La La Land Maxine Nash, Electronic Iraq, 13 December 2004
Living here in Iraq I sometimes get a distinct sense of unreality. Recently, I was working in CPT’s office. My colleague Tom Fox was in the office with me, working on the computer. Next to the computer he had placed a kerosene lamp so he could see the papers from which he was working because the electricity was off. In Iraq, the name for a kerosene lamp is la la. I couldn’t help but be struck by the sheer sense of the bizarre in (…)

http://alaskarecount2004.org/ Exit polls showed Tony Knowles winning (50 - 47 %) http://www.politicalstrategy.org/archives/000738.php , but in the results he lost by a significant margin.
The recount has begun. Precincts to be counted by hand were randomly selected from regions and districts all over the state. Twenty optical scan machines will do the full recount of the state. These machines have been specially reprogrammed for doing this recount, so they do not contain the (…)

When I think I’ve heard it all, Republican hypocrisy soars to a new level. It was amazing listening to a GOP senator infer that because the exit polls in Ukraine said our guy won, then there must have been voter fraud when Putin’s candidate was declared victorious. Let me get this straight: Exit polls in Ukraine are accurate, but when a substantial Kerry win is predicted they say, "Oh my! There must be something wrong with the way we do our exit polls."
No matter what Mr. Shock says in his (…)

America:
I am about to engage in some tough love here. Please forgive me, but what is wrong with us, America?
My friend lives in a blue state content as can be. Shortly after Black Tuesday election 2004, he told me to stop sending him my political opinions and chill out. He threatened to add me to his junk senders list. He said that he would pray for me.
A day later, I began the first of now 12 articles regarding the OBVIOUS vote fraud in Ohio and Florida that occurred six weeks ago. (…)

.A Message From The Iraq Resistance
"We are simple people who chose principles over fear."
People of the world! These words come to you from those who up to the day of the invasion were struggling to survive under the sanctions imposed by the criminal regimes of the U.S. and Britain .
We are simple people who chose principles over fear.
We have suffered crimes and sanctions, which we consider the true weapons of mass destruction.
Years and years of agony and despair, while the (…)

It didn’t take long for the supporters of Viktor Yushchenko, the West’s Ukrainian sock puppet, to point to the KGB as the perpetrators of the poisoning of their candidate with a major dose of dioxin:
"When asked by ABC News’ Bill Weir if the Russian government, and specifically President Vladimir Putin, had anything to do with the poisoning, Yushchenko chief of staff Oleh Rybachuk said: ’I am not very positive about government, but what I might say that was Soviet (…)

New York Times journalist Eric Schmitt reported today (December 14, 2004) that the Air Force is finally taking control of supply transportation in Iraq via airlifts. For months now, U.S. troops had been expected to transport supplies via ground transports through dangerous terrain where they were regularly attacked and killed. It was bad enough that they had been asked to travel on these routes at all for such routine and non-combat related missions, and without armor for (…)

Dear Friends,
It is no surprise that the Republicans are sore winners. They have spent the better part of the past month beating their chests, threatening to send to Siberia any Republican who doesn’t toe the line (poor Arlen Specter), and promising everything short of martial law if the Democrats don’t do what they are told.
What’s worse is to watch the pathetic sight of the DLC (the conservative, pro-corporate group of Democrats) apologizing for being Democrats and (…)
