Introducing energy standards for lightbulbs != mandating compact fluorescents.

probably? Pearl Harbor is a better Star Trek movie than The Final Frontier.

Gun ownership is a liberty. You seem to have confused Liberalism with liberalism.

There's a lot of words there, but I think the R^2 of 0.00 kind of speaks for itself.

Show me a single county in Minnesota that's reporting more votes than voters. It shouldn't be hard, because you say that there are several. The data are freely available from the Minnesota Secretary of State http://electionresults.sos.state.mn.us/20081104/ so there's nothing standing in your way.

Note: a county that reports more valid votes after a recount than it did on election night is an entirely different thing than a county reporting more votes than voters. The former is a natural result from going back over the data more carefully, the latter is a huge red flag that someone screwed up and would be actual news, instead of a throwaway line muttered by wingnuts.

I'm not saying that the Minnesota recount has gone perfectly, both sides have been pretty childish, but if you're going to complain about it at least complain about real problems.
