I've just gotta say that today SUCKED!
I had work that kept me from blogging but I surfed here and read the happenings on the Net and had CNN on while I worked.

I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT when CNN quit running the Kerry letter teaser to watch Inside Politics to give nonstop coverage of the Peterson decision. With Arnebeck filing at the wire and the Conyers forums happening today as well, we were completely blacked out.

Talk about never catching a break...

And what was with Fineman's analysis on Olbermann? On one hand, this will go nowhere and is unlikely to break into the mainstream. On the other, tens of millions of Americans believe there's a problem. Makes a helluva lot of sense. Sad part is he appears to be right.

1. How Do You Think We Will EVER "Catch a Break" From THEIR Media?

13. A lot of us didn't realize till now how bad it is. The good news is that
almost inevitably it will cause liberals to go out and put together their own MSM networks. That will take a bit, but it'll come and actually you see the MSM reacting vs * and NeoCons even now. Armorgate, Kerik, Iraq, deserting soldiers, etc. Its starting to happen.

18. A thought.
I mean no "one-up-man-ship", but it occurs to me that if you didn't realize until now "how bad it is", you probably still don't realize how bad it is.

2. a shot in the arm
Today sucked big time for many of us. REad RaulVB's post "From Alaska with Passion." It may help.

3. Today was an EXCELLENT day.
--A Triad employee caught tampering with a tabulator in what could amount to a prima facie case of election fraud.

--A lockdown ordered by Blackwell that IS a prima facie case of election fraud according to Ohio code.

--Kerry steps into the fray.

--Excellent testimony at Conyers hearings, including sworn testimony by Curtis.

--Lawsuit filed by Arneback.

--MSM coverage in over 1000 newspapers nationwide.

When our side wants some media, they will have it.

Have faith.

8. Amen
If nothing else, things happened. I never thought today would be an end; today was a beginning. What will happen? I don't know. But no matter what you imagined would happen; things happened.

9. Damn right! Ten more days like this and there'll be millions in the street
Even Howard the Coward Finneman had to admit that Blackwell must have something to hide.

Political editors everywhere are taking another look at this story.

10. do you have URL links for some of these items?
if possible please give me some URLs on these



--A lockdown ordered by Blackwell that IS a prima facie case of election fraud according to Ohio code.

--Lawsuit filed by Arneback.


I'm searching for URLs for these stories to post on solarbus.org.
I prefer to link to published articles, as opposed to DU postings.

any info is appreciated

11. Thank you!
I was just thinking the same thing you posted here, which is the opposite of what the original post said. I am catching up with all of today's happenings and I think this was the biggest day yet. Screw the media, the truth IS atleast starting to get out in the open. They (MSM) will just have to catch up. It makes me feel a bit more assured that atleast some members of Congress are getting this stuff on the record and told to them firsthand.

23. Thanks! Now the 'glass' is half-full again!
We gotta 'keep hope alive!' We ARE making progress. They're just so good at suffocating the Truth. Gotta work around them.

12. Yeah. Guess I need an attitude adjustment. The inability to...
"break through" is the part that bothered me today. But you're right, the evidence is mounting.
