Vote Wisely and Have Faith in the Election System
I've had the opportunity to poll watch during Tennessee's Early Voting period, and have observed voters doing their civic duty.

Because of the typo, the ballot refers to the increase as ".80 cent/pack," or less than a [...]
Minutemen Figures Posted
The lamestream media told you: Fiscal year 2006, which ended Sep. 30, saw reductions in illegal border crossing arrests from Mexico, officials say, showing that their increased efforts are working. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff called it, "a significant turnaround in terms of the number of illegals that we are finding crossing the [...]
News “Stories” Unchanged
The lamestream media told you: Iran is still sponsoring terrorism, North Korea is still being bad, China is violating civil rights, and people are asking the United States to intervene in Darfur. The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that: I can't keep covering the same stories over and over like the lamestream media does. For the record -- Iran [...]
