...Cuyahoga County, at least three precincts saw a scanner malfunction, according to the Cleveland ACLU. Other counties are seeing similar problems. However, the ACLU adds, most boards of elections have dispatched troubleshooters to fix the problems, leading to only short delays. The larger issue at hand is that in the interim - which was 45 minutes at one Cleveland precinct and at least four hours at a suburban voting location - voters are simply putting their ballots into locked boxes, without the ability to scan them through first. That's turning into a violation of the Help America Vote Act's second...
...this is a comedy, similar in slapstick tone and comic asides to the Naked Gun movies. And like the police detective played there by Leslie Nielsen, Malone is a guy whose blithe stupidity brings physical harm to those around him - an idiot cocooned in delusion. It happens that Malone's story is narrated by Leslie Nielsen, playing an amiable but slightly loony oldster. So it's possible to take the whole movie as a parody of right-wingers' views of left-wingers...
Even if Europe pulls back, the U.S. may be able to pick up the slack. Both presidential candidates support a national carbon cap-and-trade system, similar to that in place in Europe, and Barack Obama has pledged to invest $150 billion in clean tech over 10 years if he's elected President.

...Siberian city of Barnaul, pensioners, angry with rapidly declining living standards and rapidly rising bills, last week stormed and occupied the Regional Administration Building, demanding more money. Russian sociologists are expecting a massive wave of similar protests and strikes to roll throughout Russia, not unlike those that shook the country in the 1990s, with angry coal miners blocking railways in Siberia and unpaid workers striking in the cities. Now some enterprises are again failing to pay their workers, while others simply go out of business. But disruptive protests would contravene a new labor code passed under Putin in 2001, which...
