In Soviet US the Government spies on you

The big story of the week was the revelations in the New York Times over George Bush authorizing warrantless spying of US citizens. In true East German style, President Bush, tried to deflect blame by attacking the messenger and accussed the New York Times of endangering national security by revealing his illegal and unconstitutional acts.

In other, related, news a UMass Dartmouth student was writing a paper on communism for class and tried to borrow Mao Tse-Tung’s Little Red Book using the school’s interlibrary loan program. Much to his surprise the book was delivered to him in person by two friendly agents of the Department of Homeland Security. Sadly the agents did not leave the book with the student. The article doesn’t mention whether the agents returned the book to the library or burned it.

How convenient

President Bush accepted responsibility on Wednesday for going to war with faulty intelligence.

Well, that’s certainly much safer now than before the presidential elections, isn’t it.

Bush, Harriet Miers, GTECH, sex and videotapes

Interesting article that comingles George W. Bush, Harriet Miers, GTECH and Texas State Lottery.

Looks like there’re some open questions as to the integrity of Miers (and GTECH) during a bit of a scandal in Texas State Lottery during the late 90s. But she was loyal even back then, so I guess it’s ok.

Sometimes the answer is just staring you in the face

In a rather astoundingly useless poll by CNN/USA Today/Gallup 49 percent of the US people say Bush is a divider, another 49 percent say he’s a uniter and the remaining 2 percent don’t care one way or another.

It must have taken superhuman restraint from the CNN editor to keep the obvious conclusion off the writeup.

Meanwhile CNN is working on a poll to study if people think water is wet.

Ohio is a dead heat

At the time of writing Florida appears to have gone to Bush, so Ohio is almost certainly the deciding state.

Right now the votes go as follows:

Bush: 2,245,388
Kerry: 2,112,297

But if you take a look at the county level votes Cuyahoga, the most densely populated county in the state is voting overwhelmingly in favor of Kerry, and only has 76% of the votes counted. Assuming the votes are being tallied at an even pace, there’s roughly 100,000 votes left in the county, of which roughly 65% will go to Kerry. That’s 30,000 more votes for Kerry than for Bush.

Bush will win Ohio by about 50,000 – 75,000 votes, and will get elected again.
