KY Election Officials Arrested, Charged With 'Changing Votes at E-Voting Machines'
http://www.bradblog.com/?p=7001

Five Clay County officials, including the circuit court judge, the county clerk, and election officers were arrested Thursday after they were indicted on federal charges accusing them of using corrupt tactics to obtain political power and personal gain.

The 10-count indictment, unsealed Thursday, accused the defendants of a conspiracy from March 2002 until November 2006 that violated the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). RICO is a federal statute that prosecutors use to combat organized crime. The defendants were also indicted for extortion, mail fraud, obstruction of justice, conspiracy to injure voters' rights and conspiracy to commit voter fraud.

According to the indictment, these alleged criminal actions affected the outcome of federal, local, and state primary and general elections in 2002, 2004, and 2006.

Just more "isolated incidents" huh ?
You can find plenty more here.

Tell me folks, if we can't even float a halfway respectable fiction of a "fair" election - why the hell should we be bound by the results ?

(If anyone gets this, I'll be surprised)

Stainless Steel Rat?

I cheated - I googled Hector Harapo.

Haven't read any of the Stainless Steel Rat books, but now I'm thinking I really really should!

Lemme upgrade that reccommendation of maybe-should to "damn well better!".

Funny thing, one of my nieces inherited the sideways thought process, which has caused no small amount of trouble already, and in an attempt to better her reading comprehension and guide her into less socially-destructive use of her talents, I gave her my Stainless Steel Rat collection.

Despite her reading comprehension and skill skyrocketing due to finally having reading matter that actually interested her, the teacher in question threw a bit of a hissy when she found out about that, stating that she felt the material was inappropriate for a young teen girl...

To which I pointed out the malicious and biased nature of the reading material her class was offering, Richard Connell's "The Most Dangerous Game" standing out as a particularly shining example - that shut her up quick.

Her history teacher ain't so fond of me neither, given that my niece is well armed with the single sentence questions capable of utterly destroying conventional public school "history" lessons in mere seconds.

"But what about the Anti-Federalists ?"
"Isn't a draft a form of slavery ?"
"Wasn't using one state's militia against another illegal ?"

According to her, he starts twitching whenever she raises her hand - I told her that's a GOOD thing.

I remember my teachers calling me stupid because I had the reading age of a 7 year old when I was 11. Then I was diagnosed dyslexic and by the age of 12 had a reading age of 15. The reason I was diagnosed Dyslexic and not written off as stupid was because my parents refused to believe I was stupid because I asked intelligent questions, or to put it another way, questions my teachers couldn't answer

.

I remember my first school report from one of my secondary teachers. He said I was doing well, he was learning a lot

.

There's types of pupils teachers don't like, tend to be the one's that know more than they do, and don't mind challenging them on it. A truly great teacher is the one who likes that dynamic.

I was reading in the paper today about this dwarf that got pickpocketed. How could anyone stoop so low?

Been there, done that, Cit.

They initially thought I was autistic cause I wouldn't speak - little did they know that was part and parcel of the fact that the slightest noise that made my father aware of my presence or existence would result in...
Unpleasantness.

Of course, when I *did* open my mouth, they didn't like THAT result either, since one of the first times I really "spoke" was to defy the pledge and take up issue with "their god" being not only part of the pledge, but on all our money too - when the Constitution said that was a no-no.

One third grade teacher in particular pointed out that my grim silence was possibly related to the old saying "if you can't say something nice..."

Yanno, she was prolly right.
