TODAY’S CRASH

We can only pray it isn’t terrorism.

VINDICATION FOR BUSH II: Two addenda to my items written last night. Several readers have reminded me of the fact that the state was called for Gore before the Panhandle polls had closed. How many Bush-votes were lost? Well, even a couple hundred would have made a difference. Secondly, my friend Jim Glassman has an eye-opening piece in today’s Los Angeles Times. In a close study of the returns, he and John Lott find that “African American Republicans who voted in Florida were in excess of 50 times more likely than the average African American to have had a ballot declared invalid because it was spoiled.” The chances increased if the election supervisor was a Democrat and soared if the supervisor was a black Democrat. Hmmm. Having witnessed first-hand the intolerance of some gay leftists towards minority members who dare to leave the plantation, this doesn’t surprise me. But why hasn’t this been more widely reported? It strikes me as a bombshell.
