Election updates.
LA Times: "Ruling early this morning, a divided federal court of appeals handed Republicans a potentially significant election day legal victory in this fiercely contested state, clearing the way for the party to challenge thousands of newly registered voters.
The decision by the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals could affect at least 23,000 newly registered Ohio residents whose qualifications Republicans have sought to challenge."
Evil has a middle name, it's Republican.
Yahoo: "A sheriff's deputy tackled, punched and arrested a US journalist for taking pictures of people waiting in line to cast early ballots in West Palm Beach, local media reported."
It's legal to harass and prevent people from voting, but it's illegal to take pictures.

ABC: "A Dutch filmmaker who had received death threats after releasing a movie criticizing the treatment of women under Islam was slain in Amsterdam on Tuesday.
A suspect, a 26-year-old man with dual Dutch-Moroccan nationality, was arrested after a shootout with officers that left him wounded, police said."
The Moroccan community has called for a general protest against this act of senseless violence.
Theo van Gogh was a true Amsterdammer, outspoken, honest; you could see him regularly cycling by in the centre of Amsterdam; when you saw him at a cinema he always had a word for you. It's a sad, very sad day.

Rise, and shine! It's time to kick those major-league assholes (to use Dubya's own words) out of the White House.
