Stolen election?

Like many others, I have long resisted -- if not rejected -- the notion of deliberate, systematic election fraud. In part, I think I have been cowed into self-doubt and submission by the persistent disdain of the media machine -- as well as the admitted excesses of those who delight in conspiratorial speculation -- and internalized skepticism about the notion of grand plots. I mean: I accept that there is ambiguity about what is right and true, and Kerry ran a bad campaign, so Americans might really have chosen Bush; get over it and come up with a real plan.

But the sleeper awakens.

This is getting scary.
