Spent some time over at little green footballs, checking out their links to Iraqi blogs. The first one I clicked on - by Hammorabi - discusses a raid by American forces on a Baghdad mosque and a massacre conducted by U.S. forces. The story itself is shocking, and I haven't seen it described here.

The American forces in Baghdad committed a criminal act by a raid on a mosque (Al-Mostafa Hussiayniyah) in Ur district in Baghdad. These forces invaded the mosque during the Sunset prayer. The worshipers were armless doing their prayers. The American forces were heavily armed and supported by helicopters. They collected the worshipers in one room and open fire on them!
At least 37 worshipers were instantly killed by the American soldiers while arresting others.

A little bit has been made about the fact that the Republicans have proposed ethics legislation that would permit lobbyists to pick up lunch and travel expenses so long as they make a political contribution. Unfortunately, it would appear that the Democratic ethics bill before the House has the same defect. More below. Read More

My gosh, this is pretty over the top crazy stuff! And ham-handed to boot. Guess Senator Voinovich, by not playing politics is a back-stabbing traitor. I sent my letter to him thanking him for standing up the other day. I would urge other Ohioans to do the same.

This just in . . . Blackwell, the far right secretary of state of Ohio just announced a deal with Diebold to replace optical scan voting systems with touch screen systems.

SECRETARY OF STATE GIVES COUNTIES GREEN LIGHT TO BUY TOUCH SCREEN VOTING MACHINES WITH PAPER AUDIT TRAILS

Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell today lifted an order that would have required all county election boards to replace their current voting systems with precinct-count optical scan devices. He announced an agreement under which boards now have the option of switching to touch-screen voting machines with voter verified paper audit trails (VVPAT). Diebold Election Systems is the first Ohio-approved vendor to meet federal and state requirements for VVPATs. Negotiations with the company brought the price of touch screens to within the state's available federal funding. Counties have until May 24th to either reconfirm their selection of optical scan machines or choose the Direct Recording Electronic devices.

So now the elections are to be in the hands of the Diebold Corporation. Read More
