glenn,

Re: truthout.org looks like a very nice site. Will definately bookmark that one.

Truthout offers a twofer. It's an excellent digest of news and views from a variety of excellent sources, and it is the current home for the writings of William Rivers Pitt.

Pitt is 31, a high school teacher in the Boston area and one of America's best new writers. He has passion, integrity and facts galore. He's a more urban version of Jim Hightower, Lou Dubose and Molly Ivins. Three people who make keeping Texas in the Union worthwhile.

I'm not sure if this has crossed your desk, but here's a fabulous segment from Democracy Now introducing Jim Hightower's latest shot across the Potomac:

Chuck Hagel (a Conservative Republican with interesting in ES & S, one of the largest voting machine companies in the nation) with an 80% majority in the black precincts in Omaha; and Saxby Chamblis in Georgia, upsetting a very popular Max Cleland with new voting machines, and no exit polls allowed. Not to mention the special treatment that Paul Wellstone got in Minnesota.

Anahoo, here's my much weaker tools than vote fraud and deux ex machina eliminations of political foes:

The lesson learned? Simply trying to educate the public is way less effective than cheating and murder.
