Voter Fraud: More Than 1,000 Voter Cards Suspect “Accuse others of what you do.” - Attributed to Vladimir Lenin and Karl Marx The Democrat political playbook calls for a “pre-emptive strike” and allegations of “voter suppression” where none exist. However, liberal-left organizations perform the Democrat Party’s dirty work of registering illegal aliens, the senile and mentally ill, felons and others who are easily manipulated that party handlers. More than 1,000 new voter registration cards received by the Bernalillo County Clerk’s

IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING WHY YOUR KID NEEDS $15: “Brisingr” is here! (Marjorie Kehe, September 19, 2008, CS Monitor) Booksellers throughout the US and UK are gearing up today.

Hanging on every word of Impact If you prefer more wrestling and less talking on wrestling programs, you probably hated last night’s TNA Impact. However, if strong promos are more your thing, then you probably really liked the show. The highlight was a great promo by the returning Jeff Jarrett. Kurt Angle, Sting, Samoa Joe and Jay Lethal also were very good on the mic. Plus, Mick Foley made his much-anticipated TNA debut in a cameo role at the end of the show. With all the talking and just four matches, the show never dragged
Gut Feel Gut Feel Brian Shannon Writes: During extraordinary market conditions, traditional rules sometimes get pushed aside in favor of "gut feel" trading.

The video can be viewed by logging into the "bonus tab" at THE BOOK website. The username and password to access the video are on pa

Weekly Geeks #17: Quote #7 Ack, running out of time again so I’m bailing out from writing explanations and looking for links right now. I’ll update and include those tomorrow, because I was really looking forward to the last two quotes. So here’s my last quote for WG #17, still from the book Checkmate by Dorothy Dunnett (and omitting names and a few phrases for the sake of avoiding spoilers). Lymond is saying he’s already pledged to someone, something his companion doesn’t expect: She saw that, looking ahead in the fog

“oh hai”, how are you?; Here’s a little something that somehow got by me: Ryan Adams has been busy and there are now official release dates, both for his book Infinity Blues and… a new album! The former is out in March, unless you preorder via the publisher, while the latter, Cardinology, will be out worldwide from 28th October on Lost Highway. Stereogum has the tracklist: Ryan’s press team’s promising it’ll be “concise,” “focused,” and “unadorned,” so I guess it’ll less Jerry Cold Roses stuff and more of the Wester

The Girl Whisperer as published by the Sunday Guardian September 14 CHANCE ENCOUNTERS I went to a birthday party last night; lot’s of food and music. People laughed, danced and chatted, and there dancing in a snazzy hat and a short dress, was the girl of my dreams. She was beautiful by every standard, she was effervescent, the soul of the party...and she didn’t even look at me. I’d met her a few times before so I knew her inability to ‘see’ me was deliberate. But the point of my story?
