ACLJ: “Can states give military voters extra time”

Link = excerpt:  

The question of the case is quite simple: If a state extends
additional voting privileges to members of the military, must it extend
those same privileges to every other American?  The answer generally
depends on whether other voters are “similarly situated” to service
members and their families.  

Clearly, they are not.  Do civilian Ohioans have to pack up and go
where the Department of Defense tells them to go?  Do they have
temporary duty assignments in service of their country?  Are they faced
with the family dislocations and disruptions created by the demands of
service, including preparation for and recovery from deployment?

White Democrats in Congress from Missouri No More

 Politico.

“I]f you think you are going to take out an African-American congressman and replace him with a Caucasian and that won’t impact the Democratic Party, then something is wrong with your understanding of this. Do you think you can insult the most loyal base of the Democratic Party and not have an impact? It will destroy this party statewide.”

Post-racial?

“Palestinian Murderers, Israeli Athletes and an American Gymnast”


A non election related PJ Tatler post.

“The International Olympic Committee has refused to memorialize the murder of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Olympics in Munich. The reason isn’t hard to guess. The images of discord, where athletes from muslim countries either leave the field, or where officials from Islamic nations bluster at the inappropriateness of such a tribute, would be shameful and disgusting to sane people around the world. Such evil and inhumanity is best kept under wraps if you want to pretend it doesn’t exist.


In some parts of the world, murder remains as fashionable as it was in parts of Germany in 1943.


Enter one gold medal winning American gymnast – Aly Raisman.”
