From Politico
Close your eyes when you play this and just listen to the words... is it just me, or is this ever-so-slightly Palin-esque?
Don't take calcium if you have blue eyes
And, don't let anyone in future persuade you, otherwise
heart size does matter
old friend on the hill over tea,
perturbing, very, why
or is it a hyper state
paranoia?
Do people forgive,
do I?
The heart loves walking.
Which surgeon?
Surgery booked, mid-September

Why Mom?

Erm, if stevej has something planned for this weekend, then take this down, but if anyone wants to post a photo......... feel free.
I'll start with a couple....


Carry on people (and keep calm).
Throughout the Democratic primary, many raised doubts as to the impartiality of the process. These doubts stemmed primarily from grievances regarding systemic issues like superdelegates and closed primaries as well as concerns surrounding the Party Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who had co-chaired Clinton’s primary run in 2008. The media’s seemingly slanted coverage only added to suspicions.
Yet another daily update on the Jill Stein and the Green Party front!
Today, Stein gained ballot access in two additional states--Idaho (4 electoral votes) and Alabama (9 electoral votes). These additional 13 votes bring her total electoral vote ballot potential count up to 438 as she now has direct ballot access in 37 states plus Washington D.C.


Hey, I'm kinda curious… there have been a couple of essays, and a few comments - one or two by me - that received little or no comment. Jus' crickets.
The gist of it is this: why can't an enterprising group (read 'class') - say, like c99p - sue the DNC and one or more states, , for defrauding the set-up for the election we're about to enter?
A poll by the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) released yesterday has found that 72% of Americans favor passing legal protections from discrimination for LGBT people.
A couple of diarists reported about the poll yesterday but buried the lede in favor of the information of the presidential numbers.
