Let Freedom Ringtone

* "Mother's view of the war Battle fatigue on the home front" sniffle. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2004/11/21/ING5A9T5EI1.DTL

* btw - that basketball fight was disgusting. where on earth did these people get the idea that violence is acceptable?

* krugman "So if you ask the question do we look like Argentina, the answer is a whole lot more than anyone is quite willing to admit at this point. We've become a banana republic... "And then eventually we have the great demonstrations, which I think are important to let the government know that many Americans are not happy with what is happening," he said." http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml;jsessionid=DYS3QNJBUARRYCRBAEKSFEY?type=politicsNews&storyID=6888422&pageNumber=0

* fwiw - i have some reservations about President Bush and his coterie

* is cnn's jane arraf the most annoying person in iraq? on tv?

* "Foreign observers have alleged that various abuses were used to inflate Yanukovich's totals and reduce Yushchenko's votes. These included the disenfranchisement of many citizens through faulty voter lists, the use of absentee ballots and mobile ballot boxes to allow multiple voting in support of Yanukovich, and illegal measures to invalidate results in districts favoring Yushchenko. There also have been allegations of direct computer manipulation of the vote count." pls make it stop. please please. shitehouse: "The (ukr) government bears a special responsibility to allow free media to report accurately on the situation without intimidation or coercion." i asked nicely... :-( http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-112404ukraine_lat,0,2214793.story?coll=la-home-headlines

* im prolly gently letting go of my default assumption that the ukr election was stolen toward a more neutral position...

* heres a wapo ed on ukr - go read http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A6032-2004Nov22.html

* attached pic is a clearchannel billboard in florida. scared yet? story here http://www.bluelemur.com/index.php?p=442

* "Associated Press said they didn’t plan a story (re billboard). They suggested that the signs would only become a story were there a public response to the billboards"

* speaking of which, when the amend4arnold amendment gets passed, is it possible that we'll also get rid of that pesky 2term constraint? seeing as we're making changes and all. i mean, if a furrner can be pres for 8 years, does it really make that much sense that an indigenous pres can only preside for 8 years?
