A Racist Bar and the Freedom of Speech

Tue May 13, 2008 at 08:13:39 AM PDT

I haven't posted a diary on Kos in a while because everyone on here does such a fine job of reporting on the things they see and/or hear.  Today I have to step up because I am speechless and utterly appalled. Here is why...

Why picture Obama as Curious George? "Look at him . . . the hairline, the ears, he looks just like Curious George," Norman said.

Silly Season: Obama's Half Eaten Food on Ebay

Tue Apr 22, 2008 at 12:16:56 PM PDT

Earlier today I clicked on a link on ebay for Obama's Half Eaten Sausage and Waffle he dined on at the Glider Diner in Scranton,PA.

UPDATE: My apologies, the link doesn't work and the auction has been canceled. I happen to have the window still open and still have access to all the content, so for the super curious and proof this is real...here is the sellers store: dixpea amc nash rambler parts (hmm auto parts and Obama's Grand Slam Breakfast)

Something to be aware of : ArsTechnica article "PA primary will be unauditable"

I wish I didn't have to worry about such a thing but it is still possible for votes to be tampered with.  You would think after all these years and the mess in Florida voting in 2000 and the debacle in Ohio in 2004 that we would have come to the conclusion that we really need to take care of our voting systems.  

Today Jon Stokes of Ars Technica reports on the roundup that will be seen in the Pennsylvania voting system tomorrow and it looks pretty sketchy.

Do you believe our elections and primariers can be tampered with?
