		<description>#91 - Big Boy

&gt;&gt;The WJS did have a story about damaged 
&gt;&gt;ballots, that could be the reason for the 
&gt;&gt;mis-match between voters and votes.

Well, Biggie, it wasn&#039;t exactly a &quot;story&quot; as in a vetted, researched, NEWS ARTICLE.

It was an unsigned editorial on the Opinion page in a newspaper whose Opinion pages is world-renowned for it&#039;s right-wing views.  No source to back it up.  People can say anything they want to in an editorial, a letter to the editor, or a blog posting.

In other words, the moral equivalent of an off-hand remark by Loofah Pad O&#039;Reilly or Anal Cyst Limbaugh.

So.

I&#039;m still waiting for &#039;temptie to provide some evidence of his absurd allegation...it&#039;s looking more and more as though he heard it on the Loofah Pad or Anal Cyst show, as I seriously doubt he reads the WSJ.  He may have given it a shot after Murdoch bought the paper, but abandoned the attempt after realizing that his reading comprehension was no match for the newspaper.</description>

The WJS did have a story about damaged ballots, that could be the reason for the mis-match between voters and votes.

&quot;Under Minnesota law, election officials are required to make a duplicate ballot if the original is damaged during Election Night counting. Officials are supposed to mark these as &quot;duplicate&quot; and segregate the original ballots. But it appears some officials may have failed to mark ballots as duplicates, which are now being counted in addition to the originals. This helps explain why more than 25 precincts now have more ballots than voters who signed in to vote. By some estimates this double counting has yielded Mr. Franken an additional 80 to 100 votes.&quot;

		<description>#84 - &#039;tempt

Aw gosh, son.  Make it easy on yourself.  Just admit that you were lying, and in your bitterness over Normie losing, you just made up some figures to support your allegation of voter &quot;fraud&quot;.

No place in the state of Minnesota reported more votes than they had registered voters.  Not a one.  Not Ramsey County, not Hennepin County, not Anoka County, not Mille Lacs County, not Kandiyohi County, no county.  Not even Lac Qui Parle County, in case you were going to try and say that the lake told you about the &quot;fraud&quot;.

Just like with Martha Stewart and Richard Nixon, the coverup is always worse than the crime.

So admit it, won&#039;t you? You lied to us, &#039;temptie.</description>

		<description>Contempt for the truth:  no, I also took time to link to a site reporting NO COUNTY  in Minnesota has 9578 registered voters. (#71).  So, different websites can report different numbers==but any website has more credibility than anyone advertising themselves as &quot;Contempt for the Truth.&quot;

Did you pick that name or was it court ordered in your release program?</description>

Here I am ready to reveal my source when imagine my joy to find further ravings. I applaud you on entertainment you can&#039;t buy anywhere, and you are providing it for free.

I have discovered that witnessing your further decent into madness is much more gratifying than just proving I am right and you are a fool.

Let the show continue - I can hardly wait for the second act!</description>
