Show Notes:
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Thomas might be married to his own conflict of interest (his partner is breaking new ground in political activism), but what are the rules about justices and potential conflicts of interest? Not pretty. Plus why dredge up the Anita Hill story at this time? Stephen shares an interesting theory. And then we are off to the polls, wondering if we should trust them and if we should even do them. And of course our feature "Below The Fold: news you might have missed":
Anti-Sex politician sells sex products
A new low in voter suppression
India is the first with a new way to measure progress
Tea Party candidate hearts East Germany, and Der Spiegel is not amused.
New York thinks about regulating anti-abortion clinic
Google backs a funky bike thingy
