ebongreen pointed me to a Rolling Stone article by Robert Kennedy, Jr. that would seem to present a great deal of evidence that the Ohio vote in 2004 actually was rigged. It has always bothered me that the exit polls could be that wrong, and it would seem that they weren't. Kenneth Blackwell promised Bush the election and damned if he didn't come through on that promise, will of the American people be damned.

And the Right wonders why the modern Left is so "angry".

If you need something to lift your spirits a little and reassure you that democracy isn't quite dead yet, I point you to this piece:

DETROIT --A federal judge will go ahead with hearings in a legal challenge to a warrantless domestic surveillance program run by the National Security Agency.

U.S. District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor also criticized the Justice Department for failing to respond to the legal challenge, The Detroit News reported Friday.

Ohio Vote Rigged

This is one of the major points the guy I know from that web site insisted on. He was certain that after the next prez. election (or sooner, if Dems get some power in the fall) that a lot of people were going to go to jail for screwing with Ohio.

I anticipate a lot of Congressional inquiries...on about 300 separate subjects.

PS -
Watch the latest Now on PBS about Net Neutrality. They do a really good job explaining what I've been ranting about for months. And they brilliantly present both sides of the argument, while making sure the corporate interests look like the greedy assholes they are.
