There is a film showing tonight in Chicago called UNCOUNTED: The New Math of American Elections.  Fair elections is the most important topic in my opinion, because I firmly believe Democrats won the presidency in both 200 and 2004, but the elections were stolen.  There is a recommended diary about voter misinformation via Robo-calls up right now and this follows the news yesterday about the Supreme Court upholding Indiana's new voter disenfranchisement registration law.

I caught this article in the Chicago Sun Times (awful rag, I know) and it has some interesting ideas about who could take over Obama's Senate seat if he wins the presidency.   Sun Times: Schakowsky makes play for Obama's seat

I am so freakin' pissed about this torturer enablement bill today, i'm now writing my FIRST diary ever.  Unbelieveable!  I can't believe that someone, born in America, could actually even put forth such legislation!  How is this even debatable?  What the hell is going on here?  What's next?  How much lower can we go?  I did some thinking about this week and the NIE and the undemocratic, unconstitutional bill they voted for today...
