Zogby says...

Voter fraud really does need to be looked at and it's not just the crazy people asking about it. He was on Olberman's show Countdown last night and said:"I’ll take this opportunity right now to say I think that it’s in the interest of healing this country and restoring some unity to this country for us to have a thorough investigation of what happened both to the election and with the exit polls.” You wanna see the rest of what he said? Head over to:

I also would like to thank Keith for bringing up Richard Lugar's statements about the Ukraine elections. I was wondering if anyone else was seeing the irony in having Lugar listing all these (rather familiar) examples of voter fraud that must be investigated...in the Ukraine; but certainly, we didn't have that here....

And just to show that there are some more people paying attention to all this, Friday night, Stephanie Miller will be on with Wolfe Blitzer. She apparently said on the air today that she has no idea what they're going to talk about "but you bet I'm going to get voter fraud in there..."

IN THE MEANTIME...Over the weekend, I was visiting with my sister and a couple of her friends, one of whom did not want to watch the news. "It doesn't relate to me; tell me how this relates to me!" Well, one friend talked about how with the war in Iraq, gas prices have gone up and while he himself does not drive, his husband does therefore there's more money that's gotta go to gas rather than to food and bills, etc. This young man is also of drafting age, and should there be a draft, he'd be up for it. His husband is a teacher and is going to school as well and with the latest spening bill which includes serious cuts in education, this could mean that his husband could end up losing his job, that the youth program he works with could be cut, and if he's gotten any money for school this year, he may not next year. Also in this bill, there were severe cuts to clean air/water funding and research, it may be nice where they live now, but think of what could happen in the next few years as they could end up watching the lake that they live by end up polluted. AND with the economy in the shape it's in, as this young man has his own business, there may be fewer and fewer people that can afford his services, therefore he could in some time, unless things change, lose his business. Oh, and if you hadn't noticed, they are a gay couple...we won't even go there. Sure this is all fairly general, but there is a reason to watch the news, and to make sure they report everything, too, that relates to YOU. Such as, you gotta figure it's pretty bad when members on BOTH sides of Congress FINALLY think that the horrendous spending at present is pretty bad...

SO AFTER ALL THIS...I'd just like to say HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!! Have a fantastic holiday with all your friends and family. I will be away from the computer through Monday so I'll see y'all on the 30th (unlike Keith Olberman, I will not be able to blog from my Secure Undisclosed Location).

Peace, Love and Good Food --Alex
