The politics of baseball
Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Thu, 10/28/2004 - 00:30You know, when Kim entered the race for State Rep in our heavily Republican district, I figured she had about as much chance of winning as the Red Sox had of sweeping the World Series after coming back from being down three games in the playoffs, and having it culminate during a lunar eclipse.
The way Kim's campaign is going, I still think the chances are about the same.

According to his blog, Josh Ferguson has finally voted. With the Blogger’s for Bush banner on his site, I expect that I probably would have voted differently than he did on many issues. However, is blog entry about voting has some very important comments.
He lives in California and notes that he and his wife spent six hours studying the 24 different propositions on his ballot. He writes about this:

I currently have quite a few different blogs. Some of them, such as the ones I have on Blogger, LiveJournal and Xanga, I have primarily to test their software and the be able to authenticate into their systems.

Connecticut Doctor's for Poor Public Policy

This is a PAC that that is supporting an anti-abortion activist who is campaigning against PACs.
The American Medical Students Association disagrees with the policies that the PAC are promoting.
Now, they are handing out vicious attack ads like this, and this.
Please check here, and here to see if your doctor is participating in this vicious attack group. If so, please let your doctor know that you do not approve of such conduct.

Back during the Republican National Convention, I had the opportunity to hear what a few conservatives where saying about voter fraud in the coming election. I wrote up comments about it here.
Back then I wrote about John Fund, member of the editorial board of the Wall Street Journal and in 1982 a chief investigative reporter for syndicated columnists Rowland Evans and Robert Novack, suggested that if the election is close, we’ll have more what happened in Florida in 2000, the law suits will happen across the country.
