I think we are being misled into fighting issues which are only peripheral.

Race is a means to get what they want, but it is not the core issue.

This is obviously a rhetorical question.

You may know the answer from the first question itself. But will the kool aid drinkers know?

OK, here we go ...

Who am I?

I realize that I probably should not be bringing here a song from the civil rights for the fear of being demagogued.

However, we are hopefully about to pass a momentous legislation, the first time since the 60s, so I think it is apt.

I also realize that I should not copy and paste entire works. However, wikipedia states that it is now in public domain, so hopefully I am good.

Anyway, here we go... although we have miles to go before the last vote, this will help us keep the vigil.

And as Barack Obama said during his campaign ... NOW is the time.

PASS. THE. BILL.

Cheney government took 4 days to respond to shooting an old man. This is nothing new, but has precedence. Shall we start calling Cheney/Bush presidency as Day 4 Presidency.

This has got to be the joke of the millenium. We have breaking news banner whenver Schiavo's parents sneeze, file lawsuits, have them annuled, or whatever.

But WTF happened in Iraq. For months before January 2005, Honorable George W Bush said Iraqi people are having free and fair elections. This was an issue during election campaign too.

Then came Jan 30, 2005 and a "fair and free (balanced)" election was held.

Why are republicans worried about Washington?

Check the current recount numbers

I took a snapshot at Noon PST.

As of now, the recount has added 144 votes to Dems and 190 votes to Repubs. This brings the Repub lead to 42 (original lead) + 46 (gain in recount)= 88.

If you look at the recount pattern, nearly 0.061 percentage of votes are added to Dems, and nearly 0.059 percentage for Repubs. Both percentages are so close that we should be able to assume this to be the trend and assume 0.06% as the increment for the rest of the counties. This should be true to a single digit extrapolation.

Calculations
- 144 additional Dem on the base of 235,794 = 0.061 %
- 190 additional Repub on the base of 322,677 = 0.059%

Now, the remaining counties are Dem heavy, and applying the pattern on them gives an additional 682 votes to Dems and an additional 630 votes to Repubs. That's an additional 52 for Dems.

That still does not bring Dems to victory. It reduces the republican margin from 88 (current) to 36.

A few months ago, Al Gore took the center stage when he called for the resignation of Rumsfeld, Tenet and others.

I definitely do not have as much credibility or visibility as Al Gore, but I wanted to call upon a few people to sacrifice their personal goals and help the democratic party. Read More

We know the following clues

"Let me finish" when no one stopped him
Bulge in the back
Normandy speech prompting
Interpreter said it is likely

However, are they enough to convict with a "clear and convincing" proof? Can we do some more digging and get more pointers, if not conclusive proof.

Here is a thought... Read More

Why should I support Kerry, you say. Bush is fighting a good war, you say. He cares for us by giving us tax cuts and health benefits, you say. His family has a track record of public service, you say. Yeah he has some flaws, but then Kerry is worse. Why should I support Kerry, you say?

Although numerous others have tried to explain this to you, I thought I will put down my thoughts on this just in case mine is the last straw which breaks the camel's back. Here I go: Read More

When I have been down and out, many people have consoled me saying "Whatever happens, happens for a reason". I have done the same to others at times. I have heard this in Asia, am not sure this is a equally valid saying in US.

Looking back at the last couple of presidential elections, I see this saying to apply (at least to the people looking through my biased filters).

Knowing what you know now about these people, don't you think that it was nice these people lost.

John "Bush can do no wrong" McCain
Robert "Self Inflicted Wound" Dole
Joe "Republican" Lieberman
George "Lost Florida" W Bush
