What to do now

(in order, to make it clear I'm not just parroting crap I hear like a Bush supporter):

My friend Mike said it. I said it. Randi Rhodes and Greg Palast said it. Mike Malloy ranted forcefully about it for three hours last night.

Putting it simply, we have two years to save democracy in America. The electronic voting machines either need to go or need to be drastically revamped (I have a very detailed idea about this, but I'll not bore y'all now).

Rural precincts that recorded -25,000,000 votes for a ballot initiative ... Machines that crashed and lost all votes recorded up to that point ... known security problems with almost every brand of machine.

Then there's the county somewheres (sorry, details are slippery for me first thing in the morning like this) in which election facilities CALLED the polling places, instructing them to disconnect the modems and bring the memory cards from the machines in. I'm digging for more info on this, to see if there's a particular demographic to these precincts (you can see where I'm going with this).

Let's not kid ourselves -- Sure, it should've been a blowout, and clearly we haven't done a good job of reaching people in the heart of America. And if it had been a blowout, these under-the-radar levels of vote rigging would not have changed anything.

But this election was stolen, ladies and gentlemen, just as surely as was 2000. And more covertly.

Remember (as if you've forgotten), the Plumbers are back. And their unholy love child is Karl Rove.

Oh, and John Shadegg needs to go down. Anyone wanna help run a possible political campaign?

Yeah, I'm done crying in my beer. I'm f-ing pissed off, now.
