I wonder how many times Paul Newman and James Taylor voted in the last election. This sounds like they are closing the barn door after the horse has left the building. feeblemind is right on target; PR nonsense, some useful idiot gets thrown under the bus. I await the trial and sentencing of these desperadoes, but am willing to wager that it will be plead-down and probation will ensue.

It is also interesting to note that the ACORN representative was more concerned about “This was really some individuals who were trying to defraud their employer” than the potential impact on the validity of the electoral process (BTW that is an oddly Capitalist point of view for a lefty organization to be taking, isn’t it?).

Regarding the Brits, I have really lost hope that they can be redeemed, short of a nasty civil war. The country is either under the spell of their PC nitwit pols or they truly subscribe to the idea that eleven people can screen 66,000 applicants. Either way, it looks pretty darned hopeless.

I fear that sixty years of Socialism has crushed the once mighty heart of the British Lion.
