Prove it
Author: Raine    Date: 11/19/2012 13:58:38

I forgot to ask if someone would fill in for this Monday, so instead, I would point you back To Velveeta's post from yesterday:

Ill add one important point. I am of the opinion that if Anonymous does indeed have this information, it should be turned over to federal authorities.
This isn't a game. By not handing that information over, they are potentially sending the message that Rove is untouchable.

The owness is up to them to prove it. These shenanigans have gone on far too long.

R.A.T.s in the sewer?
Author: velveeta jones    Date: 11/18/2012 15:15:34

Good morning, I was going to write an open blog filled with silly pictures and random cartoons because, frankly, my brain is broken. But then I stumbled on this:
Through the website Wonkette today, the hacker collective Anonymous released a statement on the election, and the content of the statement is an eye opener:

Rear View Mirror

Well, it's been a bit since the election now. With thoughts moving on towards the fiscal cliff and perhaps filibuster reform, most of us have put the bitter battle behind us.

I want to call it back for just a moment to ponder something - the electoral college.

We all know how this works; none of us actually cast a vote for either Obama or Romney. In this Commonwealth, it was listed on the ballot as "electors for Obama". Here, we have what's called "winner take all"...whoever wins the popular vote in the state gets all the electors too, and they must vote for the candidate as required by the Constitution.

But is that really the best way?

Generals Gone Wild
Author: BobR    Date: 11/16/2012 13:45:34

It's been a strange confluence of stories recently: two Generals (so far) have had their marital affairs revealed... the attack in Benghazi being investigated... one of the women involved disappearing... It has all the makings of a Hollywood thriller. We may never know what is going on behind the scenes, but what's happening in plain view is pretty amazing.

Prior to the election, the Republicans were trying to create an aura of scandal around the attacks on the American Consulate at Benghazi in Libya. The accusations were all over the place, from "Obama did nothing for 7 hours", to "Obama lied to Americans about what happened", to "Obama is incompetent" (you can't be simulaneously a devious genius and incompetent). As a result, the Republican witch-hunter Daryll Issa decided to hold hearings on the attacks. Like the "Fast & Furious" scandal that they tried to create, it looks like there will be no "there" there.

On the Road Again
Author: BobR    Date: 11/14/2012 12:58:48

I am currently traveling for work, which is why I have't been around here this week. It's also why it slipped my mind that I needed to write a blog this morning. So if anyone feels inspired to post anything - please do, and then merge this lame blog stub in.

Camping with Chemo
Author: TriSec    Date: 11/12/2012 01:40:46

First and foremost.....I SURVIVED!

This trip had been bumped and rescheduled...we were supposed to go a week ago (on an off week for me), but it got changed at the last minute to a treatment week.

This was Javi's first real trip with the Troop - there was no way I was going to miss this.

So, like a good Scout Parent, after schlepping to the hospital to get rid of my pump Friday afternoon, I made sure I stayed active until the troop was ready to depart, in an effort to avoid my Friday pm crash. With the help of Five-Hour Energy, it worked!

Divide
Author: velveeta jones    Date: 11/11/2012 14:53:13

And now we come to the time when we begin the task of digging the grave for the Republican party. The party has died. No more Grand Ol' Party, no more red, white and blue Elephant with its three stars; the elephant will be buried next to Teddy Roosevelt.

Science Saturday
Author: Will in Chicago    Date: 2012-11-10 11:30:07

In the focus on the election, there are some important science stories that I thought I would look at today. Even as the election becomes a memory, many Americans are still facing the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. This disaster has focused much attention on the issue of global climate change which was seldom discussed during the campaign season
