    Open Letter to Mike Jacobsen of Diebold:
    Two weeks ago I asked John Kerry to pull America out of the water. http://www.yubanet.com/artman/publish/article_15689.shtml
    Now I am asking you, Director of Global Communications for Diebold — and the one that I now realize has the real power — to begin to fix America’s reputation that that has been tarnished by Diebold’s poorly designed voting systems, suitable for soiled diapers.
    America is in the commode. Reach in. Our hand is up and we are (…)

    "He is always like that," she said. "I don’t think he understands the concept of biting one’s tongue. It wouldn’t matter if it was (President) Bush himself standing there. He would have dissed him the same."

    It was a Maalox moment for Donald Rumsfeld. At a forum held with U.S. troops in Kuwait who are headed to Iraq, the barrage of friendly fire soon scored a direct hit when a scout with the Tennessee National Guard, one Specialist Thomas Wilson, rose, and, his voice confident and clear but with an undertone of bafflement, asked:
