In recent weeks, the McCain campaign has been attacking ACORN, a widely respected voter registration organization, claiming ACORN knowingly participated in "voter fraud." In reality, this is just another calculated attempt to suppress new and marginalized voters. Find out what you can do at:

McCain calls for ‘less government regulation’ of small businesses
Hello ? Deja Vu ? Flip Flop Much,McCrazy ?
When several of Wall Street’s giant banks collapsed in September, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) scrambled “to recast himself as a champion of regulation” in order to erase his past support of legislation “to broadly deregulate the banking and insurance industries helping to sweep aside a thicket of rules established over decades.”
But McCain has had a tough time sticking with his new pro-regulation message. After meeting with small business owners in Colorado yesterday, McCain released a statement emphasizing the need for “less government regulation of their business.” Politico’s Lisa Lerer notes that this is “a dangerous message in the midst of a market meltdown many have blamed on a lack of regulation on Wall Street.”

ACLU Demands NSA And DOJ Turn Over Spying Policy Records
Recent Revelations Suggest There Are No Adequate Safeguards In Place To Protect Innocent Americans From Invasive Surveillance.
*The ACLU FOIA requests ask the NSA and the Justice Department to produce:
• Any and all legal memoranda, procedures, policies, directives, practices, guidance or guidelines created between 1993 and the present pertaining to the acquisition, processing, analysis, retention, storage or dissemination of Americans' communications – whether targeted for interception or incidentally intercepted – during the course of NSA surveillance activities conducted inside or outside the United States; and
• Any and all records created between September 2001 and the present concerning complaints about, investigations of, or disciplinary actions related to the NSA's monitoring of U.S. communications.

What's That Old Saying ? It Takes One to Know One !
Quotes
"I no longer have any clear idea what, exactly, the modern conservative movement stands for.
Eight years of “conservative” government has brought us a doubled national debt, ruinous
expansion of entitlement programs, bridges to nowhere, poster boy Jack Abramoff and an
ill-premised, ill-waged war conducted by politicians of breathtaking arrogance.
As a sideshow,
it brought us a truly obscene attempt at federal intervention in the Terry Schiavo case."
-- --Christopher Buckley, son of William F.,
*Bartcop.
Chris, one small thing you forgot:
Bush destroyed the American economy and everyone's life savings.

The long slow process of undoing the ugliness can begin
Is that too much to ask ? Hell No !
If we had any Democrat Leaders who weren't scared of their own shadows it wouldn't have gotten this bad..
Jeebus,I hope alot of them get replaced with Better Democrats..
Pelosi,Reid,Conyers and Leahy..The usual suspects..
No backbone,weak leadership..
Just letting the fascists do what they want..When they want..
Hell,they should be having Impeachment Hearings right now
especially after the latest news that The NSA was wiretapping everyday Americans,Aid Workers and the Military !
Bush Lied Again About This..Kick His Fascists Ass Out Of Office !
But no..The Democrats will wait and give the Rethugs a chance to steal the elections again..
What rule of Law ? It makes me sick..Pathetic !
Impeach !
*******
Thanks Mire for the title.. :)

The Republican Voter Fraud Hoax
Donald Duck and the Dallas Cowboys won't steal the election for Obama. Acorn's only crime is registering Democratic voters.
Brad Friedman:
Barack Obama and the Democrats are stealing the election. Massive voter fraud is being carried out, even as we speak, by their henchmen, known by the innocuous sounding Association for Community Organisations for Reform Now, or Acorn. Clever bastards.
The only problem? Despite the screaming wall-to-wall coverage of "Democratic voter fraud in 11 swing states" as seen on Fox News and even the once-respectable CNN, none of it's true. None of it.
In just the last week, we've had a phoney stunt raid in swing state Nevada (where Acorn had been cooperating with officials for months, concerning problem canvassers they'd long ago fired); a Republican election official in swing state Missouri tell Fox News that she's being beseiged with fraudulent registration forms from Acorn (in a county where they've not done any registration work since August); a Republican sheriff in swing state Ohio, who, the very next day, suddenly requested the names and addresses of hundreds of early voters (with evidence of exactly zero wrong doing, but lots of Democratic-leaning college student in the particular county, and John McCain's state campaign chair as a partner in the investigation); and a screaming front page headline in Rupert Murdoch's New York Post about a guy who claims he was somehow tricked by Acorn into registering 72 times (but read the article closely to note he says he registered at the same address each time, which, even if true, would allow him - you guessed it - precisely one legal vote.)
It's an old Republican scam, but it's never been carried out with more zeal than this year. The Republicans have been putting so much time, money and resources into the propaganda leading up to this over the last four years, we should have expected no less.

I'm Very Bummed About Opus..
Berkeley Breathed's 'Opus' Comic Strip Will End Next Month
By Dave Astor
Published: October 06, 2008
NEW YORK "Opus" is ending Nov. 2, Washington Post Writers Group (WPWG) Comics Editor Amy Lago announced this afternoon.
In this Sept. 8 blog post, E&P had wondered if Berkeley Breathed might pull the plug on his Sunday-only strip -- given all the hints the cartoonist was making about that in his comic.
"Opus," which began almost five years ago, will be the third comic Breathed ends. The first and most famous was the Pulitzer Prize-winning "Bloom County" (1980-1989), followed by "Outland" (1989-1995). "Bloom County" had about 1,300 clients when it stopped.
Breathed, who has done a number of children's books, insists that this time he's getting out of the comics business for good. He joked in a statement that the best way he can help his country during the current financial and political crisis is to "write funny stories for America's kids. I call on John McCain to join me."
WPWG Editorial Director/General Manager Alan Shearer praised Breathed, saying the cartoonist "pushed all sorts of topical and stylistic envelopes" and "influenced a generation of new cartoonists."
Lago said Breathed is ending his comic with a contest asking readers to guess Opus the penguin's fate. Currently, the character is in prison courtesy of U.S. authorities. The actual solution will be available only on the Internet, not in newspapers, according to WPWG.
In addition to doing children's books, Breathed in recent years has worked on screenplays and novels. His "Pete & Pickles" kids' book is due in stores Oct. 16, and the Californian is finishing a novel for young readers called "Flawed Dogs."

Any comments on the "Opus" ending, "Bloom County," or Berkeley Breathed? Feel free to leave them under this E&P blog post.
