Things I learned today

Invest in tin foil folks. The Rove threw the election theorists are coming forward. Atty Tood has the same bad feeling as I do about it. And my uneasiness has not been assuaged by this interview with Karl. Is it me or is he almost admitting he just didn't set the vote shifting high enough?

Meanwhile, problems with the vote tallies are still ongoing. There's massive election fraud in CA, well fraud might be too strong a word but the votes aren't being counted and suddenly voting problems are of concern to the GOP.

As I said in Detroit, Rove is a master chess player and he appears ready to sacrifice even his king for the checkmate. Bush's approval is down to 31%. What does it all mean? Damned if I know, but I think it's a mistake to underestimate Karl.

Moving on, here's some proof that money wins elections. Of course we knew that but the stats are interesting. What we didn't know for sure until now is those misleading robocalls the GOP were placing did succeed in irritating some voters into voting for the Republican challenger.

Meanwhile, you don't hear much about the war but I was shocked to learn the Iraq Ministry of Health actually admits to 150,000 deaths instead of the usual 40,000 they had previously cited. Even more depressing, Maliki says disbanding the Shite militias would be suicidal and he's making noises about putting the sovereignty back into sovereign nation.

On the brighter side, the Dems announced that modifying the Alternative Miminum Tax to take the burden off middle class families is a priority and they're prioritizing White House malfeasance in order to decide what to investigate first.

An saving the best for last, this can only be a good thing. Jesus Camp is shutting down. Thank the Lord.
