Hat Tip to CJ at LGF

Andrew Cohen has a story up on The Atlantic talking about a late game change by the GOP in a rather blatant attempt to supress the vote in Ohio:

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Voter advocates are criticizing an order by Ohio's elections chief dealing with the casting of provisional ballots. Advocates are saying on Saturday that the order by Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted late Friday wrongly puts the burden of recording the form of ID used on a provisional ballot on voters, not pollworkers ...

Specifically, if you go to vote, and you get a provisional ballot, the new rules state that you are required to write down what form of ID you use, not the poll workers.

"The bottom line is that (Secretary of State Jon Husted) designed a form that violates Ohio law by improperly shifting to voters the poll workers' information-recording responsibilities regarding ID to voters, and then he wants to trash votes where there is a problem with the form on the section he misassigned to voters," said Cleveland attorney Subodh Chandra, who filed the motion ....
Husted spokesman Matt McClellan said the Friday directive actually was designed to concur with the Oct. 26 order of U.S. District Court Judge Algenon Marbley in a legal dispute over provisional ballots. "We wanted to make sure we complied with those directions," McClellan said. Voters will complete the same form they did in the March primary and August special elections. We're not doing anything new," he said. "Voters have to provide ID when they vote provisionally."

Psaki also said Romney's team is "bordering on the complete bizarre" by saying they'll look out for Obama to lie during the debate.
"I have seen them say that they’re watching out for the President to just spew lies during the debate," Psaki said. "So that is bordering on the complete bizarre, given that Mitt Romney’s team is the one who has said they’re not going to be dictated by facts."

Be forewarned: Romney's not expecting President Obama to lie.

They're prepping the Villagers for false equivalence when Romney gets caught lying.

I am doing a persuasive speech on Occupy Wallstreet for my COMM 101 class. My preview (thesis / problem) statement is, tentatively, "The Middle Class is Dying."

The solution, of course, is "Support the Occupy Wallstreet movement and other progressive ideals."

But I need some data, and figured I would ask around here while I do my own research. I've seen several great diaries here and other resources linked from here about the goals of the Occupy movements and the death of the middle class -- income disparity, removal of the safety net, etc etc. I'm just not having much luck finding them now that I look.

The tide is turning.

The Republicans and Insurance industry are nearly in a full scale rout. They know, as well as we do, that the public is going to get healthcare reform. Their goal has been downgraded from preventing it to perverting it.

You see this in the Town Halls as well.

Alaska's mission - to contribute to America.
My decision was also fortified during this most recent trip to Kosovo and Landstuhl, to visit our wounded soldiers overseas, those who sacrifice themselves in war for OUR freedom and security... we can ALL learn from our selfless Troops... they're bold, they don't give up, they take a stand and know that LIFE is short so they choose to NOT waste time. And we made common sense conservative choices to eliminate personal luxuries like the jet, the chef, the junkets..., the entourage. We created a petroleum integrity office to oversee safe development.

Let me go back to a comfortable analogy for me - sports... basketball. Hi Alaska, I appreciate speaking directly TO you, the people I serve, as your Governor. And I'm doing that - keeping our eye on the ball that represents sound priorities - smaller government, energy independence, national security, freedom!

So, a kid was swapping out a McCain sign for an Obama sign.

The homeowner the kid was doing this to decided to illegally booby trap the sign by hooking the signpost up to a power source for an Electric Fence.

In other words, this good ol' boy jerry-rigged live electrical current from the mains in his house to a freaking signpost, all because someone stole 2 of his signs.

Pretty low, but, that's not the lowest part of this story.

One of my coworkers at MyJob (The largest computer maker in the world, I'm in their Idaho call center) sent me this new one. I can't seem to find it anywhere, so maybe I got an early version of it or something.

Regardless, it's so blatantly full of lies that I can barely stand looking at it.

Quoted below the flip -- help me find sources to shoot this crap down -- and hey, maybe we can craft an antiviral reply. You know, collect these smear-filled form letters in one place, and create form letters with the truth in them (with links to other sites) for replying.

Score one for common sense.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) ― California's high court has ruled doctors cannot withhold care to gays or lesbians based on religious beliefs.

(Specifically, a private fertility clinic cannot deny service to a lesbian couple simply because they are gay.)

Hate to link to an AP piece, but, yeah.

Good for Mr. Rather! After being swiftboated by the far Right and having the story of Bush the 2nd going AWOL being covered up by false outrage at a minor part of his expose on it, he's decided to fight back.

In the form of a $70,000,000 USD lawsuit against his former employers for throwing him under the bus.

A bit of a quick diary here, as the whole thing has gotten me angry enough that I really need to take a break.

Johnson and Johnson, a company that owns about 230 smaller companies, is suing the Red Cross.

For using the Red Cross symbol.
