im a wanton president

* "Today Publisher Sander Hicks announced a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington D.C for Monday October 25, 2004 at Noon to introduce the authors and announce the publication of "American Assassination: The Strange Death of Senator Paul Wellstone."" can sander hicks buy any lifeinsurance? from memory, it was hicks/hatfield who originally posited the 43 drug/communityservice idea

* tucker carlson is telling people not to vote. thats the best the repugs have got. and thats why the suppression campaign has been so so strong. what else are they gonna pull outta their hat to the same end?

* again - my guess is that its not that they care how many people turn up - but rather that they have a plausible storyline for stealing the election. thats also why they are happy to get called on dirty tricks - cos in their worlds, dirty tricks are somehow somewhat legitimate, (eg Republican Party officials in Ohio took formal steps yesterday to place thousands of recruits inside polling places on Election Day to challenge the qualifications of voters they suspect are not eligible to cast ballots." http://www.nytimes.com/2004/10/23/politics/campaign/23vote.html) and a cover for stealing the election via diebold or the ap agggregation (remember that 'test' article?) or whatever. its difficult to know what a 'low' turnout will be - but if the repugs win and the turnout is lower than expected, there ought be some eyebrows raised. or a whole lotta rioting in the streets.

* from what i can gather through the teeve leaves, my *sense* is that jonk is actually comfortably ahead. which would normally be good news... be careful what u wish for and all that... i cant find a comforting answer to the question 'what wouldnt they do to keep power?'

* in case u had any doubts, crice isnt even pretending that her latest speeches are campaign events. talkingpointbytalkingpoint. "she did not deviate from the misleading contentions on U.S. foreign policy of the Bush-Cheney ticket" if am gets attacked b4 the election, condi is soooo sacrifical toast.

* nyt is doing the 'Little Evidence of Qaeda Plot Timed to Vote' thing as well. it is also entirely anonymous. whats going on? why did wapo and nyt both do 'no threat' stories at the same time, apparently independently, all anon,and theres no 'news'? neither mentions dayton. i dont get it. and that increases my nervousness.

* "On November 2, the entire civilised world will be praying, praying Bush loses. And Sod's law dictates he'll probably win, thereby disproving the existence of God once and for all. The world will endure four more years of idiocy, arrogance and unwarranted bloodshed, with no benevolent deity to watch over and save us. John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, John Hinckley Jr - where are you now that we need you?"

* spinspinsugar "In positive news for the administration, the poll found that 85 percent of Iraqis want to vote in the January election.
Despite the current strife, about two-thirds of Iraqis do not believe civil war is imminent, the poll found. Asked if their households had been hurt by violence, injuries, death or monetary loss over the past year, only 22 percent of those questioned said yes" and this nice one: " 47 percent of Iraqis support Allawi for a seat in the new parliament. But rebel Shiite cleric Moqtada Sadr has 46 percent backing him." http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A52674-2004Oct21?language=printer
