Ohio electoral fight becomes 'biggest deal since Selma' as GOP stonewalls.

Pricey oil and gas are heating up industrial interest in renewable sources....

It seems those backed by our "full faith and credit" are standing up to Bush.

Hm. If "Super Monkey Ball" is good, I bet a decent simulator would be a whole lot better.

A "Jim Crow" disenfranchisement analysis of the number of active voters based on historical turnouts compared to actual voters, in light of precinct voting machine allocation in Ohio, should lead to more than 130,000 additional votes for Kerry from discouraged voters in overloaded precincts statewide. Based on a rough extrapolation from the number of problems reported to VoteProtect.org, and the identified disparity in Franklin county (+1.9% for Kerry

Other than the well-understood problem of armor shortages, and the less well-undestood problem of poison gas from burning uranium, oh, and that thing with the torture, and the lies about WMD programs, what do you suppose, "openly eliminating anyone - doctors, clerics, journalists - who dares to count the bodies," does to troop morale

How is the fact that Republicans spent more than a third of a century lying dirty, poison lies to keep tobacco legal help me spread the truth about depleted uranium? Do I get the benefit of the doubt, and if so, exactly how do I go about claiming it?

I need in excess of 50 people ASAP. And I need them ready to deploy within 7 days or less of signing a contract. These positions are not going to wait. If they are not filled, they will simply be cancelled. The initial deployments are 3 months, but based on performance will be extended into semi-perm....

Check out the inflection point at 3/25/04. Obviously someone's comedic delievery needs some practice in front of the mirror. Looks like that slope has returned. Only a few dozen Ohio and federal judges can help at this point.

Republicans have killed more U.S. troops than any Iraqis have.

Dear Ms. Clayton:

Thank you again for speaking with me today.

Here, again, are excerpts from my most recent emails on the subject. Please do not delete the following information. If someone asks for it, please use your best judgement as to whether it still requires medical review.

I suppose you are all wondering what a polyaminopoly alkylphosphonic antidote is about now. Well, it's like a little ionophore machine with a claw, which redirects bad stuff out of the blood.

I predict Noam Chomsky's students will announce one that eats sugar and sends an RFID signal when they are full by this time next week.

Apparently, we've got:
