This is awful. I hope that they nail ACORN. Now the question is whether Obama's campaign gave the $800000 it gave with any knowledge of this aspect of ACORN's "work". If so, then was it an unscrupulous underling what that she/he was being clever? Did Obama know about this? The answers to these three questions, I'll bet, will not be forthcoming anytime soon.
I agree and I don't want to hear four more years of "So and so was selected, not elected." If Obama gets elected fair and square, then I am happy to respect the decision of my fellow citizens, but I would rather not have any doubts.
I agree. I was not one of those who complained bitterly over the result of Florida. Transparency may not have ever been as complete as desired, but there were great efforts in that direction.

Now that the course is essentially done, I can rededicate myself to losing weight (I think I have rededicated myself several times already this summer!).
8/5/2009 Swamped is not the word for it. I have work coming out of my ears. In the fall semester beginning in September, I have been assigned a new class, Japanese 321 Readings in Modern Document Styles. It is right up my alley. We will read various newspaper articles, magazine articles, technical documents, and so forth. I probably won't be able to keep the class permanently because so much shuffling of faculty assignments goes on every semester.

I am a teacher and a translator. I enjoy the former most, but I do the latter the most. In fact, if I am not sleeping or teaching, I am translating.
