Lucianne.com has a nice round-up of political stories today that you should check out. Among the most important:* A report (from the New York Times, no less) on the fictitious donors (read illegal) being found in Barack Obama's finance lists. As the Lucianne team suggests, "How vast can this be if the New York Times has been forced to report it?" Also, here's one of the L-dotter comments on the story -- "These are only the sloppy and obvious ones. How many phony ''John Smiths'' are on the list that don't really exist? How many ''James Robertsons'' that are just names selected out of a phone book who never really gave? How many ''Vladislaw Kozlinksis'' who gave from Europe but covered up with a US name and address? How many ''Martina Soroskovas'' who were just fronts for organizations?"
* A Washington Times story about Obama's efforts to influence the Iraqi government away from U.S. policy.
* A blistering editorial from Investor's Business Daily about the unrepentant domestic terrorist (and Obama colleague and pal) Bill Ayers.
* And, finally, here's a funny yet tragic example of just how dumbed down the voting public is. You can see this kind of ignorance on Jay Leno or, for that matter, in way too many of America's university classrooms. This one comes from sidewalk interviews taped for, I apologize, the Howard Sten radio show. It's a great argument for stricter voter requirements.
