    What to do with those who passed new WI voting laws
    The appropriate punishment for Scott Walker and his partisans in the legislature, who imposed this filthy piece of KKKoch Brothers' smart-ALEC crap, is to strip every single one of them of the right to vote even for county dogcatcher for the rest of their lives. And branding them on the forehead with either an "F" (for fascist) or a swastika would help other members of the public keep well clear.

    Synagro in N Alabama
    How foolish is Texas to align with Synagro? Even Alabama ran them out on a rail after a nasty contamination in N Alabama a few years ago: http://bit.ly/y2NOYa

    The TTV/VTR searchable data base
    One way or another, I've managed to locate in the Walker petition pdf files about 20 petition pages where I was the circulator. So I decided to check 'my petitions' against the True The Vote/Verify The Recall searchable data base. Out of the 20 petition pages, I found two problems: - Walker petition page #15865 looks to be missing entirely from the data base (though the first name on the page does show up in the data base as part of another page; she seems to have signed twice) - On Walker page #13564, the first five names look AOK, but the second five don't show up. You can download the database from the TTV web site as a csv file; this group of second five signatures are 'blanks' in the csv file. I don't know for sure, but I'd guess they're not counted in the TTV/VTR total number of signatures. So, 2 pages out of 20 with problems, 15 (or 14) signatures missing from a total of 173 on the 20 pages. (One other thing to note: when they first announce what they had found in the Fitzgerald petitions, they announced only 14600 "non-blank" lines. Then they issued an 'update' changing the number to 19400. Fitzgerald in his challenge said there were 20650 'non-blank lines'. So far as I know, TTV/VTR have never explained the discrepancy. In the searchable data base posted today for the Fitzgerald Recall, they're back to 14212 entries. Seriously, WTF?)

    Federal Reserve
    The one thing this article has wrong is suggesting the people own AIG because AIG is owned by the Federal Reserve, which is a business, not a government institution.
