allegedly casting her vote in the wrong precinct in a Town of Palm Beach

Lisa,
Though I usually agree with your views on your site, the picture and caption
comparing President George Bush and his mother Barbara to monkeys was over the
top. Mean spirited humor such as this is just not right and it sends a bad
message to people. I suggest you apologize to the monkeys ( the Bonobos) as soon
as possible.

No, the troops are not stupid,
but let's state
the obvious: a great many of them join the military because college isn't an
option.
The military recruiters know this. That's why they specifically target
inner-city and rural schools, and stay away from places like Phillips Andover,
where you can go to Yale even if you get crappy grades--
where
you never have to make a choice to potentially sacrifice your life for financial
reasons.
Yeah, neocons, like Kerry's "botched joke" legitimizes "botched Iraq." -- www.seriouskidding.com Grant Gerver

"Election
irregularities are particularly acute here in Ohio. Two years ago, voting was
marked by long lines and insufficient voting booths in many neighborhoods --
oddly enough, mostly minority neighborhoods. Many blame the fiercly pro-Bush
Kenneth Blackwell, who oversaw the elections as Ohio's Secretary of State. Who
is Kenneth Blackwell? Think of him as a more do-able Katherine Harris." --Jon

Racist Republicans? Can't be!
A state lawmaker resigned
Wednesday from the Florida Legislature and was charged with two felonies in
connection with leaving obscenity-filled messages and a racial slur on a
colleague's voice mail.
State prosecutors charged Republican Ralph Arza, 46, with one felony count each
of retaliating against and tampering with a witness. Arza's cousin, 25-year-old
Paulino Barbon Jr. was also charged with the same two counts.
Both men could face up to 10 years in prison if convicted.
