Wednesday, October 27, 2004 I have been so busy trying to clear my plate to accommodate my trip to Florida, that I have not had time for much else. As we get closer to the election, however, the media is running more stories about poll watchers and the dirty tricks that have already been occurring to reinforce the need for them. Someone recently put it very well in describing what we will be doing, saying "we are not there to observe voting rights irregularities and report them to the UN, we are there to make sure that all qualified voters are allowed to vote and have their votes counted." Another observer likened the poll watchers to the flying monkeys from The Wizard of Oz. Yeah, that works for me, especially if it means that I get one of those little pillbox hats. They're so versatile, so Jackie O, and they look great on people or monkeys!posted by Andrea at 4:30 PM ;id=345;action=next">Next ![]() ![]() |
