Click here to learn about more voting shenanigans

Do you remember a terror emergency in Ohio during voting? Neither do I: but apparently there was one in Warren county, during the vote count. A terror emergency which election officials said meant that they had to count ballots in secret.
Also emerging irregularities in Florida voting. Apparently this guy is the only one in the mainstream media reporting on this stuff.
I think we should keep on this stuff, it doesn't mean we aren't going to keep fighting for the future as well. I don't think it would be squandering energy to keep this stuff in the public eye. We should keep fighting for last Tuesday, and for the future.
Someday the actual vote count will come clear. If Kerry only lost because Bushies undermined the election process, then his entire presidency will have been illegitimate, all 8 years. And THAT is what history will remember about Bush: that he illegally obtained the presidency of the united states to advance his fundmentalist christian, imperialistic regime.
History will note that all the people of the united states, of the world for that matter, were just an entrepenuerial enterprise for him; history will see us as resources Bush exploited to gather the "political capital" he needed to secure his place in the history books, as a more important president than his father.
Very oedipal, actually.
Now, a sad fact. To offset that sad fact, immediately after that I will post a link to a happy website; just so you guys don't get too depressed.
Found out today that Fallujah had a population of 300,000 people. It is estimated that 100,000 civilians have fled. The current estimate is that between 100,000 and 200,000 civilians remain in the city, to be injured or killed during the present offensive. I don't have a cite for this, just heard it on NPR on my way home from class.
