Single What? Female...

Once again..I go away for a few days...

and I get e-mails from friends with reports I oughta post, I actually get to hear Stephanie Miller in Boston, and...well all hell breaks loose and I got a lot to cover here...oh where to begin?!?

Well, we really should start with what I always have to start with: the one guy in the "mainstream media" who is actually keeping up the fight on voter fraud, Keith Olbermann. Today he discusses how Mr...you know, I can't call him Mr. Blackwell without thinking of the fashion guy (and it's an insult to Mr. Blackwell) so I think I'll just call him Secretary of State or SOS Blackwell, who has been AWOL when it comes to talking about the recount on Countdown, UNTIL, of course, there's a GOP report released entitled “Democrats Struggle to Justify Unnecessary Recount / (Jesse) Jackson swoops in to fuel conspiracy theories even Kerry lawyers admit are baseless.” He apparently has no reason to talk to the press until Jackson comes to town. Jackson apparently will be on Countdown tonight so you can see what he has to say in repsonse to Blackwell's allegations. But until then, you can look at the whole story (as well as Olbermann's entry about Jackson's weekend visit to Ohio) at:

As this recount continues, a senate race recount is happening in Washington State as that race was so tight that it has left the Republicans saying what they've been saying about the Presidential election: "Just get over it, [our guy] won!". But nope, a machine recount there-as reported on the news last night-showed the race as close as 42 votes...and a hand recount is imminent. Who knows, we may gain a Democrat in the Senate (if not in the White House) if all this gets cleared up. We shall see...

AND SPEAKING OF RECOUNTS and revotes and all...

You got people asking for a recount, and perhaps a whole revote, serious evidence of voter fraud, a grassroots youth movement, regional issues, one region even threatening secession, and international parties questioning the outcome of the election...Yep, we're still talking about the Ukraine. At least they have people getting loud and boisterous out there. Where are our people camping out on The Mall in front of the White House asking for a full recount, carrying boxes of evidence of the rigged election?
At least they appear to be gathering in Ohio. Apparently, according to a woman who called into Stephanie Miller's show this morning, there will be a rally in front of town hall in Columbus this weekend (Sunday I believe) protesting the vote irregularities AND Kenneth Blackwell. If you're in Ohio, head on down! If you live nearby, I say join the party! And perhaps we need to get some buses from elsewhere out there...road trip to Columbus anyone?

IN THE MEANTIME....

The President is in Canada this week and there was a group (check transcripts of Stephanie Miller show) that had actually written a letter asking that Bush be BANNED from visiting Canada. Oh if only we could ask the same thing here.

The Supreme Court essentially has "sidestepped" the gay marriage issue. Basically they declined to even look at the case...most likely, this is due to the fact that is a pure case of state's rights and they really can't do anything about overturning the Massachusetts decision. Scott McClellan, of course, had to "restate Bush's desire for a Consitutional amendment" (you can see this at www.wonkette.com) AND speaking of gays and the republicans who love them...the rumors are going around that the new chair of the GOP Ken Mehlman is gay...I'd like to hear his version of the GOP opinion of gay marriage ("The GOP, at present, agrees with the President that marriage is between a man and a woman; and as my lover is a cross dresser, this is allowing me special dispensation...")--you can also check www.wonkette.com for this story.

This is a great story sent to me from my friend Rob about what the real voter results look like through the use of various maps. The cartograms look a bit obscene, but the article is definitely worth reading as it deals mainly with how the results turned out according to actual population of each state and region...and how purple we really are...(as this has visuals, perhaps Bush could actually understand this)

And speaking of great stories, you really need to read the latest from Greg Palast (www.gregpalast.com) about the Ukraine vote...the title is: REPUBLICAN CHALLENGES PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION BASED ON EXIT POLLS (thank you Chip for passing that one on)

And here's yet another reason that Bush really should not be in office (or allowed to visit other countries):

Yes the Red Cross has found serious detainee abuses at Gauntanamo Bay. The above link is to the front page story of the NY Times, but you can bet there are also other stories everywhere...save for FOX news maybe..(cause you know them crazy muslims deserve whatever they're gettin').

AND REMEMBER...KEEP E-MAILING!!!! Voter fraud is something truly needs to be looked into. Bush may still come out the winner, but the principle is to make sure that our democratic process is not tainted...at least not as tainted as it appears to be. Other newly democratic countries look to our system as a guideline, and if our system ends up erratic and corrupt, how can they trust that it can truly work? (then again, they don't have W. and the Dick Cheney Army of Darkness...that's just the Ukraine). Call, write, e-mail and fax your friends, family, the press and your Congressfolk my friends. This truly IS for freedom.

Pass it on, pass it on, pass it on...

Peace --Alex
