And now for something completely different ... News! Congressional Representative Corinne Brown (D-Florida), known for charged comments, today announced that the Republican party stole the presidential election in 2000, effectively staging a coup. Don't look for this in the news yet, though NBC's evening news did have a story on it. But on a straight party line vote her inflammatory remarks are being stricken from the Congressional Record. I suppose Rush Limbaugh will have something to say on this over the next few days (weeks, months, etc. ... He knows how to beat a dead horse, doesn't he?).
What is important, though -- and this just struck me the other day -- if the Democrats are really this upset and really of this mind, then why haven't they tried to do something about it? The Constitution can be amended, after all. Rid it of that pesky part about the electoral college!
Article II Section 1 Clause 2: "Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector." See Amendment XIIOn a comparatively minor point. It's easier to find porn on the Internet than a good copy of the Constitution. Wonder what that says? --- Peace & Prayers (we need it!)
