* " Are you ready for the dirtiest week and a half of politics since Eve got talked into that bite of the apple? A man in Defiance, Ohio, has been arrested for registering false Democratic voters in exchange for crack cocaine. The charge is election fraud, which the GOP says it is gravely concerned about. This smells -- and not just of smoke, either. Meanwhile, at the other end of the state, John Kerry's name was deleted, accidentally, from absentee ballots that were delivered to the Forest Park neighborhood, a predominantly black section of Cincinnati... People are already inflamed, and the closer the polls numbers are in a state the more inflamed they tend to be." that last sentence is interesting, if not surprising. i wonder if its true. it seems that the more inflamed people are, the more likely they are to vote and it seems that the more voters, the better for jonk. praps jonk wins all the close states! which should make him pres.

* tomfriedman post-holiday "Even though the situation is still salvageable, right now Iraq is a terrible mess because of the criminal incompetence of the Bush national security team" http://www.nytimes.com/2004/10/21/opinion/21friedman.html?oref=login&hp

* algore " It is ideology – and not his religious faith – that is the source of his inflexibility. Most of the problems he has caused for this country stem not from his belief in God, but from his belief in the infallibility of the right-wing Republican ideology that exalts the interests of the wealthy and of large corporations over the interests of the American people. Love of power for its own sake is the original sin of this presidency... The essential cruelty of Bush’s game is that he takes an astonishingly selfish and greedy collection of economic and political proposals then cloaks it with a phony moral authority, thus misleading many Americans who have a deep and genuine desire to do good in the world.... But for the Bush team, it is all part of the same pattern. Lie, intimidate, bully, suppress the truth, present lobbyists memos as the gospel truth and collect money for the next campaign." algore should be president. this is a looooong speech - but its perhaps the most damning and comprehensive indictment of the jihadmin around. http://moveonpac.org/gore5/

* 43 is doin the $2.2 trillion thing. which is funny cos his # is $3+trillion.

* cnn interviewed some recently retired cia 'spymaster' - 'Mr Habit' or something? - he said that people at the agency were very very nervous back in august about a pre-election attack - and he says he's seen nothing to make him believe that things have changed since then. i hope someone is reading the pdbs. meanwhile - condi is out campaigning. sweet.

* nice to see mr bliar bendover again. i havent a clue what is going on there.

* "Blair’s acquiescence to this newest manifestation of Bush’s hopeless strategy for Iraq should seriously question any lingering love for Blair among American liberals." http://www.prospect.org/weblog/archives/2004/10/index.html#004505
