#1 Go figure - the Democratic Party in Azerbaijan is demanding free and fair elections, and gets beat with truncheons....
meanwhile the Democratic Party in Texas flees to adjacent states to avoid voting and gets to dine in buffets, live in air- conditioned splendor and get feted by their party at home as martyrs.....kinda ironic, huh?

#3 You bring up a good point, Frank. If we're ever actually going to establish world hegemony, the RNC and the (eewww!) DNC should probably be establishing international committees and opening branches in places like this. It'd be more comforting to the rest of the world to have them arguing with each other over whether gay marriage should be mandatory than having them go to war with Armenia over Nagorno-Karabakh.

Though I hate to think of the effect of hanging chads on Afghanistan...

#4 " Todays top story is the debate in Afghanistan. Pro-taliban members argued that hanging chads ballots, most of which were made by crack-addicted radicalist, should be counted as legal votes. To furthur argue there point, machine gun fire and RPG's were fired inside the Kandahar Court House.

" In other news, the government has requested that family members come and claim the bodies from the rubble of the collapsed Kandahar Court House. The cause for the collapse is still unknown. "
