See Jane subvert the structures of patriarchal dominance. Subvert, Jane, subvert!

I can't help but wonder if Wonkette has stumbled upon the source of Greg Palast's latest scoop -- a file apparently created to support Republican voter intimidation in Florida. I've pasted the relevant email from the brilliant parody site "georgewbush.org" below, in case they get intimidated themselves. At the moment, the original (scroll down) is in their "Dead Letter Office", which consists of authentic GOP emails intended for "georgewbush.com".

Other than voter intimidation, I can't imagine what purpose a "caging" database could serve. If anybody has an innocent explanation, I'd love to hear it. I can always use a good laugh. Don't try to say it's all a fake, though; Tim Griffin (just for starters) is easy enough to find, though he does say "Generally speaking, we don't generally speak about what we do." I should think they don't.

Apparently this kind of thing is planned in Ohio, too.
