Morning Five: Karzai says okay to a runoff
1. Karzi vs. Abdullah Abdullah on November 7th - Afghanistan President Hamid Karzi agreed to a runoff election on November 7th against his closest challenger, former Foreign Minister Abdullah Abdullah. It seems that there was a tad of election fraud the first go-round, with as many as one THIRD of the sitting President’s votes being fraudulent. Without a simple majority, there has to be a runoff. And it looks like there now will be. Seems Sen. John Kerry played a big roll in getting Mr. Karzai to accept the runoff election. (From the NY Times)
2. Airlines are outsourcing repairs. And guess what? The work isn’t being done right – In an attempt to save money, airlines are starting to outsource plane maintenance to countries where a commercial aircraft mechanic makes about $7,000 a year. Seven-grand a year to make sure the fuselage on your Thanksgiving weekend plane doesn’t explode into pieces. Seems kinda cheap doesn’t it? Anyway, there haven’t been any major disasters… yet… but when it’s a race to the bottom cost-wise, there will be some slip ups on the way. Like crossed wires in the cockpit on engine sensors that could make a pilot shut down his one working engine if the other fails. Whoops.

3. Feds won’t go after Medicinal Marijuana users or providers – The Obama administration has informed the Department Of Justice that going after medicinal marijuana users, or providers in states that allow the practice isn’t a good use of their time. Victory for hippies AND states-rights conservatives? Darn-tootin. (From Hot Air)

5. iPhone vs. Droid – The Verizon Droid phone is throwing some serious daggers at the Apple iPhone. The commercials airing everywhere use bouncy, hipster-sounding Apple-like music while listing off all the knocks against the iPhone. Then it launches into a menacing graphic/music display while promoting the upcoming release of the Droid, a new phone from Motorola and Verizon. Great marketing campaign… but… will the Droid actually outshine the iPhone? (From Gizmodo)
