Yes, this guy is a Bush appointee. He's from here in Lawrence, Kansas. This is all so confusing. Wonder if it was embarrassing porn or something like that that he had had illegally scrubbed from his computer. I'm convinced that's how the Bush admin keeps people from speaking out: they have embarrassing info on people (or in this case, are maybe seeking it) that they obtained by warrantless surveilance and which they use to blackmail people into being quiet/complicit in their crimes. I always wonder why Mukasey turned from being what people like Schumer thought was a reasonable guy, to someone so corrupt and helping cover up admin crimes. Do they have some kind of horrible dirt on Mukasey or something?

Caucuses vs. Primaries

This is bugging the crap out of me: how come whenever the voting is done out in the open, Barack wins (usually by big margins), but when voting is done in secret on hackable voting machines, Clinton usually wins? Call me crazy, but after years of watching how devious Karl and Co. are, and after two presidential elections where elections were suspect, I swear I'm convinced SOMEONE is rigging the democratic race to make sure it drags and drags and drags and drains and bloodies the candidates, when it seems to me that Barack has the big mo. And I don't think the caucus vs. primary issue can be explained by the Bradley Effect (where people will say in public that they're willing to vote for an African American person to try to appear "politically correct", but then when voting in secret, they won't vote for an African American). I'm still convinced there was something fishy that happened in N.H., and I think it was done to stop Obama's huge momentum. Am I the only person that is worried that elections can be rigged as long as we are voting on secretly programmed voting machines?
