Grr-reat grr-raphic, Wraith!
First item of business when the Democrats take over Congress: A resolution asking President Bush if it's okay to kick his fascist ass.*
*(He'll probably say, "No," and that will be the end of the matter as far as some of those spineless donkeys are concerned.)

I second that Great Graphic, and will look forward to making this coming year the year of the duck,'LAME' that is.
Good evening, Floyd.
Yes, I do have hope for this coming election, but as OddJob noted well, we have little reason to believe, based upon past experience and knowledge of the manufacturers of the voting machines, that the outcomes of the elections will reflect the will of the electorate.
SB Gypsy asked me what is to be done. At that moment, I was not particularly well prepared to set forth an answer. I'm still not sure I like the answer I have, but it's just about time for me to bring the matter up in a far more formal and challenging way. Hence, within the next week, I shall be publishing a post of rather modest length in which I shall elucidate the options before us.
Should the Republicans hold on to power in both the Senate and the House of Representatives—this, against all evidence of a sea change in voter thinking that has finally come about—the options are few.
Worse, the options are all bad.
But whatever choice we make, my graphic still stands: the party is over for the neo-cons. It might be in the months after November 7, 2006, or it might be in the years afterward; but the party will be over.
It is one thing to be civilized; it is quite another to be enslaved by civility.
The Dark Wraith should probably lay off the rhetoric until he's had time to get his own spine in order.
And by the way, for those who are regulars here at The Dark Wraith Forums, the commenter above, Floyd, hosts the blog "Within Reason," which recently entered syndication in the blogScream News Wire service.
Floyd's blog is really solid: good content, handsome layout; so if you have a chance, go have a look and a read.
The Dark Wraith is always on the lookout for good blogs.
Mr. Wraith, you've become quite graphic in your distaste for the current administration - good for you.
There is only one thing that can be done (on our level) volunteer with the board of elections in your district. Get boots on the ground, make sure it's free and fair with your own eyes.
DW,
What's that thing about chickens and eggs?
While I'm hopeful of a positive outcome for the Democrats, I think recent history may be on the side of the Republicans; or rather the re-written history of Diebold.
The Republicans can lose quite a few seats and still retain power. I feel that may be the case in the closely contested races. I think the fix is in to just get enough Diebolds to keep power. And if Lieberman gets the hacked vote, we can count on him switching to the Dark Side.
Will the exit polls be wrong again?
I believe I read this morning over at TPMCafe that Rove & Shrub are inexplicably upbeat about the election. Rove anticipates maintaining majority status in both houses, losing no more than 8-10 seats in the House.
I can't help smelling a rat.

there's still a couple weeks of october left...i mailed my absentee ballot today...i refused to vote for any incumbents at the federal level. we shall see what the "surprise" is. i'm currently reading "state of denial" and the level of self delusion they are capable of is something that you would have to go to a hippie commune in alaska to find. (read t.c. boyle's "drop city") but they may still be up to something nefarious. my plowshare is back to a sword, my pruning hook is back to a spear, the dogs are big and bold. anyone cries "havoc" i am so fucking there.
Good Evening DW !!!!
Great graphic !!
Well with the Eisenhower, USS Anzio other ships on their merry way to the Straits of Hormuz that graphic may portend more than we all wish.
Maybe Rove has bought Georgie boy a fiddle to play while they burn the world.
Good Afternoon Dark Wraith,
And what fantastic new artwork!
I must say, it looks very good over the last post on The Gypsy's Caravan, pics of the swordsmith's art: Falling Hammer Productions, from my day at the Renaissance Faire.

Hey Father Tyme -
Apparently noone believes me, but rest assured that CT will be one of the last elections to be hacked. We have had the old safe mechanical machines since the late sixties, (the ones I learned to vote on). We are getting a few electronic machines this election, and they are not Diebold, and they do have reciepts.
However, if you want to vote on the mechanical machines, you can just wait for one to be free. Most of our elections are being run by those of the WWII generation, and those old biddies won't stand for any BS around the election.
I too wait for Rove's October surprise, but am cheered by each and every new republican scandal that is uncovered. They've taken to leaving off teh (R) when they write an article about Gross Old Pervert's malfeasance, but the locals know who they're voting against!
