60,000 Absentee Ballots Missing in Florida.

  Postal Experts Hunt for Missing Ballots in Florida
  By Michael Christie,  Reuters
  Wednesday 27 October 2004
  MIAMI - U.S. Postal Service investigators on Wednesday were trying to find thousands of absentee ballots that should have been delivered to voters in one of Florida's most populous counties, officials said.
  The issue evoked memories of the polling problems that bedeviled the Florida election in 2000 and which the state has been trying to address before next Tuesday's presidential election, which is again expected to be a very tight race.
  Broward deputy supervisor of elections Gisela Salas said 60,000 absentee ballots, accounting for just over 5 percent of the electorate in the county north of Miami, were sent out between Oct. 7 and Oct. 8 to voters who would not be in town on election day.
  While some had begun to be delivered, her office had been inundated with calls from anxious voters who still had not received their ballots.
  "It's really inexplicable at this point in time and the matter is under investigation by law enforcement," Salas told Reuters.
  "It was basically our first major drop of the absentee ballots," Salas said. She said postal service officials had assured Broward elections supervisor Brenda Snipes that the ballots had moved out of the post office to which they had been taken by the elections office.
  U.S. Postal Service Inspector Del Alvarez, whose federal agency is independent from the U.S. Postal Service, said it had yet to be determined if the ballots reached the post office.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

It is certainly good news that at least the beginning of breaking up [Pakistani nuclear scientist A.Q. Khan's nuclear smuggling] network has occurred. Unfortunately, a substantial number of players in that network are still walking around free people. -- --Nuclear expert Matthew Bunn of Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government.

U.S. Military Unit Did Not Have Orders to Search Iraqi Site for Now-Missing Explosives, Officer Says
    During the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, the U.S 101st Airborne Division’s 2nd Brigade conducted only a limited search of the al-Qaqaa facility that housed hundreds of tons of explosives that have since been reported missing, the unit’s spokesman said yesterday. Some of the explosives were a type that could be used to detonate nuclear weapons (see GSN, Oct. 26).
    The unit, one of the first to reach the facility, encountered looters at the site when it arrived shortly after coalition forces captured Baghdad on April 9, 2003, Lt. Col. Fred Wellman told the Associated Press.
    Soldiers “secured the area they were in and looked in a limited amount of bunkers to ensure chemical weapons were not present in their area,” Wellman wrote in an e-mail message. “Bombs were found but not chemical weapons in that immediate area.”
    “Orders were not given from higher to search or to secure the facility or to search for HE type munitions, as they (high-explosive weapons) were everywhere in Iraq,” he wrote (Kimberly Hefling, Associated Press/Yahoo!News, Oct. 27).

Bush flipping the bird! I'd like to see christian conservatives explain this!

Michael Moore has made several Public Statements that web sites should pirate his movie. He cares more about getting rid of Bush than making money. He says he has already made plenty of money on it and he wants people like me to spread it around.
 

I have been to the site, and I hope to god it is legit!
