Friends, NPR really pissed me off this week. It started this weekend when they were reporting on the tragic killing of the rancher in Arizona. The story, which had contained a good bit of anti-immigrant ranting from people in border areas, closed with a quote from a man who said something to the effect of "Arms yourselves and shoot." and NPR charitably added that the implication of this man's statement was "... before they shoot you". NOW - why be so charitable! I didn't think that was what the man was implying! I thought his sentiments were more like "Shoot them because they don't deserve to be in our country. Shoot them for the crime of daring to set their Mexican foot on my land!" I definitely did NOT get the impression that this man was limiting his warning and encouragement to shoot to just the dangerous ones. So, WHY was NPR feeling so charitable? Because they don't want to live in a world where nice ranchers from Arizona want to kill immigrants for being immigrants? because they don't want to be accused of being soft on drug criminals who kill innocent ranchers? Grow up NPR!

So I was fired up about that and then today - the story on this morning's newscast about financial reform went like this:

Does NPR suck just as bad as all other news outlets at reporting on more than just talking points?

We should have known from the start - I mean look at her funny name - "Michele" with ONE L? That is dag-nab Un-American. The nerve! And TWO N's on Bachmann? What is the freaking point of that extra pretentious "n"? Maybe she's actually French. Or French-Canadian. I wouldn't put it past her. She does smell like cheese... and Canadian bacon...

Hey friends - this is short but I'd love to hear what Kossacks would do with that $150,000. Bonus points if you're a Joe Sixpack.

This diary relates to the ACORN controversy and how the rightwing nutjobs are trying to make ACORN synonymous with election stealing (by Democrats). Palestra.net is a college news network that is owned by Fox News (or Fox has a financial stake or something). They have a video up reporting that out of town volunteers have registered at an address in Columbus and voted from it. Fox News had a Palestra reporter on to discuss this with the FOX reporter claiming they now had PROOF of illegal voting. I'm getting to that...

FIRST - check out this awesome video about the virtue of preparedness. Provisional Toothbrush http://www.youtube.com/...

Okay - now a story about pollworker training in OH.
Some background: In Franklin County (COlumbus) we are using the iVotronic machine made by ES&S. Yes, it prints a "voter-verified paper trail" though we were not trained to tell the voters to verify their vote by looking at this tape and as far as I know no one looks at these tapes except the pollworkers at the end of the night to make sure the count on the screen matches the count on the tapes (then theoretically the PEB card or flash memory card contains those same numbers and are counted by a master machine in some room by ES&S people - see this article on 2004 counting of votes from this machine in Chicago: http://www.votefraud.org/...)

Now - from the training: Read More
