Odd stories from Buzzflash. A series of amusing and infuriating articles.
1. Asking religious and personal questions to judge applicants in
Kansas:

2. Clare Short excoriates Tony Blair. Again. :)

3. A column about the endless dental exam of Saddam Hussein:

4. Wes Clark credits Clinton with Gaddafi's turn around:

5. Ex-felons seeking voting rights get trial
A federal appellate court grants more than 600,000 former felons in Florida a federal trial to challenge the state's ban on the restoration of their voting rights. (Think of it as 600K more votes
for our guy) :) (This could be big because it was based on a post-
civil war law and could re-infrancise a lot of people with no love
for Jeb and Co.)

A report outlining the HUGE problems ahead of the government turning
over control of Iraq to their council: Total mayhem is possible.

More article links here: www.buzzflash.com that tell about DeLay and
an editorial about how the repugs in college who think Bush is a good guy are going to face the draft shortly.

1. I liked the article
debunking the ny slimes front page article about their poll against gay people. I helps prove the use of polls to promote an extremist agenda. It was there yesterday, unfortunately I can't find the link right now.

2. I have not read them all but the first is pesty.
One thing the Not kill does not fit in with belief of putting some one to death. Does it? Besides how can they ask any of this? I read years ago that the Right wing Christians were going to take over all school boards and local things and put in what they thought should be done. I guess they have made it.
