In a story ignored by the national media, in April a Tunica County, Miss., jury convicted NAACP official Lessadolla Sowers on 10 counts of fraudulently casting absentee ballots. Sowers is identified on an NAACP website as a member of the Tunica County NAACP
Executive Committee.
It was a clear case of discrimination, as only 4 of the 10 fraudulent ballots were from dead people.

I think I killed the last thread...
That's normally my job, thanks for the relief. Commentin's hard work normally requiring a laser-sharp focus on the issues, fingers of fire and copious amounts of Guinness, which, at this early hour, I haven't yet started to drink, work being the curse of the drinking man and all.

I think it's too hot to brave the course at AAFB this week, he must be working on the indoor green this week. And it must be located in the WH next to the microphones since we've been treated to TOTUS twice this week and we've go two days to go -- Didn't he threaten to make a statement today after the markets close? Thrice in a week! Kill me now.

It's not the first time, nor is she the first one to cast that mantra for affect.
But of course, self interests owning corruption would do all to prevent rocking that rotten boat, and have every reason to pirate and confiscate more and all for their own authoritarian perpetuation of "Life As We Know It".

Oh, I don't know, he'd probably waste less of our tax dollars if he's putting than if he's in the Oval Office presidentin'. Besides, Congress seems to be able to waste far too much money without King Putt's help.

I am old enough to remember when that Nixon statement was greeted with mocking. Now Obama expects us to believe it.
If we ever go through this again, I want all negotiations on TV. I want to know what is being traded. And I want the entire country to see what a horse's ass and total incompetent Obama is.

Miss M, open deliberations via TV would expose these lying rat bastards for who they really are, they would preen before the cameras like the media whores they are as well, and expect us to applaud them for their behavior.
My alternative is to require simultaneous on-line transcripts of all Congressional meetings/hearings to be published on BS.gov. If the UN can translate languages contemporaneously, we should be able to transcript English as well, although several of our finest elite are barely comprehensible when they are sober. That way we get a written record without the histrionics. This will never happen, because they have learned the old Kenyan Obuma doctrine of "Disappear the paper trail!"
To say that I loath all establishment politicians is an understatement.

Are those atheists so feeble minded that they think looking at a cross will turn them Christian? And did they file suit against PA over the fact that they're memorial incorporates the Islamic crescent?

Annualized, I'm sure.
Certainly annualized. Which means we grew a little over .3% over the quarter. They guess assert. Except, as you may have noticed, every single economic data point released in the last 3 years gets revised downward on further review. So two months from now (when no one's paying any attention) it'll be damn near 0 if not negative.
Just remember, if the market tanks today, it's totally all the Tea Party's fault.

Selectivity. Politicians never apply the law equally, given social justice in charge and political vendettas to accomplish. Not even the Republican Party will tackle illegal aliens, particularly those from Mexico.
The Virginia university being targeted is independent by nature, not being accredited, reason enough to attract trouble from the establishment for homogeneity.
Target the foreign exchange students from India to stir that region's political pot. Strong arm India for whatever reason, whether to do a favor for China or to alleviate combustive anti-American pressure mounting in Pakistan.
As with the potus mandate for NASA's mission to outreach Muslims, don't be surprised when his highness' administration stipulates that schools must enroll as many listed by quotas, whether Pakistanis as Indians, or as many Muslims as Hindi, or as many Mexicans as Americans.

I'd say the sonofabitch has indeed succeeded at fundamentally reshaping this nation. Ruination was/is his goal and he's not making any mistakes along the way
We keep applying normal, usual, logical assertions to his narcissism: 2012 re-election, his social network, etc... which allows us to completely forget that he told us EXACTLY what he intended to do. The problem was/is, that that kind of thought doesn't find an evil-neuron in our brains upon which to attach itself and so that bit of knowledge just drifts around, waiting to take hold, until we find ourselves saying...
THE BASTARD IS DESTROYING US!

The U.S. economy grew less than forecast in the second quarter, after almost coming to a halt at the start of the year, as consumers retrenched.
Gross domestic product rose at a 1.3 percent annual rate following a 0.4 percent gain in the prior quarter that was less than previously estimated, Commerce Department figures showed today in Washington. The median forecast of economists surveyed by Bloomberg News called for a 1.8 percent increase.
The road, the bumps, the slurpee, the headwinds....
“The economy is stuck in a very slow-growth scenario,” said Julia Coronado, chief economist for North America at BNP Paribas in New York.
Slow growth? The number one qualification to be an economist must be stupidity

Merck & Co., the second-largest U.S. drugmaker, plans to eliminate an additional 12,000 to 13,000 jobs by 2015, expanding a restructuring program to save as much as $4.6 billion a year.
As much as 14 percent of the companyÂ’s 91,000 employees will lose their jobs, based on the size of the workforce at the end of last month.

BBC: Ewok actor flashed girl on train
An actor who appeared as an ewok in Return of the Jedi and a goblin in a Harry Potter film has been given a 20-week suspended sentence for indecently exposing himself on a train.
Nicholas Read, 40, of Wade Close, Stoke-on-Trent, was found guilty of performing a sex act under cover of a juggler's hat in October 2010. A 17-year-old girl told Leicester Crown Court how she felt "trapped" sat next to Wade on a London to Leicester train.
The court heard how Read had previous convictions for making explicit phone calls to "random" women from a hotel room.
Read was ordered to pay £500 towards the cost of his prosecution and be supervised by the Probation Service.

Those are my only choices? Get many of those commenting here do you?
Ah I see, no one can comment without them having negative and/or ulterior motives?
Why does it bother you so much?
Weaselly? How has what I said been weaselly? Only if one assumes, with absolutely NO EVIDENCE, that I'm a campaign staffer or an operative.
Then there's mealy mouthed. I said right out what I meant and why. And if you paid any attention (yeah, yeah you've got SOOOO many things taking up your time) you would notice that my first comments were mild and curious and that I saw and appreciated the subtle dig you were making. Like I said it just bothered me to see a picture of one person labeled as being another person.
And not with a jokey picture either. Plus you kept doing it. And didn't acknowledge somewhere who it really was. And it was amusing - at first. Then it got old real, real fast. Maybe it comes from seeing so many supposed PROFESSIONALS do that BY MISTAKE/STUPIDITY that I was bugged it was being done here. Then I realized hey; it's AOSHQ where anything is game and no joke gets old. Except it seems that criticizing is a no no. Now I'm p!ssed because you decide to make accusations about my motivations.
What's weaselly in my opinion and mealy mouthed is to leave an unfounded accusation 5 hours after I posted my comment in the middle of the morning and the thread was presumably dead. (I came back to make a comment about the CPAC brew hah hah but apparently no one has bothered to add a headline comment thread lately.)
I also responded to this same accusation that I was a campaign staffer in another thread. I was going to just let it go (except for a probably too subtle for you dig by linking some pictures and claiming you were in it somewhere. Did you get it? Or are you too dense?)
Getting under your skin am I? Don't like anyone being critical, do you?
Who's being mealy mouthed and weaselly now?
You're in the wrong place to be so oversensitive, quick tempered, making assumptions without facts and making accusations on those assumptions. Besides which; why do you care what I think?
You're making a internet rookie's mistake; taking things personally and hearing tone of voice from WORDS.
I don't believe I said anything negative about YOU personally. If it seemed that way to you, that's to be regretted but was never meant.
YOU on the other hand HAVE made unfounded statements about MY character and should either retract them or support them or let it lie.
