 No exit - Salon
To this day, they claim that the exit polls -- which are compiled through interviews with voters just after they've cast their ballots -- tell us that most Americans attempted to vote for John Kerry.
Exit poll results were just one item in a long bill of election-fraud particulars that folks began passing around in the aftermath of the election.
The reason the exits were off, Mitofsky said, is that interviewers assigned to talk to voters as they left the polls appeared to be slightly more inclined to seek out Kerry voters than Bush voters.

 Jean Paul Sartre: No Exit
EAN Paul Sartre's No Exit was first performed at the Vieux-Colombier in May 1944, just before the liberation of Paris.
The drawing-room scene in hell, where there is no executioner because each character tortures the other two, has the eeriness of a Gothic tale, the frustration of sexuality, the pedagogy of existentialist morality.
No further argument seems possible after this sentence, and the play ends three pages later when the full knowledge of their fate enters the consciousness of the three characters and Garcin speaks the curtain line: Eh bien, continuous.

 SARTRE . ORG : The hell of humanity
To Jean-Paul Sartre, the existentialist author of “No Exit,” which opens Friday at First Presbyterian Theater, hell is not a place of fire and brimstone or eternal pain.
The circumstances and surroundings (no windows, no mirrors, no beds, no darkness, no privacy, a door locked from without) are all these three souls need to torture one another and themselves.
The three recently deceased characters in Sartre’s play “No Exit” discover at the outset that the afterlife for people of their questionable character consists of nothing more threatening than a French drawing room with inconsistent valet service.

 SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 100
In assessing whether an exit plan has sufficient detail, the staff would expect generally that a company's exit plan would be at least comparable in terms of the level of detail and precision of estimation to other operating and capital budgets the company prepares, such as annual business unit budgets.
The staff believes that all exit costs and involuntary termination benefits should be identified by specific property location and that no higher level of identification or aggregation (e.g., country, region, state, county, etc.) is appropriate under the guidance in EITF 94-3.

 Mystery Pollster: Exit Polls: What You Should Know
A quick summary of how exit polls work: The exit pollster begins by drawing a random sampling of precincts within a state, selected so that the odds of any precinct being selected are proportionate to the number that typically vote in that precinct.
The National Election Pool Exit Poll, which is conducting the exit polling for the six major networks today, will send exit pollsters to 1,495 precincts across the country.
It seems that since the exit pollers base their weighting on past elections, they will be even more unreliable this year than most given the large number of new or returning voters.

 I. Wallerstein, "Ecology and Capitalist Costs ofProduction: No Exit"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
In any case, this is why I say that there is "no exit," meaning by that that there is no exit within the framework of the existing historical system.
However plausible such a line of reasoning may be, it does not justify a situation in which one person makes a decision that is profitable to him at the price of imposing costs on others, without any possibility for the others to intrude their views, preferences, or interests into the decision.
If we start down this road, in terms of both the social system in which we live and the structures of knowledge we use to interpret it, we need to be very aware that we are at a beginning, and not at all at an end.

I chose the title for this piece by borrowing a title of a play by Jean-Paul Sartre, that cheery existentialist in early 20th century France who created such masterpieces of human drama and suffering alongside his comrade and lover Simone de Beauvoir.
No Exit is a fitting title for this clinical conundrum in which I find myself, and the ambiguity of that title underscores the pain which the human beings on both side of this real-life drama must bear.

 No Exit?, by Justin Raimondo
Listen up, soldier — your fate is of no importance to the warmongering clique that never served a day in the military and yet presumes to nurture Napoleonic ambitions.
Our military presence is the cause of the chaos, not the cure: the social fabric, always delicate, has been ripped asunder by the war, and the application of more force cannot mend what has been broken: it can only bruise the patient further.

 Sartre, No Exit
The traditional reading of Jean-Paul Sartre's No Exit, published in 1943, seeks to identify the various tenets commonly associated with Sartrean existentialism, namely that man is an absolutely autonomous individual, determined by his own will alone, for whom his consequent separation from others facilitates infallible liberty and free choice.
No Exit is widely regarded as the literary expression of another Sartrean work, Being and Nothingness, published the same year.
Sartre deliberately wrote No Exit as a one-act play so that theatergoers would not be kept past the German-imposed curfew.
