    The hypocrisy in this country has finally reached astounding levels. Vote fraud in the Ukraine is the top news of the day. It turns out that the exit polls in the country which showed the challenger Mr Yushchenko leading 54 to 43 percent were completely overturned by the actual results of the election which gave the current prime minister, Mr Yanukovich, the win with 49.42 percent to 46.69 percent. This, of course, has raised the suspicion of vote fraud to everyone including the (…)

    "Dear Uncle Scrooge: I am a low-income working woman about to retire on Social Security benefits. What should I do?"
    Under Bush’s proposed new Social Security plan, you can forget about retiring, dear. Just plan to work ’til you’re 80 and die really really poor.
    "Dear Uncle Scrooge: I’m a middle-aged man with lots of bucks. What should I do after George Bush bankrupts the country?"
    Too late for that. With a 51-trillion-dollar debt and a horrific balance of payments (…)

    by Dan Verton
    Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, said today that they have uncovered statistical irregularities associated with electronic voting machines in three Florida counties that may have given President George W.
