The Canadians have re-elected their minority Conservative Government with more seats but still not a majority.
If the election does not go the way the polls suggest, this guy may prove to be on to something after all. I am not convinced, though that Oz pollster Malcolm Mackerras is predicting an Obama win makes me wonder, given his track record.
Some Alabama counties now have more registered voters than actual residents. Strangely, folk think some voter registration fraud may be involved …
About ACORN: Though Acorn touts living-wage laws as a way to lift the working poor into the middle class, the vast body of academic work on wage laws shows that they end up hurting the poor by forcing businesses to eliminate some low-wage jobs. Acorn's own leadership understands this principle perfectly. When California regulators sued Acorn for not paying its own workers the minimum wage, Acorn argued that this would endanger its mission-because it would have to hire fewer workers. ACORN is under FBI investigation for voter fraud. And, according to a re-released and updated book, a bit of a history of same. Lots of links on the same. Including some over-enthusiasm in getting out the youth vote. The NEA can manage lots of over-enthusiasm.

Inquiry finds that Gov. Palin did abuse her power to get her former brother-in-law fired as a state trooper. Via tcpip.
