We all have heard of ballots being found in the trunks of cars, and elsewhere during recounts.  In a hotly contested race for the State Senate in New York, Democrats have gone one better, and found two new (and uncounted) voting machines.Traditionally Republican, the State Senate...

I was a guest last Monday of Mark Finkelstein, who writes for NewsBusters, on his Ithaca-based television talk show, The Right Angle.We talked about Legal Insurrection, the elections, the vice-presidential and presidential candidates, and a lot about you know who.   The video is here.   Hopefully...

Once again, Barack Obama is creating a phony crisis to rush a major legislative vote without having done the preliminary legwork to address Republican concerns.Think Stimulus and Obamacare.  This time, it arguably is the most important vote, the Senate ratification of the new START Treaty...
