tanks for the memories

* heres one reason why the exitpolls were out. "The exit pollsters were clearly identifiable, through logos plastered on their clipboards and logos on the questionnaire, as representing a consortium of the major broadcast news organizations: (NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, and CNN.) The logos of the big three, NBC, CBS, and ABC are far more well known than the logo for Fox... Bush voters who are suspicious of the major broadcast networks" didnt wanna talk to pollsters becuase they couldnt recognise the fox logo. really. http://msnbc.msn.com/id/6446237/

* "David Cobb of the Green Party told a California radio station late yesterday afternoon that he is “quite likely to be demanding a recount in Ohio,”" http://msnbc.msn.com/id/6210240/

* "The day after the election, the Times reported that Bush's new CIA director, the politically programmed Porter Goss, was moving to undercut and alter an 800-page report on 9/11 by the supposedly independent CIA Inspector General." http://villagevoice.com/issues/0445/barrett.php

* heres leedens idea for a sane world. "I hope 43 wants a real War Cabinet. He doesn't have one now... State: Zell Miller. Defense: Jim Woolsey. NSC: John Bolton or Paul Wolfowitz." dog help us http://nationalreview.com/ledeen/ledeen200411090750.asp

* "The study found 2.19 times the number of heart attacks or strokes among patients given Pfizers Bextra, compared with those given placebos. Merck recently withdrew Vioxx, a drug similar to Bextra, after a longer and better-controlled study showed that it doubled the risk of heart attack and stroke... "The magnitude of the signal with Bextra is even higher than what we saw in Vioxx," Dr. Garret A. FitzGerald, a cardiologist and pharmacologist at the University of Pennsylvania, said in an interview after presenting the data. "This is a time bomb waiting to go off."" http://www.nytimes.com/2004/11/10/business/10drug.html

* yesterday i wasnt sure about the tanks in LA story - "And I also just read a NEW excuse the military is now offering. The tanks "got stuck at a traffic light," and that's why they just happened to stop in front of an anti-war protest in the middle of a major US city.
UPDATE: I've just read in the comments to the IndyMedia site that someone spoke to some military folks who claim the tanks were "lost" and simply stopping in front of the anti-war protesters to "ask directions."" california uber alles. california uuuuber alles. california comitatus. (it still seems to be a single sauce story - so im still not sure it actually happened) http://americablog.blogspot.com/archives/2004_11_01_americablog_archive.html#110014496845303568

* "Asked if Pataki could run for president in 2008, Finkelstein responded: "Bush's victory not only establishes the power of the American Christian right in this candidacy, but in fact established its power to elect the next Republican president." ... Finkelstein is also described as claiming Bush is more interested in banning abortion than he is in winning the war in Iraq." http://www.nypost.com/news/regionalnews/20393.htm

* "Two New York newspapers received calls from the Bush-Cheney campaign during the Republican National Convention urging them not to run a story suggesting that the campaign manager and public face of the campaign (Mehlman) was gay" http://www.bluelemur.com/index.php?p=412
