Project Insomnia

Project Insomnia is many things, but in this context it is simply a "braindump" of whatever I happen to be thinking/reading/watching/doing at the moment. Parental guidance suggested.

Perhaps we should get our own house in order before leveling criticism?

Apparently the United States is not the only country who can't manage to hold an honest presidential election, according to this SFGate/NYTimes article:
The United States declared the results of the presidential election in Belarus invalid on Monday and called for a new race, even as President Alexander Lukashenko defiantly swept aside criticism and declared himself the winner of a third term.

'The United States does not accept the results of the election,' said Scott McClellan, the White House spokesman. 'We support the call for a new election.'
Even putting aside the natural inclination to disregard any pronouncements of Scott McClellan, it seems outrageous for a country which has had two successive widely-disputed presidential elections to make public pronouncements of how shocked, shocked we are that another country would have similar problems.

I wonder what crooked voting machines Belarus is using?
