- By PAUL KRUGMAN President Bush isn't a conservative. He's a radical - the leader of a coalition that deeply dislikes America as it is. Part of that coalition wants to tear down the legacy of Franklin Roosevelt, eviscerating Social Security and, eventually, Medicare. Another part wants to break down the barriers between church and state. And thanks to a heavy turnout by evangelical Christians, Mr. |

- Mark Frauenfelder: My friend, Steve Silberman, who has written probably 15 of my favorite 20 stories in Wired, wrote this fantastic essay about being an American gay married man. He sez: "With all the current speculation about gay marriage sinking the election for Kerry, it occurred to me that no one was hearing from gay people who have actually gotten married. The entire debate was turning on abstractions. |

- It seems that a few of these legal cases show up a year, and it's about time the issues were more clearly laid out. Someone who felt they were ripped off by a company, set up a website bashing that company. In response, the company sued, claiming trademark violation and defamation. There are all sorts of issues raised by this. Is it really defamation to complain about bad treatment you received? |

- Ok, first of all, I recognise that I WANT TO BELIEVE that the election was rigged, because I would feel less bad about a coup than I would about the people actually voting these fundamentalists into power. (But that there was a chance of the race being even close was already profoundly disturbing.) That said, the mainstream media has been saying that there were a "handful" of "glitches" with the voting machines this time around. Well, the first-hand accounts being posted on blackboxvoting.com (syndicated on LiveJournal as bboxvoting_rss) are pretty extreme, e. |

- "Committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the President". Oh, jeez -- it looks the first major vote-tallying computer error has come out of Ohio, to the tune of nearly 4,000 votes accidentally awarded to Bush in one voting precinct alone. Given that the current difference between Bush and Kerry in the state is 136,483 votes, and there are hundreds of voting precincts in Ohio, all it would take is 34 more errors like this and we'd have a new President. Of course, I also ask myself: why is this story currently only running on the local newspaper websites? |

- Couldn't resist putting this up to compare with the last post. This shows, in red, the parts of Canada where at least 45% of voters in last June's election voted for conservative/christian parties. All Canada's major cities are blue by this criterion, except Calgary in SW Alberta. For those Americans who are thinking of coming to Canada and want to avoid such areas they are from West to East: The Eastern suburbs/exurbs of Vancouver BC, the Okanagan Valley in Central BC, the mountainous SE corner of BC, the stretch of BC from Prince Rupert on the West Coast up to the NE corner, all of Alberta except the City of Edmonton, rural South and Central Saskatchewan, rural SW Manitoba, the rural areas of South Central and far Eastern Ontario, the rural areas on the South Coast of New Brunswick and the North Coast of Nova Scotia. |
