Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
There's always hope that the logical divide between cheapness and racism will cause short-circuited brains, but that rarely happens beyond a "But--but?--but!"
Come on, can you think of a better way to spend tax dollars than making sure poor black people aren't getting away with something? Surely not!
the nanny is at the house with mac. he remains in his room in a semi-turd-like state. Because I am glutton for punishment I have offered to take him to lunch, location is my choosing.
Oh, yeah -- I loved the 90s look of flowy floral dresses and clompy stompy boots.
Clearly I'm going to need a hat!
So in other words, River Tam.
Sophia,
your question about voter ID, etc. is exactly right. Several states have investigated the "problem" of voter fraud and found it to be negligible if not nonexistent. In fact, the documented cases of voter fraud of which I am aware were members of the GOP (Indiana and Colorado, I think).
In principle, I am not sure people are against voter ID, but the implementation is really biased: has to be a state issued id or driver's license, school id won't work. library card won't work. gun license WILL work. This is too much WTF for the world.
Further, PA's voter id was put in place with insufficient time for everyone to get ids. And state offices didn't have enough open hours or staff to process them by elections.
So this is suppression, plain and simple.
Yikes, Theo! Glad the end of that story was good. Scary.
Jesse, that describes my tumblr. I actually set it up for Good Stuff, possibly? Or that was the first thing I ever followed.
I was out of college by the 90s, and I'm thinking I was stuck in the 80s. I never owned body suits, and I was still wearing leggings a lot. And then fairly traditional office suits.
Is that you blonde, Lisa??

The way the PA law ended up being implemented for the last election, they asked everyone for ID, but you weren't required to show it unless it was your first time voting at that polling place (which it was for me -- I moved to PA in the summer of 2010, but was involved in moving stuff and forgot to register in time for the 2010 election, and then there wasn't anything of importance being voted on in 2011.) For student IDs, Penn State has issued new ones that do qualify for the PA law, but the students who had the old ones had to go get stickers put on them, and there were still some questions about whether they'd count.
