1. Korwin's new superhero alter-ego, Counterintuitive Man, says:

The secret new multi-plan for elections is working swell! The public is getting disgusted with the process, lowering the number of votes! New voting equipment is so faulty and untraceable, more and more people don't trust it at all! Results now take weeks instead of one day, disgusting even die-hard voters! The ballots have gotten so long, people vote by closing their eyes, or voting all "No," or leaving a lot of the choices blank, watering down the result! More than a third of the public casts votes by mail, so they don't even know (or care) if their vote was delivered!

Early voting is getting popular, which means people can vote for someone who, on election day, is dead, indicted, under investigation, in prison, or off the ballot (like Mark Foley), wasting their vote with no recourse, helping to reduce the validity of voting! (nationally 14 percent in 2000, 22 percent in 2004; 100 percent in Oregon; -The Economist)

The candidates are all selected by the power elite, so no matter who wins, the only thing that changes is who gets fat! "Here comes the new boss, same as the old boss!"

Yes, in the effort to deconstruct America, entrench socialist values, eliminate the successful hegemony of the White Man, and move toward collectivism to crush freedom and drub the rights of pesky individuals - for the common good of course - the multi-plan for elections is working swell, no?

Counterintuitive Man says: It's not Left vs. Right, it's the State vs. You.

2. The lamestream media told you:

Nothing.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

Senate Democrats have already made their committee assignments and stacked the gun-policy Judiciary Committee with the bottom of the anti-gun barrel - Leahy, Kennedy, Schumer, Feinstein, Durbin, Biden, Feingold, Kohl, Cardin, and Whitehouse. Republicans still control the committee's business for the next week or two. Standard Democrat gun-policy positions (arsenal licenses, ending gun shows, gun bans, ammo bans, etc.) were reported in my eblast posted here.

3. The lamestream media told you:

Freshman congressmen, just elected, are eagerly traveling to Washington to attend orientation classes for the new officials.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

No news has leaked out about what they teach these people. Who is "they" who does the teaching anyhow?

Who sets the agenda? Is this underframe of government something we should be informed about? No matter who gets elected, some bureaucratic underpinning runs the show, based on what, exactly? Don't the reporters know, or care to ask? Can one of us mere citizens sit in and observe, or is it too secret to divulge?

Do the new legislators have to read the Constitution they've been elected to uphold? Are they tested to demonstrate an adequate understanding of it? Wouldn't you like to see their grades?

Are they reminded of their oath and consequences for violating it? Do they get a lecture about the limits of their specifically delegated powers?

Maybe they're just told how to use their franking (free postage) privilege, the hours for the free gym, the locations of the cloak rooms (a code name for their free bars), record-keeping for their travel and expense allowances, what to expect from lobbyists, and how to use the other services we taxpayers provide for them.

When they learn the rules that keep Congress running the way it always does, is any hope for fundamental change quashed? "That's not the way we do things here, sir," said the bureaucrat to his new temporary boss.

4. The lamestream media told you:

The genocide of unarmed victims in Darfur is unfathomably bad, but no one has acted to stop it, the U.N. has failed to issue any meaningful sanctions against the openly racist Islamist dictatorship in Khartoum perpetrating it, or to even call it a genocide.

More than two million people have been brutally murdered so far, many by "Janjaweed" Arab militias acting for the dictatorship, with its support. The dead are largely black Christian and Animist Africans in the southern part of the country, though black Muslims, considered inferior by the ruling clique, have fallen as well.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

The current Notre Dame Law Review (Vol. 81, No. 4) points out that national gun-control statutes for the Darfur victims effectively prevent self defense. A permit applicant must be over 30 years old, have specified social and economic status, and be physically examined by a doctor. A handgun owner can legally purchase only 15 rounds of ammunition a year, hardly enough to gain any level of proficiency. Violation of the gun control laws include severe penalties, ranging up to execution by the government.

In contrast, the dictatorship conducting the genocide supplies its Janjaweed proxy army of Arab militants with more guns than they can carry, including machine guns. It then supports attacks on defenseless villagers with aerial bombardment, to soften them up prior to ground assault.

Written by David B. Kopel, Paul Gallant and Joanne D. Eisen, the extensively researched article, "Is Resisting Genocide a Human Right?" breaks new ground on the rights of mass-slaughter victims to act against their government in their own defense. It was largely ignored by the lamestream media. The international community essentially tolerates or even facilitates genocide through squabbling, inaction and feckless sanctions that save no lives. Read the abstract here.

They conclude that although smuggling arms to a population facing genocide would undoubtedly violate gun-control laws of the genocidal state, acting to prevent such arms transfers would make a state or other entity complicit in the genocide, in direct violation of the official Genocide Convention of 1948, current U.N. protocols and binding international law.
