Low Blow from a Low Court
The absolute gall of it: Today, a Florida state court judge ruled that the state must release its list of nearly 50,000 alleged felons who will be barred from voting in November's election.

As you'll recall, the state of Florida purged about as many "felons" from the voting rolls in 2000. Of course, many of these voters weren't exactly felons, in the sense that they had never committed a felony, but most of them were almost certainly not Billionaires. And isn't that a crime in itself?

How does this arrogant judge (who probably draws an embarrassingly low salary) expect us to keep the election in the hands of the wealthy and powerful, where it belongs? Last time around, Bush's cousin called the election, his campaign manager certified the ballots, his brother ran the state, and his friends on the Supreme Court nixed the recount, and he still only beat Gore by 537 votes. If they take away our right to trim the voter rolls, where will we be?

Fortunately, if this ruling ever makes it to Scalia, we'll be fine...
