Oh, by the way, I saw it reported the other day that even if Willard had carried Ohio and its 'special' vote tabulating machines plus Florida plus Virginia, Willard would have still lost the election.  Willard is one big, sore loser for the ages!

      <![CDATA[eLwood - Everyone expected Obama to win in the Philadelphia, but Romney getting zero votes in 59 precincts looks suspicious.  <br>
<br>
The combined results from those precincts were -<br>

Obama - 19,605 votes<br>
Romney - 0 votes<br>

Perhaps 'Anonymous' can claim credit for that.<br>

<br>
Explaining how one found barndoors and tunnels in a 3-state operation would give away what system/technique you used to navigate the thing. That would really be rightwing smart, wouldn't it. Dogshit dumb.

      <![CDATA[The sad part about Walmart is how far they've strayed from treatment of assosciates in the beginning and now.  Shame on the lot.  Their charitable donations tend to favor their own.  Meanwhile as stated above, the government financial aid required to support Walmart's under paid employees is a tax on everyone.  And we can lay part of the blame on the fact that the minimum wage was never indexed.

      <![CDATA[Sounds like nonsense to me. <br>
<br>
First, the whole thing is grandiose and overwrought, written like some seventh-grader's account of his favorite D&D campaign. Second, throughout it conflates ORCA, the Romney campaign's turnout monitoring/GOTV tool with Rove's alleged vote-rigging system without ever explaining how they are supposedly related. Third, there's absolutely no technical detail at all while there is a wealth of gibberish which appears to be trying to masquerade as such.

      <![CDATA[Ever wonder why Karl Rove may have started making a fuss about the Ohio vote Nov 6 when it became somewhat apparent, even to Fox News groupies, that Ohio was going to Obama? Rove said there were several populous rural counties where the votes hadn't been tabulated. He said that he had "followed" those counties before, like in 2004, and it could be surprising...<br>
<br>
Perhaps Herr Rove had another 2004 trick up his devious sleeve and had put in the fix on Ohio's vote counting machines...then comes a masked Anonymous to the rescue:<br>
<br>
"ANONYMOUS CLAIMS IT STOPPED KARL ROVE FROM HACKING THE ELECTION BY HACKING ORCA, WE THINK" <br>
<br>
"Oh cool, Anonymous (we think it is Anonymous?) says Karl Rove was gonna vote fraud all the Machines, and that’s why he was so flabbergasted and refused to believe it when Fox called Ohio for Bamz, but they stopped him from stealing all the Machines by jamming up ORCA, because it was not actually a GOTV system but a “steal the vote” system, but they stopped him, we are pretty sure that is what the following letter, which we guess is from Anonymous probably, says. <br>

      <![CDATA[After Occupy Wall Street wound down and the LR site disbanded, there has been little news here about the Occupy movement.<br>
<br>
Occupy Sandy, though, has jumped into the post-hurricane relief efforts, arriving before the Red Cross and FEMA in some east coast communities.<br>
<a href="http://www.ibtimes.com/occupy-sandy-occupy-wall-street-finds-new-purpose-nyc-hurricane-old-tensions-remain-887124" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.ibtimes.com/occupy-sandy-occupy&hellip;</a><br>
<a href="http://bit.ly/104ObHN" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/104ObHN</a><br>
<br>
Another project of Occupy, Rolling Jubilee, is confronting the nation's multi-trillion dollar debt burden. They buy distressed debt for less than the debt's face value – think unpaid loans of people who are late on their medical bills – and then forgive it. They're focusing on medical debt right now, but the goal is to get Americans thinking about the debt that originated from predatory lending practices.<br>
<br>
Debt broker companies use the same process to make money. They buy up debt for pennies on the dollar and are able collect enough to make a handsome profit. But Rolling Jubilee forgoes the profit and just dismisses the debt.<br>

<br>
If Wall Street firms were too big to be allowed to fail, why are the American people with mortgage and other debt expendable?

But, after the narrow loss for the medical marijuana issue here in Arkansas, there may be patients interested in taking a trip, for their health, to Washington state, where mj was just legalized.<br>

The Seattle Police Dept. just released a handy guide explaining the new law.<br>
