"...state-issued photo ID at the polls imposes an unfair burden on poor and minority voters...."

Can judges just make stuff like this up? It's not like there's ever been any substantiation for this. What if the judge said, "Because, Martians." Would anybody have to take that seriously?

As I posted a few minutes ago on the ONT:

I'm sad to hear of that fellow suffering a while from the execution drugs. Justice should be sure & swift. The "liberals" who made that problem happen sure are cruel and insensitive.

G'morning. Incident involving cats has me up a half-hour early. What's your excuse?

Well, that's it for me. As usual. Hm. I almost miss hanging out here in the pit. At night, I mean. I come back in the morning, and it's, well, you know, that stale-beer-and-cigs smell, and you can see everything in the grim light of day.

Good night, Gracies.

Lens COVERS. A simple old-fash physical slide gate - would protect lenses, too, duh. Absence of these is not accidental, of course.

Must admit, when that hummingbird was hovering outside the window this morning, removing the tape was significantly delaying. Hope I have more time if serious cam need arises.

Physical mic cutoffs, not software. Yeah, I still wouldn't trust anything I couldn't open up and verify. Meanwhile, I think a simple 4-contact dummy plug may cut of the mic for now. Untested, but plugging in the stereo-with-mic headset does cut off the mic in the phone, so, theoretically.

Sunday, while changing the tape, I was cleaning the lens on the front cam. That main cam is impressive enough, but the front pinhole cam is amazing; terrifying. What used to be high tech superspy stuff is now in the hands of every perv and creep.

Joy!

"Gun Permits For Indiana Women Surger 42%"

Does this have something to do with fabric machines? Women are so clever!

Thanks for the feedback on Windows Phones. May go that way.

Won't do Apple, Google R evil, MS seems the least of the big 3 weevils.

I'm also thinking, what about ditching Google's YouTube? That's a tough one. It's YouTube, where everything is. I've got a lot invested in YT. Besides my several videos, I've spent a lot of time setting up my website to work with YT playlists. Would have to start all over with Vimeo or something. But I will.

STARVE THE BEAST!

»» Google is removing advertisements from its site for "crisis pregnancy centers" that discourage people from having abortions.

Because, it's all about a woman's right to make a free, fully-informed choice.

As long as it's the choice They insist upon.

Google = evil.

I want to get rid of Android now. Does this mean I have to find a Windows phone? (Don't say Apple. I didn't go Apple in 1979, and I'm not about to start now.)

Gabe!

Superfriends who run planet get panties in bunch because world might hear what dumb fkcus they are.

Polls show that 53% of Americans (for certain values of "American") would rather have a box of rocks for President than any Democrat or Republican they know of. The other 47% would vote for their crack dealers.

Another day in the Idiobamacracy.

Goooooood morning, Glories! Late, but the pets are already fed, so, I'm all yours., for a few minutes.

Look closely at this poster. Blow the larger version up to full-screen. Drink it in.

This is the face of our next President. The one who will heal ObamaCare with HillaryCare. You want her. You need her. You must have her for your President!

and

Joe Biden is happy to continue as VP for eight more years, so I understand. He's been doing such a great job, I say, let's let him.

Peaches - We don't build well, is the sad thing. Big bad wolf blows down our houses of sticks and straw every time. And brick and stone.

The image of how not to live in 'nader country is the slicked-off foundation slab with a few pipes sticking out of it. See it every year. Every year!

Always amazing to see how earthquake, mudslide, flood, or wind, all our stuff is reduced to rubbish. Wet, muddy, or dry, just the same, flattened, stick-strewn field of homogenized debris.

Always beautiful to see the rescue and aide efforts in this country, folks so readily volunteer. Wish they didn't have to so often.

Guy in the I won't man up poster needs to man up. The tail that line will get you aren't the tail you are looking for, professor. What a wuss. But I'm sure that's been said.

Speaking of Gender Appropriate, that's a great, great WW pic. Must be from the early WWII season of the series, 'cause that's when Guns were Okay because Evil Nazis.

((Blows in without reading anything))

Just watched some tornado footage, thought I'd share.

Early Sunday, we got a sudden but brief blast of, guessing, 40-50mph winds amidst mild storm.

Later in the afternoon, driving East, we could see that what had blown over us had rolled up over Arkansas and Missouri. Giant thunderheads. Always time to pray for our neighbors to the East. And yes, it was deadly.

This is some of the most amazing tornado footage I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot. There were moments I thought, it's dying out, or, I'll skip ahead, but watched the whole thing. Real time monster movie.

Forgive the enthusiasm of the folks filming. First, they're Italian or something. Second, adreneline. Third, it is some damn good footage, and I don't think they're unaware it involves a body count and massive tragedy. But, damn! It's like you got better shots of Godzilla than those in the film.

Around here we call this Spring.
