The coming Fed crackdown.

Monday, October 30th, 2006

If you believe recent rumors on the Internets, blogs like this one won’t be able to engage in certain partisan behaviors anymore.

Behaviors like suggesting that anyone you know with questions about absentee voting visit the RNC’s information page or contact Gary McElyea at the MRP: (573) 291-5370 or gary {at} mogop {dot} org.

And linking to something like the Talent for Senate 72-Hour Volunteer Signup will probably be illegal too.

Hopefully Rs and Ds can work together between now and November 2008 to kill some of the more ridiculous anti-blogging provisions. Until then, I’m going to go buy some boots so I can shake in them.

“All the federales say, they could have had him any day/They only let him go so long/Out of kindness, I suppose.” — Missouri political activist Willie Nelson, Pancho & Lefty.

Jeff Suppan, others respond to Michael J. Fox

Here’s the ad:


While McCaskill’s use of Michael J. Fox seems purely emotional, it’s also logical: Democrats haven’t won a non-sympathy-based U.S. Senate election in Missouri since Tom Eagleton’s re-election in 1980.

More on ACORN/Prop B/McCaskill

Thursday, October 19th, 2006

More former ACORN workers are coming forward and talking about the fact that they still haven’t been paid for their labor. If you ask me, this is no way to treat the men and women who worked so hard to promote Proposition B and Claire McCaskill.


Once again, Antonio French at PubDef leads the way in reporting this issue. It’s high time that Missouri’s mainstream media sources give him the credit he deserves.

Absentee voting in Missouri

Monday, October 16th, 2006

Since neither the Missouri Democratic Party nor the Missouri Republican Party websites offer information on how their partisans can obtain an absentee ballot, I’ll give you the link here.

You’re welcome.

(Note to Republicans: A little birdie at a certain county election board told me last week that lots of Democratic voters are being dropped off and are already voting absentee in person. If that doesn’t motivate you to get to work, this video should do the trick.)
