Curtis Files Challenge; GA Official Hired by Diebold; FL Paper: 'Touch-Screens Failed Experiment'
I hope you have all had (and continue to have) a pleasant holiday. Unfortunately, we can't hold some of the important news that's happened over the past few days too long. So here's some of the notables from the last few days. Our wishes for peace on earth to all! -- Brad

Clint Curtis Files Congressional Challenge to Election of U.S. House Opponent Tom Feeney

We hinted at this last week when Florida's corrupt Rep. Tom Feeney (R-Abramoff) expressed his obnoxious indignation about the democratic (small "d") Congressional election challenge filed by Christine Jennings (D) against Vern Buchanan (R) in the FL-13 U.S. House.

At the time, Feeney told the Orlando Sentinel that the challenge amounted to "total political dictatorship."

What he didn't seem to have told them was that he too was the object of a similar Constitutional challenge in Congress by his own opponent, Clint Curtis, in the race for U.S. House in Florida's 24th district.

Georgia Election Director Reportedly Takes New Job With Diebold
State Officials Say Kathy Rogers, Democratic Director of State Elections Division Under Outgoing Democratic Secretary of State, Said to be Going to Work for Un-American Voting Machine Company

(At least now she'll be getting paid for it!)

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is reporting that Kathy Rogers, the recently resigned Director of outgoing Secretary of State Cathy Cox's State Elections Division, is going to work for Diebold.

Democrats Cox and Rogers have been apologizing and covering for the deceptive and anti-democratic Voting Machine Company ever since. Cox even went so far as to appear on a Diebold promotional brochure singing the company's praises.

Bush 'Presidential' Library May be Built at SMU on Land Purchased from 'Intimidated' Residents
Another Not-Surprise from Bush-Supporting Dead-Enders...


The LA Times is reporting that the George W. Bush "Presidential" Library may well be built at Laura's alma mater, Dallas' Southern Methodist University.

Setting aside those in Texas and at the University who are less than thrilled with the idea of being associated with the guy, it comes as little surprise that the ground likely to be used for the library at SMU was obtained via tactics that perfectly represent the Bush Administration...
