Tomorrow is Election Day: I’d rather watch election results than the Super Bowl. The day after the 2004 election we left for a week in Paris. Everyone there we talked to was shocked that George W. was re-elected, as were we. It took some time to get over my depression, but Paris is a city one can get healthy in quickly. I am more optimistic this time, and that could be dangerous. Still, I am predicting that the Democrats will take the house, probably 25 seats, will not take the Senate (although there is a strong possibility that they will) and will gain 7 governorships. Hopefully we will know by Wednesday morning.  Comments (6) |  Add as favourites (20) |  Quote this article on your site | Views: 145 | E-mail

Olbermann addresses the Military Commissions Act in a special comment SPECIAL COMMENT By Keith Olbermann Anchor, 'Countdown' MSNBC We have lived as if in a trance. We have lived as people in fear. And now—our rights and our freedoms in peril—we slowly awake to learn that we have been afraid of the wrong thing. Therefore, tonight have we truly become the inheritors of our American legacy. For, on this first full day that the Military Commissions Act is in force, we now face what our ancestors faced, at other times of exaggerated crisis and melodramatic fear-mongering: A government more dangerous to our liberty, than is the enemy it claims to protect us from.

October 17, 2006 “The legislation signed by the President today violates basic principles and values of our constitutional system of government. It allows the government to seize individuals on American soil and detain them indefinitely with no opportunity to challenge their detention in court. And the new law would permit an individual to be convicted on the basis of coerced testimony and even allow someone convicted under these rules to be put to death. The checks and balances of our system of government and the fundamental fairness of the American people and legal system are among our greatest strengths in the fight against terrorism. I am deeply disappointed that Congress enacted this law. We will look back on this day as a stain on our nation’s history.”
