U.S. Rejects Tally, Warns Ukraine
By William Branigin, Washington Post Staff Writer

The United States yesterday rejected the announced results of Ukraine's disputed presidential election and warned the government of the former Soviet republic to uphold democracy or face consequences in its relationships with the United States and Europe Laughing

In a news briefing at the State Department, Secretary of State Colin L. Powell delivered a sharp rebuke to the Ukrainian authorities who yesterday declared Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych the winner of a runoff election Sunday that Ukrainian protesters and foreign observers said was marred by fraud.

"We cannot accept this result as legitimate because it does not meet international standards and because there has not been an investigation of the numerous and credible reports of fraud and abuse," Powell said. Confused

there was no fraud in Ohio.

That would be the difference. Someone should kill Jeff Rense.

U.S. 'disturbed' by Bloodbath in Ally Uzbekistan
By Dmitry Solovyov
Mon May 16, 4:29 PM ET

ANDIZHAN, Uzbekistan (Reuters) - Washington said on Monday it was "deeply disturbed" by reports Uzbek authorities fired on protesters last week, a massacre a rights activist said could herald a new wave of repression in the U.S. ally.

Security forces put down the rebellion in Andizhan on Friday, sparked by the trial of 23 Muslim businessmen and blamed by President Islam Karimov on Islamic extremists, in the bloodiest chapter in the country's post-Soviet history.

"We are deeply disturbed by the reports that the Uzbek authorities fired on demonstrators," State Department spokesman Richard Boucher told reporters. "We certainly condemn the indiscriminate use of force against unarmed civilians and deeply regret any loss of life." Shocked

Kind of reminds me of how 250,000 dead people voted for JFK.

No source for that claim, but I'll bet if you google Mayor Richard Daley, Lyndon B. Johnson, Chicago and the Election of 1960 you would come up with some juicy stuff.

Mayor Daley is on record as bragging that he delivered the White House to Kennedy. Its a matter of public record that the Nixon/Kennedy election was highly fraudlent (mostly on the Democratic side) we simply forget that in the light of Watergate. The fact is that Nixon actually would have won both the popular vote and the electoral college. Google away but I learned this not from the net but from my MA classes when I was studying International Relations.

WAR AND DISSENT IN NOT-SO-JOLLY OLD ENGLAND
By Richard Reeves
Fri Sep 30, 8:07 PM ET

LONDON -- The most famous man in England last week was an 82-year-old man who fled Nazi Germany as a teenager and has been a card-carrying member of Tony Blair's Labor Party for 57 years. Walter Wolfgang is his name.

Perhaps it is misleading to say he is a member of Blair's party. He is, rather, an old-fashioned lefty. He looks a lot like Studs Terkel. Thinks like Studs, too.

This is the story:
