I just read Gore's recent Op-Ed about moving the United States' power production to carbon-free sources within ten years. Diaried here, this plan nearly got my jumping out of my seat.

As a college student, majoring in engineering and computers, such a plan could not pave a brighter path our futures. I find this article not only extremely exciting because of its ramifications worldwide if Obama follows through but also because it has always been my dream to be one of the people responsible for the green change. I want to be there, building these panels, turbines, whatever it takes to make sure that we never have to burn fossil fuels again.

A recent diary by Karmic Spirit talks about Clinton's newest ad about suspending the gas taxes. I've looked through all the comments but I haven't found any references to what else is hidden in the video, something far more telling...

There's more to this video than the photoshopped article, and it seems to be showing a full-fledged rebellion from her ad staff.

Go past the fold...

One of the leading stories on CNN as reaction to today's primaries is "Clinton: Full speed ahead to the White House."

Another says "Indiana exit polls show Clinton rural strength." Those of us who saw Keith's video featured today on the Rec List know how important that is.

What is with this framing?

Obama won a crushing defeat today, with about 2x the votes of Clinton. For me and my friends at Uni, this is a message of hope. We've been talking about something I don't see much of in the news and I don't see much in Obama's campaign that needs to be addressed: the issue of Dynasty.

Dynasties are dangerous. When the second Bush came in power after 8 years of Clinton, he brought with him nearly the same people as his father had: Powell, Rumsfeld, Rove, Cheney, and more. That obviously turned out terribly. Now, it is well known that power corrupts, and I believe there is no more corruptible position than government. It is just plain dangerous to keep any one person in a position of power for too long, no matter how great. In today's political world, it is just simply to easy to give and receive favors, all at the expense of the common person. We know this through years here at DKos - self-serving politicians hurt everyone but themselves and big business.

Read Gizoogle's translation of Kos itself:

http://sites.gizoogle.com/?url=http://www.dailykos.com

One of my favorite parts:

" Using a left-right combinizzle of jizzabs, Reid personally led tha charge ta set tha record straight n ta throw tha Republizzle trash bizzy in they faces cuz its a doggy dog world. The dawg even wizzy ta tha White Hizouse n gave tha president an earful. At first, I thought Reid would come off as a hapless shawty crybaby, but in tha end, Reid's strident defense made him appear motherfucka fo` battle . Freak y'all, into the beat y'all.

"We cizzay wait fo` 2008 ta begin this work," Reid told tha enthusiastic DNC gather'n"

Completed! Thanks to a user, the spreadsheet (.xls, excel) is online. It is at this website (UPDATED, working).

This is a compilation of the vote counts in Florida from the 2004 election and the 2000 Gore/Bush election.

The top part of the spreadsheet are the electronic voting machines manufactured mainly by Diebold; the bottom are optical scan machines. This spreadsheet was brought together using data from another diary and the official Florida results for 2000.

I have heard a lot of talk about how the numbers being thrown around before were invalid - I see why now. Comparing the Gore numbers to the "estimated votes" shows a bad discrepancy as well... which using that logic would suggest extreme fraud in Florida in 2000. Which... there was, but as far as I know not to this extent.

Hopefully these numbers can be of some use.

Thanks!

Re-posted so that it will be seen. This is useful information.

This has been posted on the Diebold thread, and needs it's own diary. This is for discussion of the amazing florida results on http://ustogether.org/Florida_Election.htm

These results basically prove all our suspicions of fraud.

Let's not give this up to Bush like Kerry has. We must be strong. It's not over. Not nearly.

If your doubts aren't big enough about how easy it is to hack a Diebold POS voting machine, check http://www.votergate.tv . Excellent movie, all should watch.

This is an EXTREMELY important issue. Get the word out. Call everyone you can. Call the media, call your friends, do all you can. We can still win this election. And hopefully (my fantasy) Bush and his cronies can be exposed... and even... (gasp) jail?! Makes me drool..

Discuss!

It's time to look ahead...

As mad as I am at the outcome of the election, we need to look ahead. There's other things we can do besides bitch about how Kerry gave up too easily. We can wait until the votes get completely counted. We can launch a big campaign to start an investigation of the Diebold machines. Halliburton. Everything we have a chance with. It's time to stop laying back and letting things happen and to make a difference.

As Tom Tomorrow once stated in one of his comics... "It's IMPEACHIN' time!"

(funny enough, that was directed towards Clinton at the time)

Let's get together what we can and go public with it. We can't let Bush get away with another 4 years unchecked. Now he has a Republican House and Senate, and he can basically get away with whatever he wants. You think the last four years were bad? It's going to get worse. We need to hold him accountable for everything he does.

Let's work hard every step of the way until impeachment or 2008!

I decided to take the advice of a fellow Kosa Nostran and post the PIPA report from a previous diary (recommended, very good read) and post it on FreeRepublic.

Took a screenshot if you want to see, if they decide that FreeRepublic is not a "free speech zone". Good to get the facts out to them, though.

Last time I posted (only a comment on the Mary Cheney BS), I was banned almost instantly. Let's see what they do now.

Note my comment on the bottom. It was:

"Can you believe these liberal academics?

The stupid "reality-based community" thinks they can assault us with facts. It's a good thing we know the truth."

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/browse EDIT: Pulled almost INSTANTLY! Wow. Well... never mind my posting this article. I guess it turns out this ISN'T a free speech zone. Rats.

Funny, what happens when you put sense on FreeRepublic...

There was a big post on the Freeper board about the Mary Cheney statement. They were going on and on about how Kerry has no decency, how it was a low blow, etc... when it was NOTHING of the sort. I pointed this out, and how it's only shameful if you think being a lesbian is shameful. I basically repeated the same arguments here on Kos, to see the reaction.

Well, take a look.
