New KO blog

Amazing that this is actually real life.

the chances of him being put to death before he dies of old age are pretty slim in California, yet people were still apparently glued the story....hint, hint....

BIGGGGGGGGG DIFFERENCE is Scott's kids, friends, and acquaintances can't keep fighting for his life after he's dead...

...but we collectively CAN keep fighting as long as it takes to restore democracy.

no doubt WE will keep fighting, but the general public needs a new soap opera to latch onto, one which is full of all kinds of interesting twists and turns...now is an opportunity.

You said hint hint...

That really seemed to imply that WE are all addicted to a soap opera that we need to latch onto even though there is no chance for victory in our lifetime.

That definitely seemed like what you were trying to say by the hint hint.

Didn't know you meant it in a hint hint, now's the time to expose it to them type way.

My Bad.

and KO is in a unique position to get a lead on the competition for this story, which may or may not emerge. (Watergate was a fraction as interesting when it initially broke.)

I hope you can understand why I took it in the context I had. The hint hint seemed sarcastic rather than wink wink ya know? LOL

Anyway, it's all good!

sometimes I could be more clear. (too much red wine).

Too bad Keith's blog was better than his broadcast....Oh yeah...Why cant Fineman speak like that ON AIR???

"to permit independent examination of “the programming and calibration of the tabulating system, scanners, and electronic voting machines verified by independent experts.”"

That to me is one of the great parts of the request. These actions will amount to a contest of the election rather than just a recount, and in a contest a judge can overturn the election of the presidential electors.

on every applicable thread.
That's great news--I certainly hadn't realized that before!

Just for you :)

a quick copy of the letter:


(snip)

On behalf of John Kerry and John Edwards I am making the following requests regarding the conduct of the recount:



The selection of precincts for the three percent hand count should be according to a scientifically valid random sampling method. I am aware that you have received a letter from Votewatch regarding this issue with an offer by that organization to provide resources to ensure that the sampling method is valid. We urge you to accept this offer of assistance or otherwise be able to demonstrate that the method employed by the Board to select the precincts for the three percent hand count is scientifically valid.


2. We request that each candidate be given the opportunity to select at least one precinct for a hand count, either as part of or in addition to the three percent hand count.



For those counties that use touch screen voting systems, we request that the three percent hand count include a hand count of three percent of the ballot images stored in the each of the redundant memories of the machines selected for the recount and on any paper trail for the machines.


We request that the Board provide the opportunity for candidates participating in the recount to have the programming and calibration of the tabulating system, scanners, and electronic voting machines verified by independent experts.


We request that the test used by the Board to verify the logic and accuracy of the computer tabulating program be performed for each precinct, including any separate absentee precinct. Further, the test should include testing for under and over voted ballots.


We request that computer printouts of the recount results include the under and over votes recorded in each precinct.


John Kerry and John Edwards hereby request to have their witnesses visually inspect all ballots for which your voting system has not recorded a vote for President and Vice President, i.e. the undervote and overvote ballots. If the Board does not agree to a visual inspection of these ballots, then we hereby request to visually inspect all ballots pursuant to R.C. § 3515.04 and OAG 74-103.


We request to inspect envelopes and related paperwork for all uncounted provisional and absentee ballots. This includes documents stating the reason or reasons that a ballot was not counted and the documentation to support the same.


In order to verify candidate rotation, we request to inspect the ballot page assemblies of all punch card voting devices and the ballot faces of all touch screen voting machines used at the polls or at the Board’s office.


For those counties where the names of Nader and Camejo were visible to voters on the ballots, ballot pages or faces of voting machines, i.e. where the names were not covered over with a sticker or blacked out or the ballots were not reprinted without their names, we request to know whether any votes were cast for Nader and Camejo for President and Vice President.


We request that absentee ballots which were postmarked by election day, November 2, 2004, and were received by the board no later than November 12, 2004, be counted if the voter did not vote at the polls.


The above requests are in addition to any other requests that may be made by our witnesses.



If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.



Very truly yours,

make it burst into flames.

Also KO points out the solid MSM credentials of the article which he says "so superbly documented over the weekend by The Columbus Dispatch".
He's so much as telling us that this is an angle that can help us get MSM attention.

Thisis about awareness now... and about January the 6th .. be in Washington DC that day .. I will

KO's blog tonight, Fineman is quoted (2nd to the last paragraph):".....this is a minority voting rights issue and Kerry needs to play it perfectly." Thoughts?

Sheesh.

Fineman just running his yap?

The problem — as Howard Fineman puts it — is that even acknowledging the delicate position Kerry finds himself in, and the easy target he would make himself by openly investing in an Ohio recount/investigation/protest, this all still smacks of “I didn’t care about the recount before I started caring about it.” Howard continues: “If Kerry and his lawyer really thought there was real mischief going on, they should have had all their guns out there investigating what happened in Ohio and they should have been strong and vocal.”



FUCK YOU HOWARD!

this all really is, this is not the biggest joke of an election system in the world, suppression votes, stolen votes, cheating officials, electors can vote right, the candidate does not fight for his position in our hearts, if I do not laugh I will certainly being crying my head off, we really need to take these screw balls to task and soon, very soon. I am sure we could do a better job.

Fineman needs to pull his head out of his butt. The only question is whether Kerry decided not to make himself the center of attention, or whether he did the responsible thing and gathered evidence first.

The only question I have for Mr. Fineman is: "Are you a dickhead or just an insufferable prick?"

Couldn't he be both?

Dammit, not only does it post twice, but in the wrong place. I've been having problems all day with DU bugs.

:wtf:

"Blackwell KINDA slow-stepped so they wouldn't be able to finish a full recount before the electoral college met."

Would it be so f'n hard to just say that the SOB fixed it so the recount couldn't start until TODAY!?

Ass.

That was the big news today and the key to unraveling the whole fraud.

What is this bullshit?

made a mistake, error or dare I say it was a glitch... :(

Keith remarked about that legendary musical duo in his blog, but I have to disagree with him on just who would be the star of another G&S musical. My money's on Junior. I can just picture him in his faux military jacket, caressing the side of a fighter jet and singing, "I am the very model of a modern Major-General!" In fact, given that this song was first presented in 1879, this certainly fits:


"For my military knowledge, though I'm plucky and adventury,
Has only been brought down to the beginning of the century;
But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General."

Yep, definitely Junior. Dick, Karl, and Condi could be the chorus.


:evilgrin:

For man, however well-behaved
At best is but a monkey shaved...:)

OK you artistic clever folks out there-- we need a G&S Parody stat!

Feel free to bring in any of the 14 from the canon. There's more than enough to go around.

As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list, I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed, they never would be missed....

With tank-like tread,
Upon our prey we steal;
Their constant dread,
Our wanton way we feel.
No mind at all!
We never think a thought;
A Blackwell's job
Would be distinctly bought--

:kick:
