6. Yes

Last night I even sat through a silly add in order to read the entire article at Time. Bushco will not be happy with it.

10. Well Put!

I just renewed my subscription to Time for another year. Extra glad I did now, despite Joe Klein's vagaries!

8. Yeah, it's cute and somewhat on the money. A few blood splatters on

the hat, and maybe some children's brains, would be appropriate.

Gang, I'm getting worried about this illusion of criticism and a "balance of power" that is being created. I know we all hunger for some truth and reality in the war profiteering corporate news monopoly press, but we need to beware.

In the last couple of weeks, we've seen...

A big flap between Bush and the NYT--the NYT, which brought us the Iraq War.

The Supreme Court apparently comes down hard on Bush over military tribunals in Guantanamo, but includes a loophole that the Diebold Congress can just overrule them. (--and does nothing for the prisoners--nothing! Three years imprisonment, some dead, some driven insane, no charges against them, tortured and abused, and no end in sight...)

And I woke up the other morning to a major column in the Sacramento Bee (big corporate rag) that said we election fraud activists "are not kooks," and that "the threat to democracy" from election fraud (specifically electronic voting) "is very real."

I mean, I'm feeling like Alice in Wonderland. Wha-a-a-a....

Now this.

Don't you get the feeling we're being played?

I mean these shits STILL have control of the entire nation's voting system with TRADE SECRET, PROPRIETARY programming code--code so secret that not even our secretaries of state are permitted to review it--and with virtually no audit/recount controls, and now an entrenched corruption that will be very difficult to root out.

---------------------------

But I don't want to be just a doomer and gloomer. I think we need to support the protest of individual citizens that is already occurring, of people who are voting by Absentee Ballot because they don't trust the machines (already up to 50% in Los Angeles). Let's get it up to 90% by November, everywhere. Then we will have something. Yeah, yeah, I know Absentee Ballots are not safe--but I'm talking here about an indigenous boycott of the machines, that could get really big if it was promoted, and bring this whole election theft system to a crashing halt.

What do you think? Somehow I don't trust the NYT and the Supreme Court and Time magazine and the Sacto Bee to really change anything.--know what I mean? It may all be smoke and mirrors, to dampen the growing voter revolt.

9. what does it mean

I think it means things are really, really bad. When these ho's start telling it like it is, it means the party's over.
