This is one of the Right Wing's favorite forms of intimidation, is it not? Is it impossible to file a Freedom of Information request for the Clerk of Waukesha County's records? Kathy Nickolaus should expect such a request, shouldn't she? How about Scott Walker's email? It would just clear the air about a potential conspiracy to commit voter fraud.

Obviously, I am not a lawyer, and I don't know how the FOIA should apply in elections, but the suspicious nature of this public employee's actions should warrant some sort of investigation. A recount will only shed light on the results if those results have some integrity. Strange to say, I don't have much faith in Ms. Nickolaus' integrity. Or her computer.

So I went to buy Paul Krugman's book today

At my local Borders. I learned several years ago that Barnes & Nobles (the other choice in my chain-store choked community) is a major supporter of right wing politicians, while Borders, at least, donates to both red and blue candidates.

I was inspired by the recommendations of several trusted bloggers (Atrios, Crooks and Liars) and by the stupidity of the New York Times Book Review trashing one of its own. And genuinely looking forward to a good read.

I have had it. It is clear that the Bush agenda is being ruthlessly promoted by the executive and the judicial branch. The only branch of government not in the hands (pockets?) of the right wing is the legislative, right? In the meantime, the Supreme Court relegates women to the status of children, incapable of choosing a medical procedure without daddy's say so; the gun lobby sits back and says "who me?" while madmen buy automatic weapons for mass killings and then they boast about their access to the White House. The White House stalls and stalls and stalls as their corruption exceeds their skill at hiding it.

Because I was interested in more details about the curfew imposed in Bagdhad over the weekend, I have been looking for reports in the US media. Wapo, NYT, LaTimes, Tribune: NOT one of these so-called news outlets is reporting on this, at least in prominent spaces on their web sites (and for two of them, I know they have nothing in their print editions. Meanwhile, Reuters and the BBC are reporting on this story, as are many other papers in Europe, the Mideast and Australia.

As an enthusiastic voter for Barack Obama I was POed by his knee-jerk decision to vote for Condi Rice. Pissed enough to write to him. This is what I said:

"Dear Senator Obama,

I am writing to express my dismay at your vote to approve Condoleeza Rice as Secretary of State. Her record of incompetence and dissumulation before the Congress and the American public deserves no such promotion. Given the voting patterns in Illinois you cannot claim that your constituents expected such a vote.

Please look very carefully at the records of the people nominated for these offices (Alberto Gonzales comes to mind) BEFORE deciding how to vote."

So what are my chances of getting him to stand up the Rethugs?
