CIA and Peru lied about missionary plane shot down in 2001

Saturday, November 22nd, 2008

There was a time when the CIA was a law unto itself and carried out all kinds of illegal activities. If you thought those days were gone, they apparently returned during the Bush presidency.
You may recall the incident in 2001 when a private plane carrying Baptist missionaries was shot down in Peru killing a [...]

AP News Calls Begich the Winner in Alaskan Senate Race

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

With Mark Begich having a lead now of over 3,000 votes, AP is calling the race over. Only 2,500 votes remain to be counted, making the difference too great to overcome. Begich will go to the senate from Alaska. I suppose this dashes any hopes Sarah Palin had of becoming the next [...]

Synfuel Update: The BLM Wasn’t Kidding

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is doing whatever it can to help the Bush administration wreck our public lands. Back in February, I wrote:

They can’t be serious…. The federal government has come back to the idea, sensibly abandoned in the early 1980s, of extracting tar sands and oil shale in Utah. These are [...]

Alaska State Pastime: Hunting or Vote Rigging?

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

Serious problems with vote rigging in Alaska in 2004 (which favored Republicans) were never resolved. This time around the fix is in and puts the smell of rotten fish to shame. I understand Alaska had the largest delta in the country between pre-election polls and final results - as much as 10% in [...]

Unlikely Numbers in Alaska, Ted Stevens’ (The Crook) Race. Updated: Georgia (Chambliss) Too!

Friday, November 7th, 2008

Update: Same problem in Georgia, a million missing votes.
From Mud-Flats, Crunching the Numbers in Alaska
In 2004, 66% of registered voters turned out to vote in the presidential election between George Bush and John Kerry.
In 2008, including the votes still outstanding, only 54% of registered voters turned out.

Huh? Lower turnout in the biggest election Alaska [...]

Rep. Greg Hughes - Conduct Unbecoming

Saturday, November 1st, 2008

All politics is local, and when Lisa Johnson came to my door asking for help in her campaign for the Utah House of Representatives I resolved to do my due diligence this year. Today I walked a precinct in Sandy for Lisa, who is just the kind of representative you want in the state [...]

The Poison Fruit from the Tree of Corruption

Saturday, November 1st, 2008

There’s been a great deal of talk about corruption in politics. The last 8 years have seen a truly shocking level of corruption in government - from the Republicans K Street Project, to the Bushies’ endless politicizing of every aspect of government starting with no bid contracts for any firm connected to the Administration [...]

GOP IT Guru Ordered Deposed MONDAY! Rove Next!

Saturday, November 1st, 2008

Maybe Reid and Pelosi are smarter than we thought…

The attorneys in the case have said that Connell’s testimony may well lead to the subpoenaing and under-oath questioning of Karl Rove, who, they say, would be unable to use Executive Privilege as an excuse to avoid such a subpoena in a civil RICO case…

I wish Ken [...]

This is What is Happening

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

The republicans are going to throw a temper tantrum (again) after the election if things don’t go enough in their favor. They are going to shout about Acorns and Voter Fraud. I know this for sure because John McCain brought it up in the last debate with Obama. He said the democrats were going to [...]
