i see dread, people

* if 43 is impeached, does cheney become pres? or can u impeach them simultaneuosly?

* "Concession speeches, no matter how moving, can be retracted, which - to quote a colleague - would be the mother of all flip-flops."

* nyt headline "Vote Fraud Theories, Spread by Blogs, Are Quickly Buried" dmg ctrl. the interesting thing of course in dmg ctrl pieces is what they leave out. eg it doesnt say 'suspicions were raised further when warren county officials decided to count in private (and lied that they had been told to do so by HLS)' http://www.nytimes.com/2004/11/12/politics/12theory.html (the story is the 2nd most emailed at nyt)

* sydney morning heralds top viewed story "Truth over September 11 has been buried, millionaire's ads suggest"

* ""In Fallujah, [the Americans] have created a new vague target: [Abu Musab] al-Zarqawi. Almost a year has elapsed since they created this new pretext and whenever they destroy houses, mosques, restaurants, and kill children and women, they said: 'We have launched a successful operation against al-Zarqawi.' The people of Fallujah assure you that this person, if he exists, is not in Fallujah ... and we have no links to any groups supporting such inhuman behavior. We appeal to you to urge the UN [to prevent] the new massacre which the Americans and the puppet government are planning to start soon in Fallujah, as well as many parts of the country."
- October 14 letter sent by the Fallujah shura (council) to UN Secretary General Kofi Annan" http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/FK13Ak04.html

* apparently we are now up to 80% in fallujah. woohoo. 85% must be just around the corner...

* apparently the ams have offered to help rebuild fallujah at some point in the future. that should help them win a heart and a mind or two.

* is arafat getting more media coverage than reagans funeral? it must be a slow news week.

* "The report by the United States Commission on Civil Rights is a scathing 166-page assessment of an administration that has, at best, neglected core civil rights issues." http://www.nytimes.com/2004/11/12/opinion/12fri2.html
