Electronic Voting Machines Good This Time?

McKinney Criticizes Electronic Voting

Rep. Cynthia McKinney, in her first public appearance since losing her re-election bid last week, said Tuesday that the black community needs to oppose electronic voting machines, which she warned can be used to steal elections.

McKinney also said the state of Georgia should prohibit crossover voting among political parties in primary elections and end its system of runoff elections.

I haven't heard anyone foaming-at-the-mouth about the electronic voting machines in Connecticut. I guess elections are only stolen by evil Republicans when they win.

Getting Crowded

By way of Smash:

The solar system has 12 planets.

That is the conclusion, to be announced today, of an international panel formed to devise a scientific definition of a planet and settle an increasingly intense dispute over whether Pluto qualifies. The panel suggests retaining Pluto and immediately adding three new planets to the nine that are familiar to any schoolchild: Ceres, currently considered a large asteroid; Charon, now considered a moon of Pluto; and Xena, a recently discovered object that is larger than Pluto.

But the group's proposal also makes clear that many more objects in the solar system -- perhaps dozens of them -- could qualify as planets after further study.

More planets now than there was last week - at least, by the definition that is.

Kind of makes the Earth seem just a little smaller, huh?

Journalists Kidnapped in Gaza

2 Fox News Reporters Kidnapped in Gaza

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) -- Masked Palestinian gunmen ambushed a car carrying a Fox News crew in Gaza City on Monday and kidnapped two journalists, including one American, witnesses and Fox said.

"We can confirm that two of our people were taken against their will in Gaza," Fox News said in a statement.

A Fox employee in Gaza, who declined to give his name because he was not authorized to release information about the incident, said American reporter Steve Centanni and New Zealand cameraman Olaf Wiig were kidnapped.

Even if you're someone who doesn't watch Fox News because you think they're B-A-D, say a prayer for these two men.
