Kathy Dopp, the indefatiable electoral mathematician points to ever-stronger case that Bush's team cheated to win: There is significant controversy about whether the 2004 presidential
election was conducted fairly and its votes counted correctly.
According to results of the major national election exit poll conducted
for the National Election Pool by Edison/Mitofsky (E/M), Kerry won
Ohio's pivotal vote, though the official tally gave the state, and thus
the presidency, to Bush. The conduct of Ohio's election was formally
debated by Congress in January 2005.
The National Election Data Archive (NEDA) is the first mathematical team
to release a valid scientific analysis of the precinct-level 2004 Ohio
presidential exit poll data "The Gun is Smoking: 2004 Ohio
Precinct-Level Exit Poll Data Show Virtually Irrefutable Evidence of
Vote Miscount" available at
http://electionarchive.org/ucvAnalysis/OH/Ohio-Exit-Polls-2004.pdf.
NEDA's analysis provides significant evidence of an outcome-altering
vote miscount.

Bush, the Two Trillion Dollar Man
Joseph Stiglitz, a Nobel Prize winning economist, has calculated that the cost of Bush's Iraq adventure to the American taxpayer is $2 000 000 000 000.
Well. What can you say?
As a psychiatrist I am interested in the fact that governments, who with the obvious exception of George W Bush himself, are composed of highly intelligent and rational people, are capable of doing things which are so out of touch with reality.
I would guess that $2 000 000 000 000, wisely spent on ecologically and socially sound projects, could just about put Africa back onto its feet. But if the Green Party proposed spending on such a scale on such a thing, we would just be ridiculed.
The word "psychotic" keeps coming to my mind when I think about how the world is run. Yet the leaders are so "rational". But paranoid schizophrenics can be very rational. Years ago I toyed with the term Paranoia Mutualis Caesarium to characterise the specific mindset of leaders in the Cold War. Today I re-launch the term, as a rational explanation for the irrational spending on the military machine by leaders worldwide, particularly the American leader.
