Tim Kettler, Green Party candidate for Secretary of State today submitted a complaint with both the Coshocton County Sheriff's department and the Coshocton County Prosecutor alleging misconduct during the 2004 Presidential Vote Recount. Those named in the complaint include the Directors and Members of the Coshocton County Board of Election, as well as Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell and at least three of his employees. The complaint also demands the appointment of a special prosecutor and a court order to preserve documents.

"With voter confidence and participation at an all-time low it is imperative that our election officials conduct our elections with transparency and integrity. The Republicans and Democrats presently in control of the process have failed to live up to that responsibility and voters demand accountability for this failure", Kettler said on Wednesday.

Kettler's platform calls for the inclusion of Independents and Third Parties at the local board level and the use of hand counted paper ballots to insure a verifiable record of votes cast.

AUSTIN, Texas -- The most cunning refinement yet in the administration's plot to scare the liver, lights and onions out of us with Tales of Terror Plots is the Department of Homeland Security's brilliant move to declare Indiana the national center of terrorism, with 8,591 potential targets. Many citizens have questioned the Indiana move -- some claiming it is a waste of money trying to stop attacks on the Wabash Cannonball. The Statue of Liberty and the Washington Monument might merit a little more attention. This is precisely why it is better to have Michael Chertoff and Karl Rove making this Homeland Security decisions, rather than Osama bin Laden.

The defeat of Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman in the Democratic primary alerted Veep Dick Cheney to the menace. Ned Lamont, the guy who beat Lieberman, said he was surprised that Cheney claimed his victory would embolden Osama bin, as we call him Texas.

Having just viewed “V for Vendetta”, I feel stirred to release my own cinematic masterpiece, entitled “B for Bush Did It”. In this gripping saga, B is suffering abysmal poll numbers less than a year after stealing the presidential election of 2000. A senator from his own party has defected and become an independent who votes against anything even remotely Bush League, thus rendering the latter as impotent in the halls of Congress as he has always been when forced to compete in an unfixed game. The people of America have clearly and accurately identified the Bush presidency as their true and mortal enemy. What’s a B to do?

“Knock, knock.”

“Who's there?”

“Joe.”

“Joe who?”

“Joe worst nightmare – voters who are paying attention.”

And the day after he lost the primary, Joe Lieberman still didn't get the joke. He can't imagine this is happening, so he's pretending it didn't. Corporate media is analyzing itself into convulsions over this. It was the bloggers, it was MoveOn.org, it was crazy liberals from Internet cafés. It was very simple.

Lieberman lost because he was afraid. The radical liberals won because we were not afraid to lose.

Lieberman and the rest of the establishment Democrats who compromised themselves and their integrity when they supported this ugly war did so only as a calculated ploy. The moral objection to making war for expedient, political, or strategical reasons not only lost the argument, it wasn't even invited to the debate. There was no moral foundation for this war. They went along with it because they were afraid to say “no”. Now that it has become obvious that the war was a colossal blunder, they are afraid to admit it.
