If I’m incommunicado for a few days, you might want to send a search party. Seems Mt. St. Helens is getting ready to explode again. In the meantime, the following random bits of internet flotsam and jetsam should keep you entertained…

• Via Sid the Fish, check out Florida’s new electronic ballot.
• CBS News reports Bush’s Top Ten Flip-Flops. For my friends at Right on Red, they do Kerry, too.
• From First Draft we learn that George Bush supporters are, apparently, profoundly ignorant of their candidate’s stance on the issues.
• By way of The Poor Man, we find the official website of the Diplomats & Military Commanders for Change, representing 50 former high-level diplomats, generals and admirals who believe you shouldn’t vote for Bush.
• George Soros nails it. Atrios has the quote and the link.
• The Medium Lobster makes an excellent point: ”[The American Left has] decried Iyad Allawi’s address to the US Congress scarcely a month before the election, calling Allawi a “puppet,” a shill for the Bush administration, an exile lackey in the service of a partisan political agenda. To which the Medium Lobster responds: of course he is.” As if Allawi could afford to tell the Bush administration to go screw themselves.
• Brad DeLong points out that, as there are those among Congressional Republicans who are now openly proposing that America condone torture, throwing Bush out of office takes on greater urgency.
• I love it when Kevin Drum gets on a rant. Here he eviscerates Christopher Hitchens.
• I agree with (different) Kevin at Catch: at least Chris Matthews can call bullshit. When will we see other reporters do the same?
• Andrew Cline at Rhetorica rightly notes why people tune in to the Daily Show.
• Play the How Can Gallup? game at DonkeyRising.
