Administration prepping for Democrat controlled congress: Shredding services show up at Cheney’s.
“Spotted on 10/19, by an eagle-eyed Wonkette reader: The Mid-Atlantic Shredding Services truck making its way up to the Cheney compound at the Naval Observatory.”
By all accounts, electronic voting is going to be a fraudulent mess
“Debra A. Reed voted with her boss on Wednesday at African-American Research Library and Cultural Center near Fort Lauderdale. Her vote went smoothly, but boss Gary Rudolf called her over to look at what was happening on his machine. He touched the screen for gubernatorial candidate Jim Davis, a Democrat, but the review screen repeatedly registered the Republican, Charlie Crist.”
Bush: I can declare martial law
Boing Boing post on Bush giving himself the ability to declare martial law:
It’s easy to get scabbed over about the Bush White House’s assault on the Bill of Rights, but every now and again, they rip loose with an attack so egregious, it rips the scab right off. Between the right-to-torture bill and this one, it’s clear that Bush intends to bring back the pork-politics glory of the Cold War by reinventing the Soviet Union on American soil.
