Well, if I’d known that the Ramada in Newark was on the “no contract” list, I wouldn’t have stayed there, and I’ve have called them and told them why. Their people might not be doing a labor action, but they don’t look happy, and they do look tired. God, I’m sorry.

Brad 117, thank you! I really never could read more than a few sentences. I will now.

egregious (and the others) - You can now click the PRINT VERSION link at the bottom of each story to read it in good old Black on White!

Will have to do until I can find either a break in the action, or the money to have someone create an alternate color scheme for ya. Have wanted to do that for quite some time. At least I was able to get the PRINT VERSION added for the moment. Hope it helps!

From the Brad blog link:

The local media, in this case the North County Times looks to finally be getting the story right, and is attempting to hold San Diego County Registrar Mikel Haas accountable for his prevarications concerning the Diebold voting machine “sleepovers” that violated new state and federal laws and security requirements during the now-disputed June 6th U.S. House special election between Francine Busby and Brian Bilbray in California’s 50th congressional district.

San Diego County’s Democratic Party Chair, Jess Durfee is joining the growing calls for accountability in the matter, according to this morning’s Times by calling for hearings on the matter and new legislation to ban the procedure known as “Sleepovers” where poll workers are given programmed, election-ready, hackable voting machines to store in their homes, cars and garages for days and weeks prior to the election. It’s been shown that these machines, both Diebold’s optical-scan and touch-screen voting systems, are exceedingly vulnerable to tampering and can be hacked within a few minutes time with no password necessary.

WRT the tampering, remember, Homeland Security can come into your home, search it and never tell you they were there. Not that they would, of course *cough*

I think Pach would make a better Dem version of Luntz than Lakoff. He’s got more common-sense passion.

OFG #76 Illegal employers!
ding ding ding ding and Thank You

Both Rep and Dems refuse to pursue this angle. For all of the noise about fake ID’s is pure BS. I have placed thousands of employees and never been fooled. The INS form I-9 is a very reasonable step and effective (if enforced) tool already on the books today.
