Some good news….

Well…I know I shortchanged you guys on the life column this morning and I may even go back and add to it…but, I’m sitting here listening to David Gilmour on TV and wanted to comment on some good news that has been coming for the past couple of days…it seems that the courts are starting to get it right on the voter suppression laws that the repubs are so fond of with three of them being struck down in the past week or so….along with the egregious redistricting in Texas where the repubs blatantly redrew lines to make sure that minorities would be shut out of governing…or being able to vote for people other than repubs…now, the appeals court needs to throw out the Pennsylvania law that was approved by a purchased repub judge to make it even better…and maybe then, we can get the Koch brothers out of the business of trying to buy laws through ALEC….what else? Oh, I find it the ultimate in hubris that ole Mitt is touring the hurricane flooded south and offering “whatever I can do to help”…is he so deluded that he thinks he’s president already? It is the people in the flooded area that will be hit hard if the idiot gets elected and FEMA gets eliminated…and let’s remember his running mate Ryan was the one who held up emergency assistance for tornado victims a few years back to score political points, saying that he would not approve it unless other things equal to the assistance was cut from the budget….remember folks, this is the party that doesn’t give a damn about anything but themselves…geez…

September 1st

Well…running as late as I ever have today but I have great excuses that I won’t get into right now…it was a huge sports day yesterday and I think I strained a finger flipping back and forth last night…and it looks like another one of those today…haven’t even gotten to the newspapers yet and it is 11:30…so I am going to go do that right now and come back later for more…
