Those folks are part of the King County debacle...If the Repubs had done even a tenth of "oh my gosh, look at the votes we just found", or "found them in Alaska," or "failed to send the Military ballots out in time" TETC ETC EETC ....the MSM would have been all over the story every single day. As it is....mostly NADA!

I wrote to Barnett a few times and he wrote back. We disagreed about whether America is an empire. I have reserved a copy of "Empire of Wealth" from the library. Read a bit at Barnes and Noble, it does look good. Part of the thesis is that America is an empire, but in an unprecedented fashion, dominates the world through the creation of wealth. amazon.com I think it's just a quibble over terminology to deny that America is an empire, and I think we're wasting time that we could be spending more fruitfully on thinking about how to use our power wisely. But you knew that.
