    The requests, mailed to all 88 counties, were expected to arrive by Wednesday.

    ONE SEGMENT of progressives reacted to George Bush’s victory in the 2004 presidential election with despair. “Maybe this time,” Nation magazine columnist Katha Pollitt commented bitterly, “the voters chose what they actually want: Nationalism, pre-emptive war, order not justice, ‘safety’ through torture, backlash against women and gays, a gulf between haves and have-nots, government largesse for their churches and a my-way-or-the-highway president.”
    Liberal author Garry Wills concluded (…)

    By David H. Hackworth
    We’ll soon have 150,000 U.S. troops stuck in the ever-expanding Iraqi quagmire, a number that will probably grow even larger before Iraq holds elections presently scheduled for the end of January ’05.
    Maintaining such a force is a logistical and personnel nightmare for every grunt in Iraq. And according to several Pentagon number crunchers, it’s also driving the top brass bonkers.
    Meanwhile the insurgents continue cutting our supply lines and whacking our fighting (…)

    KYIV, Ukraine (AP) - Vasyl Fylosov and Sofiya Kirichenko came to Kyiv from different regions to join round-the-clock protests in support of opposition presidential candidate Viktor Yushchenko.
    Result: two golden rings and a bride’s veil in the opposition’s signature colour, orange.
    Freezing temperatures, close quarters and the lack of basic amenities such as hot water and clean bathrooms have helped create a unique romantic atmosphere for thousands of young people who settled in the (…)

Dean hopes his influence can steer the Democratic Party away from future electoral defeats.

    America: Many information technology professionals know in their heart they could design an election system that could be trusted. We all wonder why we have a system this far out of kilter with expectation. What I see is that Americans are just now waking up to the realization that even if the 2004 election was not rigged, it certainly could have been. Three partisan-owned election companies control how your vote is counted. If you think this is ok and we should trust the machines and (…)
