1. What's even more upsetting is that there is not even a mention

of this on Cable or national M$Greedia

14. SUPPOSEDLY will be on Lou Dobbs tomorrow

They're scheduled to interview Cliff Arnebeck, the lead attorney in the King Lincoln v. Blackwell case on Ohio, for which Connell was deposed the day before the election.

While Lou Dobbs is horrid, IMHO, on many issues -- notably immigration -- he's done some good work on electronic voting related stories.

In this case, because it was a GOP guy who died, it'll be very interesting to see what the coverage shows. If it happens.

15. And there's this from The Telegraph in the U.K.

George Bush aide dies in plane crash

Mystery surrounds the death of a Republican pollster, recently compelled to give evidence about alleged election fraud in the 2004 election in Ohio, after he was killed in a plane crash.

6. I have been spreading the word and Republicans

that I know are pissed.

At first, I sent the RawStory link, but then when I followed up with Blake Chenault reporting from Channel 19 news in Ohio (the youtube link was posted on DU), their ears perked up and the feedback I am getting is that they wouldn't put it past these goons in the GOP.

8. Thanks, but no.

Edited on Mon Dec-22-08 09:39 PM by BeatleBoot

I am no Patriot.

I would fight for my country in a heartbeat.

I would die for her.

I love her.

But I never joined the military or any of that.

But I do work my ass off every day. And I pay my taxes on time and I love my neighbors - just like you.

Patriot is reserved for those in uniform.
