Obama's Database Dissembling  [Kevin D. Williamson]

Excellent report in Slate today:

    Barack Obama refuses to release the names of the 2 million-plus people who have given his campaign less than $200. According to campaign officials, it would be too difficult and time-consuming to extract this information from its database.

    So how come we were able to do it in a couple hours? Not literally—we don't have access to the campaign's list of donors—but we created a database of similar size and format in a Web-ready file and posted it online. (You can view a sample text version of it here. The full version is 824 MB.)

No doubt Obama doesn't want to spend the last days talking about such donors as A. Hitler, K. Marx, and Saddam Hussein.

But we have the best word of all the right people that there's nothing rotten here. Move along. These aren't the straw-donors you're looking for.

Gloves Come off in Idaho (It's About Time!)
Larrey Anderson
Two days ago American Thinker reported that Idaho Democrats had illegally distributed the Social Security numbers of conservative Republican Congressman Bill Sali, and his wife Terry, in campaign literature supporting Sali's Democrat opponent.

The Republican Party (at least in Idaho) has decided to put away the book of etiquette and, finally, bring a gun to this gunfight.

The Republican Party in Idaho has issued this press release:

     BOISE, ID - Earlier today, the Idaho Republican Party asked U.S. Attorney Tom Moss to investigate whether any state or federal laws were broken when the Idaho Democrat Party distributed a campaign mail piece displaying the Social Security numbers of Congressman Bill Sali and his wife.

     "A rough-and-tumble campaign is one thing," said Chairman Norm Semanko.  "But sending out Bill's personal info, and thereby opening him up to identity theft, is way out of bounds.  Despite Hansen's claims, the ends do not justify the means.  Walter Minnick's refusal to condemn the mailing suggests he approves of such methods.  Minnick's silence speaks volumes."

    Semanko continued, "The cavalier attitude of the Minnick campaign and the Democrat Party, and their failure to accept responsibility for their own actions in this whole affair, is appalling.  While Minnick and Hansen may not grasp the seriousness of identity theft, countless Idahoans do.

    "It took days before Hansen even acknowledged he had done something wrong, and even then, all he offered was finger-pointing and a grudging half-apology.  All the while, Minnick looks the other way.  Where's the accountability?"


Idaho's Republicans seem to be getting a clue. Let's hope the rest of the Republican Party follows little old Idaho's lead.

STEALING AN ELECTION
OBAMA'S LAW-BREAKING ALLIES

By GLENN HARLAN REYNOLDS

November 3, 2008

WHETHER or not Barack Obama wins election tomorrow, his campaign has exposed some gaping weaknesses in the electoral process - and some even more serious problems with today's mass media. The question is whether the political establishment will be willing to do anything about them.

On the electoral side, we've seen allegations of massive voter fraud, often backed up by actual arrests and investigations. The FBI has opened an investigation into the Obama-friendly group ACORN, which has been associated with fraudulent registrations and other misconduct in many jurisdictions.

In Indiana, CNN noted, of 5,000 registrations turned in, the first 2,000 turned out to be fraudulent. In Kansas City, officials found hundreds of bogus registrations. CNN also reported on the case of Clifton Mitchell, an ex-ACORN worker who served time in prison for voter fraud.

In Pennsylvania, ACORN worker Jemar Barksdale was arrested for voter fraud involving fake registrations. Meanwhile, the state of Ohio turned up 200,000 questionable voter registrations, but Ohio officials went to court to avoid having to respond. In Michigan, an ACORN worker has been charged with forgery. ACORN activists even tried to register Mickey Mouse to vote in Florida.

Indianapolis, meanwhile - along with some counties in Alabama and Mississippi - turned out to have more registrants than actual live voters. And in Connecticut, a group of journalism students discovered 8,500 dead people still on the rolls, people whose identities could be used to cast fraudulent ballots.

As The Post reported, ACORN also managed to register a 7-year-old girl to vote in Bridgeport, while in Nevada ACORN filed registrations in the names of Dallas Cowboys and had its offices raided by Nevada authorities. In Florida, more than 30,000 ineligible felons were registered to vote.

But it's not just voters who are questionable. While the vote-fraud stories were running, the Obama campaign - after Obama broke a promise to stick with public financing - was setting fund-raising records and bragging about its grass-roots donations. It turned out to have a system for credit-card processing that could hardly have been better suited to enabling financial fraud.

Unlike other campaigns, Oba ma's staff disabled the "Ad dress Verification System" that checks credit-card numbers against addresses to ensure their validity. The result was that people could make multiple donations under different names using the same card, in violation of reporting requirements and donation limits.

And there was nothing to stop foreign nationals from donating directly to the Obama campaign. As Scott Johnson noted in this newspaper, "No presidential campaign has ever before received such a gargantuan sum of money from unidentified contributors."

An investigation by National Journal reporter Neil Munro found that the McCain campaign Web site didn't allow anonymous donations, while the Obama Web site did.

Prof Brags About Stealing McCain Signs
Posted by: Amanda Carpenter at 11:45 AM

A St. Olaf visiting professor bragged about stealing John McCain signs from his GOP neighbors and described it as a thrilling act of political defiance for a highly-trafficked liberal blog.

“Yanking out the signs and running like a scared rabbit back to my idling car was one of the single-most exhilarating and empowering political acts that I have ever done,” wrote Phil Busse in an essay titled “Confessions of a Lawn Sign Stealer” for the Huffington Post.

Busse is teaching a class on media studies this semester at St. Olaf and is currently director for the Northwest Institute for Social Change. He unsuccessfully ran for the mayor in Portland, Oregon in 2004.

Busse said he realized he committed a crime and expected to be charged with misdemeanor theft of trespassing in the piece.

The university has values and a mission.  I think that thrill up Shadow's leg just went out of his....

Sign-stealing prof resigns

He got into trouble when he wrote about stealing McCain/Palin campaign signs from yards in Northfield.

A visiting St. Olaf instructor who wrote an online essay about stealing John McCain lawn signs -- "like a ninja under the cover of cloudy Minnesota night" -- has resigned, the Northfield college announced.

Philip Busse, a journalist and political activist from Portland, Ore. who taught a media studies course, also will be charged with misdemeanor theft. He could face up to 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine, according to the Rice County Sheriff's Office.

After learning of Busse's essay, "Confessions of a Lawn Sign Stealer," St. Olaf denounced his actions, saying they "were in direct conflict with the college's values and mission."

125 Shot Dead In Chicago Over Summer
Total Is About Double The U.S. Troop Death Toll In Iraq
CHICAGO (CBS) ― An estimated 125 people were shot and killed over the summer. That's nearly double the number of U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq over the same time period.

In May, cbs2chicago.com began tracking city shootings and posting them on Google maps. Information compiled from our reporters, wire service reports and the Chicago Police Major Incidents log indicated that 125 people were shot and killed throughout the city between the start of Memorial Day weekend on May 26, and the end of Labor Day on Sept. 1.

According to the Defense Department, 65 U.S. soldiers were killed in combat in Iraq. About the same number were killed in Afghanistan over that same period.

 In the same time period, an estimated 247 people were shot and wounded in the city.

http://cbs2chicago.com/local/chicago.summer.shootings.2.810166.html

[City]

Can we get a ranking of most dangerous cities? Heck, let's count Iraq as a city.

City	Total Deaths	Deaths per 100,000 people
Detroit	418	47.3
Baltimore	276	43.3
New Orleans	162	37.6
Newark	105	37.4
St. Louis	129	37.2
Oakland	145	36.4
Washington, DC	169	29.1
Cincinnati	89	28.8
Philadelphia	406	27.7
Buffalo	74	26.4
US Military Deaths	285	19.8

(Deaths = death by murder/killing)


Well lookey there. Iraq doesn't even make the top 10. I wonder how far down the list it would be? 25? 30?

So it's actually safer to be a soldier in the US Military than a citizen in Buffalo. Ponder that!

City statistics are from 2006, the latest I could easily find.
Iraq statistics are current.

E-mails get leader of state office suspended
Saturday,  November 8, 2008 3:25 AM
By Randy Ludlow
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

Gov. Ted Strickland placed the director of the state Department of Job and Family Services on paid leave yesterday for possibly using a state computer and e-mail account for political fundraising.

E-mails obtained by The Dispatch show that Helen Jones-Kelley's account was used to assist the presidential campaign of Democrat Barack Obama in raising money.

Strickland asked Inspector General Thomas P. Charles to investigate the "unconfirmed" matter, and the governor named Jan Allen, secretary of his cabinet, as acting director of the department.

The state e-mails show that Jones-Kelley provided the Obama campaign with the names of 17 potential Dayton-area contributors ahead of the candidate's July 11 appearance there.

On July 8, the director offered to write a $2,500 check to the campaign to join Obama at his appearance, volunteered to contact would-be contributors and offered to help arrange an event for Obama's wife, Michelle.

At least one of the potential donors identified by Jones-Kelley contributed $9,600 to the Obama Victory Fund and Obama for America on July 31, according to Federal Election Commission records. Jones-Kelley also gave $2,500.

The e-mails that led to Jones-Kelley's suspension came to light through a public-records request by The Dispatch, said Keith Dailey, spokesman for Strickland. The newspaper requested the records Oct. 26, before Obama won Tuesday's election.

Dodd's Deals: Nothing Unusual About Fed Probe?
Senator Still Stonewalling On Curious Loans

Kevin Rennie | NOW YOU KNOW
    November 9, 2008

A Democratic president who feels "a righteous wind" at his back has at least six more Democratic senators and realized a net gain of 22 seats in the House of Representatives ought to make this the age of influence for 28-year Senate veteran Christopher Dodd. But the fates divide our fortune, and not always equally.

As the Democrats moved toward victory at the end of October, a story by NBC's Lisa Myers set Dodd apart from his triumphant fellow Democrats. Myers reported that federal agents are investigating the notorious "Friends of Angelo" list maintained by subprime mortgage giant Countrywide Financial's co-founder Angelo Mozilo. Dodd was the most prominent member of that exclusive club.

Since the Dodd story broke in June, the five-term senator has offered contradictory fragments of explanations and intentions. Scheherazade after a six-pack of Red Bull would not have told more desperate tales. Dodd gallops the gamut from calling the allegations of special treatment "outrageous" to pledging repeatedly and specifically to release documents related to the $800,000 in sweetheart deals he got from Countrywide.

Still claiming "there's nothing there," Dodd refuses to say whether his Senate campaign committee's payments of $60,000 last summer to a Washington law firm, which has a history of representing Democratic senators in trouble, were for his defense in the Senate ethics investigation of his dealings with Countrywide. He suggested, before he fled to his third home in Ireland in August, that Countrywide was not cooperating in providing information.

Black neighborhoods look to Obama for jobs, safety
Tamara Lush / Associated Press

MIAMI -- In a desolate, weed-filled lot in a neighborhood nestled just beyond Miami's glass-and-steel skyscrapers, business was brisk at Earl Quinn's makeshift T-shirt shop. As soon as he could print them, T-shirts with President-elect Barack Obama's name in glitter and his face in silver studs were sold.

Suddenly, this predominantly black community that had suffered for years with poverty, unemployment and racial tension had come to life the day after Obama's historic victory. Customers arrived in pajamas, some still tired after a night of celebrating, just to grab a souvenir.

"You got the one that says, 'It's not a black thing, it's not a white thing, but it's a right thing?'" one customer asked.

Quinn shook his head. Sold out.

"You got the shirt that says 'Mission Possible?' The other day, you were wearing that shirt, 'Mission Possible.'"

Quinn grinned.

"It's not 'Mission Possible,'" he said. "It's now 'Mission Accomplished.'"

NO way.

What do you even say about this? I'm moving to New Zealand.

This should be the first test of the filibuster!

I would make every Judicial nomination as painful as possible.
