Significant If True

This could just as well be a hoax, but even if it is, it's fun to think that this is what the result of solid political action sounds like.

Where To Fight

It's good to show up at marches and rallies and protests and such - the meatspace is a very important thing.  But cyberspace is where more and more of the good stuff is happening.

So get yourself up on facebook and whatever other interwebs thingies you can think of and make your presence known.

And remember that you can set up a facebook account under any alias or pseudonym you want - all you need is an email account, which can also be anonymous.*

Participate - democracy is not a spectator sport.

Robert Hurt (US House of Representatives - VA5)

Rob Bell (VA House of Delegates - District 58)

*facebook tries to prevent this, but it can be done if you're sensible about it.

Presidents Speak

From way back when Repubs weren't just fingers in the mouth, jumpin' up and down crazy.

Ladies And Gentlemen - President Feckless

From the comments:

Mitt is funny. He's too chicken to stand up to Rush Limbaugh, and he calls Obama feckless? Mitt is an amorphous jellyfish who HAS no actual positions on anything. (I'm seriously starting to wonder if he sleeps in a bucket at night.)

Oops

Attention: Doomsday Fans

Since the Mayan calendar made no allowance for Leap Year, today's date is actually July 28, 2013 - so the end of the world is now about 7 months overdue.

Good luck gettin' refunds for your Apocalypse Cruise or whatever.

The New Jim Crow

This is gonna be a tough one for a while, I think.  I'm still not convinced Voter ID is anything more than the typical Solution-In-Search-Of-A-Problem.  Especially when Dems benefit more than Repubs when more people vote, and that the GOP is almost always the side pushing for more restrictions on who gets to vote - so there's ample cause for suspicion.

Until somebody can show me real evidence of real Voter Fraud - and not the crap about a few random idiots who're just out to fuck with the system trying to get famous - I have to assume these laws are intended to keep people away from the polls.
