plasticbag : Keith Olbermann on Habeas Corpus, GW Bush and the war on terror - The bit that should hit home and hit home hard is the bit about the next President of the United States, who could be the most unscrupulous man who has ever lived and now has more power to abuse American citizens than any terrorist could ever hope for...
philgyford : YouTube - Olbermann: the beginning of the end of America - Awesome rant about Bush's irresonsibility. Fantastic and relentless. I love how Americans still refer to the subject of their ire as "sir". (via Haddock)

plasticbag : Two sets of maps compare American states that were pro slavery with states that now vote Bush - Obviously this is highly tendentious and aggressive and no one is suggesting that the red states are racist - but it is interesting that the two maps demonstrate a country divided against itself and that the fault-lines are pretty much identical.

plasticbag : George W Bush's re-election website has been made inaccessible to anyone outside the US - "Since Monday morning (25 October) GeorgeWBush.com began rejecting web requests from outside the United States."
