henry:
Racine results should then be open to the public If there is suspicion of fraud. can an individual petition the court or can a candidate demand a recount? Are Republican observers allowed. All these must be in place to discourage voter intimidation and fraud. We don't have a republican Black Panther Party to do our dirty work for us.Equal protection under the law should apply to republicans as well.
Also my sister asked me if same day registration voters cast a provisional ballot or a regular one.Signatures should be checked and in the case of a recall challenge will determine further fraud.

[henry]

Maryrose, we went through all that in the recall ... The registration ledger for same day votes was missing, ergo no charges filed. This in spite of pre filled / unissued ballots found in the dumpster.

[maryrose]

henry:
these actions violate all protocal for a fair and honest system. I have to take an oath in Ohio and any misdeed is punishable by law. I assume similar checks and balances are present in Wisconsin. Losing a registration ledger is a terrible malfeasance as it screws up the numbers . Voter reform is necessary. I think the good Supreme Court judges need to be informed of these criminal activities since they are responsible for the same day registration and voting fiasco.They approved it happening this November.

[maryrose]

MJW: keep posting. I find your comments interesting and informative.
I would still like Obama to personally address the Kenya meme and to accuse the person responsible for promulgating it. I don't want to hear from the person covering Obama's rear-end. I want to know how it came to be and when it was discovered why it wasn't changed. From his lips . Was it laziness or disinterest? I do not accept the answer he didn't know. That worn out excuse used by him Hillary and most recently Tim Geithner along with "I don't recall' doesn't cut the mustard with me.

[henry]

Ebola scare scrum a clinic in Braintree, MA. Not a hazmat suit in sight.

Maryrose, the trial judge accepted made up numbers (300,000 w/o ID) as fact and rejected all else. Thus the higher courts do not consider it. Meanwhile the "no convictions" carp continues. This in spite of Milwaukee police reports of massive irregularities there (no one charged), the report from Racine (bad clerk, have a promotion and no one charged). Until the GAB staff is kicked out of the state, nothing will be proven. They have gone beyond bias to full corruption (illegally participating in the John Doe, illegally rewriting the ballots to favor D candidates in Nov). When Union heads say they have a score to settle, we can expect worse this year. At least Assembly Leader Vos public ally stated that job #1 next year is eliminating the GAB and it's administrator Kevin Kennedy. He needs to permanently can the entire GAB staff.

simple maryrose, he wasn't going to go anywhere, as Barry Dunham, so he embellished his bio, to those who didn't care to check further,

[henry]

ManTran, fascinating neighbor you have there.

[(A)Nuther Bub]

What a stunning interview, ManTran. Thanks so much for the heads up.

Oh to have some adults of Herbert Meyer's intellectual stature working now on our behalf. Are there some?

Joy Reid at MSNBC:

"To the anti-government wingers in my thread: so far, the only 'spread of Ebola' in the U.S. was caused by a private hospital in a red state."

[Rob Crawford]

DoT -- and every step that hospital took was dictated by feral regulators. And the public health officials -- local and federal -- are all Democrat-run. Plus, Duncan wouldn't have been allowed here if it weren't for the left's open-borders/third-world fetish.

But, then, I guess MSNBC wasn't getting much traction with their attempt to blame the NRA for Ebola, so they have to do SOMETHING.

[Extraneus]

Activists say Kurds halt ISIS advance in Kobani as bombing in Iraq kills 58

Islamic State militants are claiming responsibility for a triple suicide bombing that killed at least 58 people in Iraq Sunday, as activists say Kurdish fighters have been able to halt the advance of the extremist group in the Syrian border town of Kobani.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights told the Associated Press the Islamic State militants, also known as ISIS or ISIL, have not been able to advance in Kobani since Friday but are sending in reinforcements. The Observatory's chief, Rami Abdurrahman, said the group appears to have a shortage of fighters and has brought in members of its religious police known as the Hisbah to take part in the battles.

Sources told Fox News that an intensified wave of airstrikes by a U.S.-led coalition in Kobani may be finally having an effect in the fight. The militants appeared to be slowing down in their intensity and the rate of attacks.

[Rob Crawford]

If anything, we're getting another lesson in the difference between conservatives and the fascists. They demand government be involved in everything, but don't demand it be competent at anything.

Conservatives don't want government to do much, but expect it to be competent at the duties its given.

[James D.]

Joy Reid at MSNBC:

"To the anti-government wingers in my thread: so far, the only 'spread of Ebola' in the U.S. was caused by a private hospital in a red state."

Maybe on President Walker's first day in office, he can order an anti-satellite weapon test and "accidentally" take out the satellite that handles uplinks for MSNBC.

It'd certainly be high on MY to-do list were I ever to find myself in charge.

[jimmyk]

every step that hospital took was dictated by feral regulators.

I know you meant "federal," but "feral" works too.

[James D.]

I think Tampa Bay coach Lovie Smith has a future in the Obama administration after he's canned at the end of this season. From ESPN:

Despite the loss, Smith continued to say the Bucs are improving. He said he couldn't explain what happened against Baltimore but that he saw evidence of improvement in recent practices and the past two games

[Rob Crawford]

I know you meant "federal," but "feral" works too.

It wasn't a typo. I consider "feral" and "federal" to be synonyms.

Cowboys doing everything in their power to hand the Seahawks the game after dominating in the 1st half.

[Marlene on Kindle visiting Mom in NH]

I'm watching local Boston news.If the hair on fire reporting is any indication,people are going to start freaking out about Ebola.They are showing the empty ambulance in the parking lot at Beth Israel Deaconess.We need credible information,not speculation and confusion.

[jimmyk]

Sources told Fox News that an intensified wave of airstrikes by a U.S.-led coalition in Kobani may be finally having an effect in the fight.

This story says it's really the Kurds, and women fighters in particular, "emboldened by the thought that the ISIS militants strongly believe they won’t go to paradise if they are killed by a woman."

Oh my goodness, Rob. That is excellent.

[RickB]

Reuters with another tidbit:

In Liberia, thousands of Liberian healthcare workers are set to begin an indefinite strike at midnight on Monday which could undermine the country's effort to stop the spread of the virus and leave several hundred patients without care.

It really does take the Plague Emperor of the Global Village Idiots to set greed afire in Liberia. Maybe SEIU should be sent to organize the workers.

Can't seem to post it but there is a photo of the President of the Navajo Nation sitting with Dan Snyder at the Cardinal's game wearing a Redskins cap:)

I'm watching local Boston news.

Me too Marlene, something I rarely do. Where is NCIS when I need it?

[Rob Crawford]

I can't claim that to be an original observation, Janet. ISTR hearing it first evoked over 9/11.

I'm in a happy place -- I just found some "Good Eats" episodes on Netflix.

[henry]

I'm 6 miles from the nearest liquor store. Is there any sign of seriousness at any level of government on this Ebola thing?

Lovie is the 404 of NFL head coaches; just a complete idiot.

With God as my witness I never thought I'd say these words but GO COWPLOPS!

I spent the afternoon on our annual trek to Jim Rhoads country for the annual beef roast. Saw some of the people I've gotten to know there and met a bunch from Erie who told me about a pork and sauerkraut fest on Nov 2. Plus buying apples @ $0.50/lb FTW.

How 'bout those Browns?!?

[Marlene on Kindle visiting Mom in NH]

The Braintree clinic had other patients in the waiting room,including a seven months pregnant woman.She told a reporter when it became apparent that a possible Ebola patient was in the clinic,things got a bit chaotic.Really inspires confidence,huh?

[RickB]

" Is there any sign of seriousness at any level of government on this Ebola thing?"

Sufficient luxury SUVs have been delivered to WHO/CDC/NGO bureaucrats in Monrovia to elicit a strong Freeshit Army response among Liberians. I believe we can anticipate mobs being twittered to violence within a surprisingly short time frame. Nothing can stop the spread of Ebola social justice.

[RickB]

Got it, DrJ.

[Extraneus]

Good Eats on Netflix? Might have to pause the Munsters episodes.

So, bleach kills Ebola? This would fix the Sam's Club problem. Do the West Africans all carry a spray bottle of it?

[Jane]

Man Tran,

That is absolutely mesmerizing.

[RickB]

Henry,

I'd tell you to head north but Canada just advised all Canadians in West Africa to head home while civilian flights are still available.

[Rob Crawford]

Ya know, if they made a show with Alton Brown and Mike Rowe, I think it would be just about the epitome of television.

Can't imagine what the show would be about, but it would be golden.

[henry]

Rick, got enough snow here -- and Canada is doomed by the combination of hipster flight and nationalized health care. I'll stay where the food is and people aren't.

a question that answers itself.

evening everyone.

[miss Marple]

Rob, I am thinking you are right.

Just finished watching Alto Brown's "Cuthroat Kitchen."

Seems like Brown's penchant for mechanics and bizarre challenges would work well with Rowe's interest in working with one's hands.

Maybe you should write the two of them and suggest it

[Marlene on Kindle visiting Mom in NH]

When an Ebola patient walking into a clinic becomes a daily event,how long before local law enforcement and emergency responders become overwhelmed? The news coverage I watched showed dozens of responders at the Braintree clinic.

[Captain Hate]

I used to like Dick Stockton as an announcer but he should've retired about 20 years ago.

[rich@gmu]

Posted by: Marlene on Kindle visiting Mom in NH | October 12, 2014 at 07:03 PM -

the better question will be how quickly they will a. strike or b. not show up?

already starting in West Africa, it seems only natural that it will start here soon.

[henry]

Marlene, how many bothered to put on their latex gloves? None appeared to have hazmat attire in the pics I saw.

[Beasts of England]

@Rob Crawford: Your comment that it's working exactly as he planned is something I consider to be twenty percent probable. As cynical as I am, I can't go much higher than that. And I still pray I'm wrong. It's grotesque either way. Unreal...

[narciso]

and by some, we mean most:

http://hotair.com/headlines/archives/2014/10/12/some-weapons-bound-for-syrian-rebels-end-up-with-isis/

the tales of some of those women fighters of Kobane, is inspiring, one would compare them with the Amazons, but they were more near the Black Sea.

reposting Rick's link from earlier.

http://raconteurreport.blogspot.com/2014/10/do-math.html?m=1

>>>Back to the greater question, how are healthcare workers going to do with this, if they're forced to try to cobble a response to it out of facilities not designed for it, with staffs untrained for it, and without adequate equipment? (If any of you are reading this from Liberia or Guinea, stop me if you've heard this one...).

They're going to fall flat on their ass, and it's going to kill people. Duh.<<<

[henry]

Rick, via Twitter- another reason to avoid Canada.

Plowboys look good. Dammit. Wasn't Lovie pushing loudly the racist angle for any 404 criticism a few years ago?

I don't like that feeling. I know in my head not to trust that feeling. I'm smarter than that.

Asia is mostly red at the moment.

[Marlene on Kindle visiting Mom in NH]

The only people I saw wearing hazmat gear were the EMTs.The firefighters and police didn't appear to be wearing protective gear.A car that might be Ebola guy's was towed from the Braintree clinic.Someone thoughtfully put biohazard stickers on the car's windows.

[Beasts of England]

Agreed, narciso. Gas in rural Alabama this weekend was $2.93. Lowest it's been in a long while.

[(A)Nuther Bub]

I can't think of another event that reveals so clearly how easily we'll all be led to the abattoir with little more than a couple of feeble bleats. We have a regional disease in a small area of the world. It could be (or could have been) contained by a strict quarantine but our politicians decided that public health could be sacrificed to political correctness. So here we sit, complaining to each other and to a handful of neighbors. I'm as guilty as anyone -- haven't even bothered to call my congressional rep or senators. Guess I feel it would not do a bit of good unless another few million citizens put in a similar demand. And we won't. We won't do a thing except sit here and see what happens as the airplanes continue to land, hoping there won't be an American epidemic that kills our kids and grandkids. What's wrong with us?

[Dave (in MA)]

I can't get into watching people cook on TV, but the Mrs. watches that Ramsey guy enough that the parrot picked up some of the salty language.

[Captain Hate]

Gas in Ashtabula county today 2.99.

Geno Smith and Kirk Cousins both threw late pick sixes to give their opponents the backdoor cover of the point spreads. Another reason I don't bet on sports.

>>>

Posted by: narciso | October 12, 2014 at 07:48 PM<<<

if economic activity is going into a freezer demand would be down and US supply is up (ND just crossed over 1 million bbl a day) ... suspicious that foreign crises aren't having an effect, but a terror attack on KSA ought to change that.

[Bori]

Narc:

Some of the drop in prices of gasoline is due to the change to winter blends in gasoline, depending on where you are this change can add a lot to the price of gasoline.

[Janet]

I hear ya, AB.
I don't call as much as I used to.
There is something odd about calling a Senator & begging them to enforce the already passed laws.

I don't know who to call when the feds. refuse to enforce our laws.
It seems like they are more interested in overturning the laws that "we the people" have passed.
I don't know what to do.

[lyle]

Gas is still ~$3.60 in ID. Dammit. Any guesses on the 10TSY yield by next Fri.? No? Okay, I'll go first: 2.20%

Posted by: (A)Nuther Bub | October 12, 2014 at 07:57 PM-

Rick and pager had a good link the other day that pointed a finger of blame at the western NGOs that descended on the region with bags of cash, Land Cruisers, and not a lot of sense.

Now that HCW are under high risk of infection and some NGOs were hacked to death they are abandoning the opportunity to do some good, after they made sure they did a lot of damage.

DOOM!!!

[anonamom]

Gas $3.09 right in the heart of the city. Haven't seen that in long time.

[Captain Hate]

Yes, Janet, we shouldn't have to tell our elected representatives to do their jobs as defined, as much as I sympathize with (A)B's underlying point on this.

[narciso]

I'm not complaining, but just a little curious,
it's also related to the strong dollar, which also makes one go hm, our governor and senator nelson, have pushed for more restrictions on flights out of West Africa,

[Beasts of England]

At the risk of gloating, I have complete confidence that my Senator has it properly dialed-in.

Thank you, Jeff Sessions!

[rich@gmu]

It wouldn't do a bit of good and misery loves company. Glad you are here.

Not sure what it would take or what the goal is with the political class. They have so fetishized open borders that they are willing to overturn generations of public health policy and common sense, and even in the face of a lethal threat, they repeat cant. So much for "data driven".

[henry]

Per our Chitown friend, the oil price drop is tied to leveraged asset dumping in a hot money search for liquidity. Fed/IMF chickens coming home to roost as discussed a couple days ago.

[RickB]

Announcing that survivor's blood is being used in treatment is another good example of the Global Village Idiots in action. The growing pool of survivors provide the best opportunity to hire and train care givers at the lowest risk (I still don't think supply can catch up to need). We'll be seeing the establishment of vampire clinics in West Africa which will pay more for a pint of the good stuff than isolation/hospice duty will pay for a month.

It ain't a tough choice for survivors.

[lyle]

Jeff Sessions and cheap gas?? Sombitch.

[Beasts of England]

Hitting it early in an attempt to recover from my self-approved four day weekend. Yikes! I ain't as young as I think I am. ;)

Nytol

[(A)Nuther Bub]

How sure are we that survivors' blood works, RickB? Hasn't it been used in only three (or possibly four) cases? I can see the logic in the theory, but seems to me that the numbers are too small to provide anything other than hope.
