Let me get this straight. Obama wins Indiana in 2008, becoming the first Democrat to win the state since 1964, and Evan Bayh, Indiana's "moderate" Democratic senator who is up for re-election in 2010, thumbs his nose at the President, first by saying that the Dems ought to prematurely capitulate and not use reconciliation to climate change legislation, MSNBC story, and now he is one of just 2 Senate Dems to vote AGAINST Obama's budget! Senate roll call vote on budget

Buried in the bottom of a story on p. A6 of the NYTimes today is the report that an employee of Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg Brown & Root has been sentenced to 12 months in prison and ordered to pay $380,000 in restitution to the U.S. for accepting kickbacks for subcontracts for dining services for our troops from a Saudi subcontractor (who was also sentenced). This should be getting a lot more press.

We all know that this is the tip of the iceberg of the rampant corruption that has marred this abominable war in Iraq.

I say this with a heavy heart. The latest returns just came in from King County. And Burner's vote total in King Co. is not increasing at a fast enough pace. Right now she is down 87,062 - 83,942. In fact, the differential from last night only narrowed by 125 votes.

Here are the latest King Co. totals:

You have to add them to the Pierce Co. totals:

I wrote this for a Republican friend last night:

Twas the night before Election Day
and all through the House (and Senate),
Not a corrupt lobbyist was stirring
nor was the little mouse (in Tom Foley's pants).
Ted Haggard lay awake
as he tossed and turned in bed (with the Bush administration),
With visions of a ban on gay marriage,
while he received head (from a male prostitute).

Yes, all through the land
little Republicans slept tight (with their wallets),
Knowing that the end of tax cuts for the rich
was well within sight.
For in 24 hours
some sanity would be restored,
By men like Jim Webb, Bob Casey,
Jon Tester, and even Harold Ford.

The countless lies of the Bush administration
would finally be revealed,
And the fate of warrantless wiretapping
would at last be sealed.
So Dick Cheney's gone hunting
and the U.S. continues to fight (in a country that never attacked us),
And I say to you my friends,
"A Merry Election Day to all, and to the Democrats, a good night!"

CNN trying to make up with administration?

It's now 11:30pm on the West Coast - 2:30am EST - and the John Kerry flap is STILL the lead story on CNN's website, while it's been bumped down from the lead story on most respectable news sites (Fox News and DrudgeReport excluded - I expect them to keep the story on top until the election). It's been the lead story all day on CNN, whereas other news sites cycled off of it until Kerry's apology.

Do you think CNN is trying to show this administration that it is penitent for its "sin" of broadcasting the Iraqi insurgent video? How hypocritical is Lynne Cheney to blast Wolf Blitzer for CNN's airing of this "terrorist" video all while the Republican Party PAYS MILLIONS to air Osama bin Laden's threats.

I'm surprised this story hasn't been picked up on the Daily Kos yet.

A recent AP story explains how Bush cousin John M. Walker, Jr., a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (which hears appeals from NY, Conn., and Vt.) struck and killed a police officer while driving his SUV last Tuesday night. http://www.boston.com/... Walker is the first cousin of former President George H.W. Bush and therefore the 1st cousin, once-removed of "the Decider."

This incident is eerily reminiscent of Laura Bush's mowing down of her friend in a car accident in 1963 after running a stop sign. http://www.usatoday.com/...
