Fair election... or not so fair?

Journalist Greg Palast says that once again, Democratic minority votes were disproportionately thrown out because of spoilage. Congratulations, Mr. Kerry. Or not.

By contrast (?), observers from the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe, or OSCE, said that US elections "mostly met" standards for freedom and fairness.

Mostly. Well, isn't that nice.



In other news... remind me why I bank with Wells Fargo, again?

...Oh, that's right. None of the other major banks are any better.

The picture meme

1. Stop talking about politics for a moment or two.
2. Post a reasonably-sized picture in your LJ, NOT under a cut tag, of something pleasant, such as an adorable kitten, or a fluffy white cloud, or a bottle of booze. Something that has NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS.
3. Include these instructions, and share the love.
