When linguistic shortcomings attack! Best FB comment faulting NPR's "firing" of a freelancer for OWS involvement: "NPR is just another corporation who CONTROLS it's workers." Interesting. So corporations are "who"s not "that"s after all? Pronoun #FAIL
Garage Mahal has insisted numerous times that voter fraud is non-existent in Wisconsin. Yet I've seen and heard of several instances where it has occurred. Now comes former Alabama Congressman Artur Davis who says: I Should have supported voter ID law.
So who should I believe? Garage or the former congressman who says: "The truth is that the most aggressive contemporary voter suppression in the African American community, at least in Alabama, is the wholesale manufacture of ballots, at the polls and absentee, in parts of the Black Belt.
Voting the names of the dead, and the nonexistent, and the too-mentally-impaired to function, cancels out the votes of citizens who are exercising their rights -- that's suppression by any light. If you doubt it exists, I don't; I've heard the peddlers of these ballots brag about it, I've been asked to provide the funds for it, and I am confident it has changed at least a few close local election results."
Nature is weird. Many people who grew up in the 60s were taught to love it, but isn't it a strange mess to "love" it? Slavoj Zizek is now arguing that people should be able to have sex with monkeys, just as they should be able to abolish capitalism. What is natural isn't necessarily good, is it?

Qadaffi's body is on public display in a freezer in Misrata!!
What a terrible insult to Muslim tradition and culture! How insensitive!
Don't they realize that this will just recruit more terrorists for Al Qaeda?
Wait . . . they are Muslim?
Never mind.
Come 'round again — next time don't leaf so soon.
