| '''Portland Cops: Ours Vs. Theirs'''<br />
| |
| Maybe if cops from Portland, Maine's police department had gotten hold of [[James Chasse]] they wouldn't have beaten him to a bloody pulp and left him to die. On the other hand, if not for our cops, who could we depend on to shoot little 12 year-old girls waiting for the next [[MAX]] train?<br />

| '''Happy Halloween!'''<br /> | |
| Are "scary" Tea Party candidates sending voters running back into the arms of the Democratic Party? Despite $1.7 billion spent on TV ads that "Republican and Tea Party candidates are streaming now all over America," it's the "Halloween theme" that is "doing more to turn off voters than turning them on to the Republican's ultra-conservative message." For instance, the "I am not a witch" message put out by Delaware's Tea Party candidate, Christine O’Donnell, "is viewed by political analysts as one of the strangest ever."<br />

| Right-wing blogger denounces "glossy election porn" while shilling for dens of iniquity. Meanwhile other right-wing astro turfers for the Prison Industrial Complex "were indicted Tuesday on accusations they forged voter signatures on two initiative petitions." Isn't it more intelligent to say "to hell with gambling casinos and more prisons" and vote for [[Voter-Owned Elections]]?<br />

| '''Cops In "The Other Portland" Drop Their Weapons'''<br />
| |
| Police in Portland, Maine raised eyebrows after their sniper rifles began shooting all by themselves. A police training video shows the Remington 700 rifles -- "a mainstay for the U.S. military, law enforcement and gun enthusiasts" -- firing "when the trigger was not being pulled." Not realizing the weapons system's "loose cannon-like" behavior was a "feature" rather than a defect, Police Chief James Craig said "I don't want to run the risk of having an accidental discharge" that could soil an officer's pants or put a "community member's life in danger."<br />

| '''Republican Party Campaign Flyer Freakout!'''<br />
| |
| GOP operatives work so hard and get so little respect. It's not easy slathering thick wads of sleazy pro-corporate lucre everywhere just to buy up an election or two. But that's nothin'! Throwing elections and lining the Supreme Court with hand-picked corporate quislings is a messy, thankless chore. That's why it's just so upsetting when the public gets in the way. Like when an errant teacher's union flyer finds its way into a kindergartener's school folder. These types of shenanigans show blatant disrespect of one's societal betters. Jeez! I'd make a Federal case outta that kinda nonsense too. Wouldn't you?<br />
