Voter Intimidation
Alright, FOX has its own well-known leanings, and the intimidation incident was probably a minor one. But the fact remains that if whites had done something similar, then blacks would have been screaming themselves hoarse about it. Watch the clip.

LOADED QUESTIONS IN SADHVI'S “NARCO” TEST
I am posting it here, because older blogs tend to get sidelined.
In today's Times of India, Mumbai Print edition, the following news item appeared: Cops use narco test to zero in on sadhvi’s role (Mateen Hafeez | TNN)
Noteworthy are the following: “Was the Malegaon bomb blast your idea or were you assigned the job of putting together a team to execute it?” This was the most important question forensic experts asked sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur during her narco analysis test at Nagpada police hospital on Tuesday. ... The questions, prepared by the anti-terrorism squad (ATS), were based on the interrogation of the eight arrested accused in the last 10 days. ... The ATS handed over three sets of questions to the forensic experts led by Rukmani Krishnamurty, director of state forensic science laboratory. The questions, said sources, were centred around the blast and the links between the accused. "Who hatched the conspiracy and how many meetings were conducted at Nashik?" was also part of the questionnaire. Another question Pragya and Kulkarni were asked was, "Who tampered with the chassis number of the bike which was used in the blast?"...”
Plese notice that the three questions are Logical Fallacies falling under the class of "Loaded Questions", the interrogative form of "Begging the Question". The classical example of it is, "Have you stopped beating your wife?" [From The Atheism Web — Logic & Fallacies]: The question presupposes a definite answer to another question which has not even been asked. This trick is often used by lawyers in cross-examination, when they ask questions like:
"Where did you hide the money you stole?"
Similarly, politicians often ask loaded questions such as:
"How long will this EU interference in our affairs be allowed to continue?"
or
"Does the Chancellor plan two more years of ruinous privatization?"
Another form of this fallacy is to ask for an explanation of something which is untrue or not yet established.”
The deliberate use of these Loaded Questions reveals the malicious intent to prove, by the hook or the crook, that the Sadhvi is guilty. Incidentally, the news item could not be found on the regular Web edition of ToI.
An article no one with money in stocks should ignore. Jon Markman makes a case for DOW JONES IND AVERAGE (DJIA) to hit 4000 in the next couple years.

I have been following articles by Jon Markman over the past two years. He was among the few who has predicted the fallout of the credit crisis and has a good feel of what is going on in wall street.
