"Sorry, the voting machine broke. You'll have to use a paper ballot." "Hmm, well, ok. May I have a pen?" "No, we only have one pen. You'll have to wait." - Election Day 2004, New York City, 6:30 AM (polls opened at 6)

Saying the polls to watch are Florida, Ohio, and Wisconsin. Saying Penna is not really in play, going "a little" toward Kerry. Both sides comfortable with Bush winning FL, but Kerry has advantage in PA, so Ohio is the state that Kerry has to carry. Kerry can't win without Ohio. BUT, "Bush has put himself in the position that he can still lose Ohio and win the election". Okay, I guess we all know this stuff already, but it's interesting to hear it from the Real Clear guy.

Few things are as disgusting to me as the way John Kerry and other Democrat politicians use appearances at predominantly Black churches to spread their lies and race-baiting. Kerry was at it again today at a church in Florida, repeating the canard that "1 million African-Americans in Florida were dis-enranchised in 2000 and we cannot let that happen again!" A quick back-of-the-envelope calculation shows this statement to be a bold-faced lie: Total Population of Florida in 2000 (2000 census): 17,019,068 Proportion of Population is Black: 14.6% Therefore, Florida Population is Black: 2,484,784 (Highful doubtful that almost HALF of the maximum...

'We Have Some Planes,' Hijacker Told Controller By MATTHEW L. WALD with KEVIN SACK ASHINGTON, Oct. 15 — American Airlines Flight 11 had fallen mysteriously silent. The air traffic controller called over and over for a response. None came. Then he heard an unidentified voice from the cockpit: "We have some planes. Just stay quiet and you'll be OK. We are returning to the airport." The controller, confused, asked, "Who's trying to call me?" No response. Then he heard the voice again: "Nobody move please, we are going back to the airport. Don't try to make any stupid moves." The ...

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29 — Activists and anarchists chanted “no war” as they took to the streets Saturday, their anti-globalization cause transformed by the terrorist attacks into a call for peace.The march began peacefully around 10 a.m., but police used pepper spray to control some protesters as they passed the D.C. Convention Center. A Metropolitan Police Department spokeswoman said arrests had been made, but she could not provide further details. THE ANTI-CAPITALIST CONVERGENCE, an anarchist group based in the capital, rallied hundreds Saturday morning near Capitol Hill to march to the International Monetary Fund and World Bank headquarters in downtown Washington. ...

I live in Manhattan. I just came back from a walk around the city days after the attack and what I saw in Union Square made me wretch. People had posted banners calling for "peace", "stop the violence". Folk singers were playing guitars and singing anti-war protest songs from the 60's. One banner said "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth leaves us all toothless and blind". Another said "Change U.S. policy in the middle east." Who are these people talking to? Do they think it was the U.S. military that killed over 5,000 people in ...
