"Impossible." -- David Bear, Diebold What the chimp did: Simply by double-clicking the file, we opened a real Diebold audit log file, using real Diebold software. We then highlighted the records we wanted to obliterate. (Baxter, the chimp, has difficulty handling a mouse.) Baxter then hit the "Delete" key, erasing the audit log records, and then the "Enter" key, confirming the command. What is the audit log? It is an automatically generated report that, like the "black box" in an airplane, is supposed to keep a record of everything that happens in the election. Supposedly, according to Diebold, it will...

It is being reported by major news outlets like FoxNews and ABC News now that Bill Burkett, the source of the fake memos, first sent them to the Kerry campaign before CBS even knew about them. The Associated Press obtained a copy of an email transmitted to a list of Texas Democrats about a conversation he had with Kerry campaign advisor, and former Senator, Max Cleland. The email to the Texas Democrats indicated that Burkett and Cleland spoke about information that would counter criticism of Kerry's Vietnam War service. It stated, "I asked if they wanted to counterattack or ride...

Teresa Heinz Kerry, encouraging volunteers as they busily packed supplies Wednesday for hurricane relief efforts in the Caribbean, said she was concerned the effort was too focused on sending clothes instead of essentials like water and electric generators. "Clothing is wonderful, but let them go naked for a while, at least the kids," said Heinz Kerry, the wife of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry

The Democrats are no longer the majority party. Is this the year they'll finally admit it? The Democratic Party is in descendancy. It's not just that John Kerry's campaign is sinking like a stone, or that George W. Bush is turning out to be a resilient politician. The Democratic leadership is in electoral denial, failing to grasp a profound shift among American voters and therefore on the cusp not of winning back control of one of the branches of government, but of handing control over to Republicans for a generation or more.

NEW YORK - Teresa Heinz Kerry, encouraging volunteers as they busily packed supplies Wednesday for hurricane relief efforts in the Caribbean, said she was concerned the effort was too focused on sending clothes instead of essentials like water and electric generators. "Clothing is wonderful, but let them go naked for a while, at least the kids," said Heinz Kerry, the wife of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry (news - web sites). "Water is necessary, and then generators, and then food, and then clothes." Heinz Kerry stopped by a market in the heart of Brooklyn's Caribbean community, where she spoke French...

..."As the world is living the 3rd memorial of the 9/11 attacks, the BBC opened a forum for Arab readers to allow them to voice their feelings about the “hatred wave against America”. This time the forum has a special significance because Arabs are directly related to this topic and the largest part of this “wave” comes from Arab countries. I’ve found that all Iraqi participants (except for two) carry no hatred for America, not to mention the admiration and gratitude for America that were clear in some Iraqis’ comments. Anyway, I decided to translate most of the comments posted...

I'ts time to report CBS of the scam Dan Rather is pulling, write CBS at: scams@cbsnews.com call: (212)975 3247

Laura Ingaham was just on Bill O'Reilly and she cleaned his socks. Best Quote, "Bill, those people weren't right wing when they were buying your books and making your show Number 1, why are you calling them right wing now?" Stopped him dead. It trully was an INTERVENTION to let the Big O know that the people that made him are well aware that he is sucking up to the liberal elites that he parties in New York with. The women on The View despise him but he just can't see it cause they "SMILE IN HIS FACE, ALL THE...

Where's Dan Rather? "Rumpus" has the exclusive.

Scenes From the Crass Struggle--II Here's a DemocraticUnderground.com posting from one "Joanne98" last Friday (quoted verbatim, except the redaction of a four-letter word): Since tomorrow is the anniversary of the "excuse" the cowboy uses to attack anybody he wants to. I'm bracing myself for the ongoing images of people in small red state towns exploiting the victims of 9/11. CNN is already showing people in small town Texas CRYING over New York City's loses. Well, you know what. You never liked New Yorkers. You hated New Yorkers remember. If you really cared about the victims of 9/11 you would vote...

We conservatives are all saddened by the news that Rush Limbaugh is being investigated by law enforcement authorities for illegal buys of prescription painkillers. If accounts being bandied about the media are accurate, then Limbaugh: a) has procured tremendous amounts of highly addictive narcotic medications from his pill-pushing housekeeper Wilma Cline, and, b) is likely to be subjected to arrest. Oh, by the way, dear Wilma sold her hot celebrity story to The National Enquirer for about four hundred thousand dollars. Am I surprised by the overall situation? Yes and no. Given Limbaugh's outstanding analytical mind and sharp wit, it's...

Eight of the last 14 people indicted for felony sex crimes in Yamhill County were previously convicted of similar offenses, a review of court records shows. The recent surge in repeat offender arrests, which began in late April with the arrest of two-time prior offender Chad Earl Updike, has authorities baffled. Deputy District Attorney Cynthia Easterday expressed surprise at the numbers. "It's more uncommon than anything," she said. Probation officer Randy Settel, who specializes in the supervision of sex offenders, said he noticed the recent spike in recidivism but couldn't explain it. "Most offenders have very few priors," he said.The...

Anyone else getting sick of the "rotation" news on Fox, et al? This stuff is getting as repetetive as a Top 40 pop radio station--the same songs over and over again, repeated every 30 minutes. Rank speculation, dull commentary, same information over and over. Fox just wasted my time telling me about a "false alarm" in Kuwait. Come on, "journalists"! Don't you all have something news and/or different? How about some perspective? How about some info about how Saddam came to power? How about something on the culture/history of Iraq? How about some info on Saddam's henchmen? Or would that...
