...emerged from Kimberlin's network. This time, the person had something of objective value: a pair of Diebold AccuVote TS voting machines, acquired through his job in the e-voting industry. Although e-voting- machine makers claimed their products were secure, no independent academic had managed to dissect an actual machine to check the assertion. Kimberlin called Professor Avi Rubin of Johns Hopkins University, who had written about vulnerabilities in Diebold's e-voting source code after it was inadvertently left on a public server. "When Brett first contacted me, he seemed surprised that I didn't recognize him," Rubin...
...First, women need to admit there is an actual problem. I can’t speak for all student groups on campus, but just look at Harvard’s political groups. During this year’s UC elections, the fact that out of seven executive tickets, only one woman candidate ran (and in the VP spot, no less) is a wake-up call to all those who are in denial.

Jim Clyburn, the new House majority whip and his minority counterpart, Blunt, held a joint event, with Clyburn accepting an actual whip and the pair praising each other. Clyburn said he and Blunt "would continue to have our good working relationship." Blunt, the man in charge of blocking the Democrats' agenda, not only extolled Clyburn, but said "there's a lot to admire about Nancy Pelosi." Clyburn highlighted...
...events reeks of a self-conscious desire to highlight all soft-focus interest groups that come with the Pelosi package: Italian, female, Catholic, grandmother. With so many facets illuminated, perhaps Pelosi's people are hoping no one notices what's been left out: the only nod to Pelosi's actual home district and voting record may well be Bennett's theme song, "I Left My Heart in San Francisco...
