Raw Story has a link to a story run on the Ohio NBC affiliate NBC4i.com.  The
article describes how an Ohio man was arrested for throwing rocks at the local GOP headquarters:

Police arrested 58-year-old Kenneth Dwayne Thomas in connection with the incident.

He is currently being held at the Franklin County jail and police said he will face criminal damaging charges, Tate reported.

According to investigators, Thomas also made threats toward President George W. Bush and Vice-President Dick Cheney.

Officials said he will be investigated by the Secret Service because of those comments, Tate reported.

"I know there are people out there who don’t like Republicans," McClelland said. "But to say that we’re a cancer and should be exterminated, according to what he said to police, that’s a little over the top."

The New York Post reports the "breaking news" that the
recent Osama video contains a warning of attack
for any state that votes Bush on Nov. 2.  And
of course any state that votes Kerry will be
spared.

What a pathetic, despicable, desparate
attempt by the wingers to scare the public.

46% Kerry
50% Bush
 4% Other/Undecided

664 likely voters
+- 3.9% Margin of Error

Best news:

The momentum is clearly in Kerry's favor.
Taking into account the tendency of undecideds to
strongly break for the challenger, Virginia is
still in play.

All you hardworking VA volunteers keep it up. GOTV!

The House planned to vote Thursday on a proposal by Rep. Bernard Sanders, I-Vermont, that would prevent the government from using the Patriot Act to demand records from book stores and libraries.

Notice the use of words with a strongly negative connotation: foes and force in the title.

But what really jumped out at me was this paragraph about midway through the article:

Rather than an omen of an impending showdown, the
veto threat underscored the administration's
determination to take an aggressive stance on law
enforcement and terrorism.

WTF?  This is clearly spin inserted by a sympathetic editor to soften what will be an embarrasing
rebuke of the president.

Court Reverses F.C.C's Media Ownership Rules

From the New York Times

WASHINGTON, June 24 (Reuters) - A U.S.
appeals court refused on Thursday to allow
loosened federal rules on media ownership to take
effect, dealing a blow to large broadcasters like
News Corp. and Tribune Co. looking to extend their reach.

Update [2004-6-24 20:39:2 by jacobo]: More from Common Cause


Earlier this week, in another victory for media reform, Senator Byron Dorgan (D- ND) won approval for an amendment to a defense authorization bill that would completely repeal the June 2nd rules. Common Cause and other reform groups will be working to make sure that the amendment is not stripped out of the defense department authorization bill when the House and Senate meet in conference to resolve the difference on their respective defense bills.
