KPFK 'BradCast': Palm Beach Election Supervisor Says FL Sec. of State Yet to Return Call About GOP Voter Registration Fraud Scandal
Given the rampage that state officials in Florida have been on over the past year to purge voter rolls of illegal, supposedly "non-citizen" voter registrations in the state, and the draconian restrictions they've attempted to place on third-party voter registration workers and organizations, in a supposed attempt to curb voter registration fraud, you'd think they'd be all over this week's revelati

Of books and shirts and prices
Strange thing, prices.  Seems J.K. Rowling’s got a new book out, The Casual Vacancy. Seems the e-book version is priced at $18, which is a fair bit higher than your usual e-book price. And now there is a great hue and cry. Charges of gouging, people with their knickers all in a knot.  This after the great hue and cry a while back over the proliferation of free or 99 cent e-books and how they were
