on the poll, but the newscast from which this screenshot was taken only chose to show this sample for obvious political message:

“People think Bush is a bigger villain than the top 4 global bad guys and satan combined”.

They would have to get less than 1 percent to score lower than satan, 53% left to divide up, so 53+ other people (most likely many more since it seems unlikely that everyone would get just less than one percent

I dunno… it seems the only logical answer but I don’t think there are that many candidates for villain of the year

Unless there were other high scorers and they only showed the results for the politically topical ones (and satan)

No clue Matt. I guess the rest was irrelevant – most likely a long list of more or less known people who only got fractions of a percent.

But then again, who knows…

So where did the other 53% of the votes go?

You have to give Saddam some credit.
