The Ohio recount we’ve all been not paying attention to has ended. And the fix is in. Oh, excuse me, the results are in. By a slightly smaller margin, Bush has been declared the winner in the Ohio recount. But some observers, including the Democratic Party, question the integrity and accuracy of the recount.
A quick search of Google News will give you the latest stories, but here’s the rundown in brief:
Ohio completes recount and narrows Bush’s margin of victory. Ohio recount is a sham and Congress should reject Ohio’s electoral votes, according to David Cobb (Green). Cobb and Michael Badnarik (L) asked for a second recount, stating in federal court that the recount was not conducted properly. John Kerry (D) joined in as well, saying that the evidence should be preserved.

Karl Marx would love the popular moves among politicians in various state governments and the federal government to ban so-called "junk" food in schools, and to "put healthy food in" convenience stores and on the tables of those they define as poor. It's a very elitist and arrogant mindset that promotes this ideology, and it needs to be addressed.
Ultimately, the war supporters in Congress prevailed in the vote on the resolution. Still, the vote was significant because it places every member of Congress on the record as supporting or not supporting the unconstitutional, costly, violent occupation of a country that never attacked us. This vote should serve as an important reminder to the American people of where their representatives really stand when it comes to policing the world, empire building, and war.

I’m thinking the main value of the recount will be in watching who fights it, and how. There doesn’t seem to be much chance of “getting Kerry in” (and I can’t say I’m disapointed); but there does seem to be a pretty good chance of smoking out the creeps (or should I say “CREEPs”) that think they can play fast and loose with American democracy, and nailing their hides to the door. As with many crimes, I suspect the culprets will be caught by their attempts to cover their tracks.

Too bad Howard Dean had to scream. He was the shit and could have won. Also, I think Diebold has some serious issues in their voting machines. I don’t want to bitch about how Bush won, but I think the voiting system shouldn’t be flawed. If the voting machines are slanted, what kind of democracy is that?
