Voter Suppression = Bad: Yesterday Attorney General Eric Holder made a speech on voting rights:
Declaring in a speech that protecting ballot access for all eligible voters “must be viewed not only as a legal issue but as a moral imperative,” Mr. Holder urged Americans to “call on our political parties to resist the temptation to suppress certain votes in the hope of attaining electoral success and, instead, achieve success by appealing to more voters.”
Speaking of Voter Suppression: In Pennsylvania, Senate State Government Committee Chairman Charles McIlhinney is pushing a voter ID law even though “he has seen no proof that people are casting illegal ballots.”
Human Rights Watch Has Its Eyes on Alabama: Human Rights Watch has issued a report concluding that there is “no way to live” under Alabama’s draconian immigration laws.
Yesterday in Belgium: “5 dead, scores injured in Belgium grenade, gun attack.”
How Sensible: “The authorities in Chile are encouraging men to leave their ties at home during the coming summer months to save energy.” Sometimes mundane news can be comforting.

gloomy gus:
C’mon! What would we do around here without Bailo to kick around???
Keekee, I would love a chance to find out!
How could you miss such an obvious headline?
SPAM… in spaaaaaaccccce!
Is that your thumb on the baggage scale, or are you just happy to see me?
Think I’ll drive.
@1, @4, will this exciting new technocracy be run by SUPER DUPER EXPERTS like you, who can’t even formulate a simple URL? I think I’d rather have Newt Gingrich.
I heartily encourage the mass exodus of everyone with a clue from Alabama. Let the few remaining inbred pig fuckers sit in their own filth and wonder what went wrong. There’s nothing in Alabama anybody wants, anyways.
