A brief splash of politics -- Hormuz and Unverified Voting

Had these links floating around waiting for a blog posting for a few days now, figured I'd just share them real quick.

First a well written Commondreams.org piece on the recent Gulf of Tonkin -- I mean Straight of Hormuz jilted attempt at making an excuse for war. Next, a wired.com article investigative piece on some of the people behind electronic voting -- you'll never guess, they have GOP connections -- no, really!

[via Estu and Astock, respectively]

(Remember kids, if the unverified black box voting pisses you off, you can always just hack the stupid things and elect someone dear to your heart for your district -- I kid, I kid.)

Enjoy catching up on your blogwork,

Bp

I don't know B, doesn't seem the same to me. No one disputes that the Iranian boats where there, just that embellishments seemed to have been used liberally. And if it had been me out there with the thought of what happened to the Cole, it would have been hard not to shoot.

"OH NOES, SOMEONE SAID SOMETHING AND IT WASNT TRUE!!!!111111"
It's Washington DC, get a fucking helmet.

And about Commonground. Progressive, eh? Does that mean they listen to Rush and Dream Theater when they work on their "news" articles? So now we just need a centrist "progressive" website and a conservative "progressive" website. Whoot, I am firing up 2112 right now.
