I have the DVD which was produced by Greenwald and like UNCOVERED (see http://pnews.org/vortal/ a great piece of work explaining in detail the voting fraud in 2000 and Palast speaks during several segments on that DVD. I recommend it and will put up a link in the next couple of days to the DVD (or go to Amazon Books for it). But I also have Greg's book and didn't like reading it as much as I do his columns. In the book he drifts, it seems to me, and tries to interject too much humor in a very serious problem which unfortunately still has not been completely addressed. First of all felons were not included in time for the mid-term elections because Jeb Bush would have lost if they had and I'm not sure they have yet even though it was an obvious scam and fraud which should have been fully litigated. NOT.. Someone's head should have rolled, and Katherine Harris should not be a national Republican hero, which she is. It stinks! Anyone who thinks we live in a democracy should see the DVD. In less than an hour they will be convinced that the system is flawed and can be fixed but there is not the will on the right nor the effort and power on the left to get it done. I just did an essay on the voting scandal, which was posted to PNEWS-L over the weekend. See it at: http://pnews.org/art/art.shtml which glosses over overvotes, undervotes, ex-felons not permitted to vote and citizens who are not felons being prevented from voting because they were falsely listed as felons -- but most of them Black. I believe something like 90,000 were kept from voting. It wasn't just by a few hundred votes that Gore would have won - even without Nader. It was tens of thousands. Like allowing late absentee counts, which they knew would go for Bush, etc... among all the other things. Flying Republican aides and some of their bosses down to Florida to block recounts. It is all a national disgrace.
