Ok, while sitting here waiting to dole out the candy to the trick or treaters, I went ahead and blogged. (Trying VERY hard to ignore the chocolate screaming at me from the bowl of candy for the lil spooks)


"The New York Post reports that there's another 12 minutes of tape from Osama bin Laden, in which he bemoans that lack of violence accompanying the elections in Afghanistan and notes the toll of war on terror has had on Al Qaeda.

Officials said that in the 18-minute long tape - of which only six minutes were aired on the al-Jazeera Arab television network in the Middle East on Friday - bin Laden bemoans the recent democratic elections in Afghanistan and the lack of violence involved with it.
On the tape, bin Laden also says his terror organization has been hurt by the U.S. military's unrelenting manhunt for him and his cohorts on the Afghan-Pakistani border.
A portion of the left-out footage includes a tirade aimed at President Bush and his father, former President George H.W. Bush, claiming the war in Iraq is purely over oil." via Wizbang

I have seen a lot of dirty politics in this election, but this about takes the cake. The media CENSORS part of a tape by the man who masterminded the horror that descended on us on 9-11 because:

1) Bin Laden admitting that the war on terror has hurt Al Qaeda would help President Bush, proving he did the right thing.

2) The fact that the "war for oil" democratic talking point is being spouted by the personification of evil might make people think twice about BELIEVING those talking points.

I feel sick, I really do.

Jessica's Well does a most superb job of contrasting hollywood's "I care so much because you all love me so much" million dollar women and the women we freed. Rock on Jessica!

AP reports: A shortage of at least 500,000 poll workers nationwide means many voters could face long lines, cranky volunteers and polling places that don't open or close on schedule.

I'm thinking this could have a negative effect on the Mary Poppins and Elvis vote.

Perhaps the shortage is due to this:

"Michael Moore says a total of 1,200 professional and nonprofessional cameramen, filmmakers and videographers will bring their cameras to polling places in Ohio and Florida to prevent "intimidation."
Moorewatch notes that "Moore himself is BLATANTLY trying to intimidate people with this ploy," and has issued this call: "For every camera crew you see, get two people to film *them*. Watch the watchers."
That's on top of the 100 or so U.N. monitors who will be elbowing their way into polling places across 20 states, including Florida; 10,000 Democrat lawyers; 3,600 GOP observers in Ohio; and 1,090 Justice Department enforcement monitors." via Michelle Malkin

I mean would you want to be a poll worker? Part of your job is to ensure that no voter fraud occurs, yet every time you question someone who doesn't have the proper credentials a Michael Moore film crew will be sure and "edit" the film to make you look like you were "intimidating" some poor soul who only wanted to have his/her vote count.

This whole thing has become the theatre of the absurd. We will soon watch this circus begin. Michael Moore, bring in the clowns.
