[lit-ideas] What a coincidence...

In today's article by Paul Krugman in the NYT:

P.S.: Another story you may not see on TV: Jeb Bush insists that electronic 
voting machines
are perfectly reliable, but The St. Petersburg Times says the Republican Party 
of Florida
has sent out a flier urging supporters to use absentee ballots because the 
machines lack a
paper trail and cannot "verify your vote."

P.P.S.: Three weeks ago, The New Republic reported that the Bush administration 
was
pressuring Pakistan to announce a major terrorist capture during the Democratic 
convention.
Hours before Mr. Kerry's acceptance speech, Pakistan announced, several days 
after the fact,
that it had apprehended an important Al Qaeda operative.
