THE MESS

THE NEW BUSH BUMPER STICKERS

REPUBLICANS IN CHARGE ABSOLUTELY. ANY QUESTIONS?

19 THINGS YOU NEED TO BELIEVE TO BE A REPUBLICAN:

15. Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime, unless you're a conservative radio host. Then it's an illness and you need our prayers for your recovery.

Me thinks Joe Scarborough dose protest to much about this McCain article in the NY Times. Did he protest this much back when Drudge outted Bill Clinton?

The talking heads are saying the only reason this McCain story is getting press (outside the fact that they are all talking about it hour after hour) is that it's about sex which they all think it's awful and shouldn't be used. Where were these guys back when Bill Clinton was in office and even today when they ask how will Hillary control Bill if she is elected.

Good news David Schuster returns to work tomorrow.

The republicans continue to pound on the word LIBERAL and as this election period moves on you hear them use it almost as a swear word. They are good with their words and use them all the time.

Don't forget to watch the debate tonight on CNN.

DO YOU THINK THAT WORDS MATTER

Well it seems that Bill O'Reilly stepped into it the other day with his use of the word lynch. Remember the golf announcer a few weeks ago used that word while talking about Tiger Woods. She apologized and was suspended for two weeks.

What did you think will happen to the O-man? Nothing is my guess.

THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS MARCH 7 MILES TO VOTE

I came across this article the other day. It's a great story and shows just how energized the young people today are.

Early voting starts today in Texas. In Waller County, a primarily rural county about 60 miles outside Houston, the county made the decision to offer only one early voting location: at the County Courthouse in Hempstead, TX, the county seat.
Prairie View A&M students organized to protest the decision, because they felt it hindered their ability to vote. For background, Prairie View A&M is one of Texas' historically Black universities. It has a very different demographic feel than the rest of the county. There has been a long history of dispute over what the students feel is disenfranchisement. There was a lot of outrage in 2006, when students felt they were unfairly denied the right to vote when their registrations somehow did not get processed.
According to an article in today's Houston Chronicle:
Waller County has faced numerous lawsuits involving voting rights in the past 30 years and remains under investigation by the Texas Attorney General's Office based on complaints by local black leaders. Those allegations, concerning the November 2006 general election, related to voting machine failures, inadequate staffing and long delays for voting results.
The article adds,
"I was angry after registering to vote in the 2006 election only to be turned away at the voting booth," said sophomore Dee Dee Williams.
So what are the students doing?
1000 students, along with an additional 1000 friends and supporters, are this morning walking the 7.3 miles between Prairie View and Hempstead in order to vote today. According to the piece I saw on the news (there's no video up, so I can't link to it), the students plan to all vote today. There are only 2 machines available at the courthouse for early voting, so they hope to tie them up all day and into the night.
I love stories like this. In the face of an obvious ploy to suppress the vote, these young people stood up for their rights and showed that they will not be cowed. Republicans should be worried, because this is a committed electorate.
