You can't tell it's racist until you mention voting rights... So for the 61st anniversary of Rosa Parks's arrest, here's a bit of news to help remind us of what happens when wingnuts in power start thinking they can pass any crazy laws they want: Tuesday, a federal court ruled that North Carolina's legislative districts are so obscenely gerrymandered on racial grounds that not only must 28 of the state's district maps be redrawn, the state will also have to
If it's the crossbody straps you like, you might be able to just buy a steampunk type strap and attach it to your regular purse. I include a link because I'm supposed to be working. https://www.amazon.com/Leat...
Well, a couple of things:(1) After Jan. 21, assuming the ghastly inauguration takes place, OBAMA WILL BE FREED from being President, and he's already made it pretty clear he intends to, basically, lead the opposition. He's pretty charismatic, and kind of has experience as a community organizer, and I'm kind of hopeful about that. Biden will be very present as well, and frankly our Hillz may even feel loyal to the millions and millions of us who are trying to save our country. I think we really do have to take this into account.
(2) Here in California, we, who have given the world the iPhone, Microsoft, the source code for their internet, their internet content, websites, movies/TV, and video games, as well as most of the country's fruit and vegetables, have the 6th largest GDP in the world. We're ranked with countries, right there between France and Britain, not with other states. We have 40 million people.
And WE have gotten rid of our puling, disgusting Republicans and actually have a fully functioning state, with a booming economy, infrastructure, and have the sense, and the ability, to do things like raise taxes to address a common need, and value the power and contributions of our immigrants, including the undocumented ones.
We're also paying for all these backwoods assholes to vote Racist Demented Grandpa in charge of everyone, and we're pretty damn sick of it. Oregon and Washington kind of feel the same way. There's always the possibility that the three of us break off and say fuck you--one of the concerns, of course, is the failed states right next door, but presumably Mexico and Canada could suction them up and get them out of our hair. ANYWAY, you're all welcome to join. We'll take you all out to dinner at our myriad, delicious taco trucks!
We've been looking at Costa Rica because it's in better shape than Puerto Rico and the plan is to be there in a year's time. The reality is, though, that we don't need no paperwork to go to PR--we do for CR. We'll see.
Considering that we fought a horrible war to prevent that 150 years ago, I'm not sure breaking the country up will occur. The folks with the money have too much to lose.
I don't agree. I know lots of people who do not have a partisan bias. We are called "Independents." The problem is getting such people to volunteer to serve on the committee.
There's no longer any institutional integrity anyway, that was proven by this election. I hope Pres. Obama does the recess appointment and let 'em scream. I frankly have no fucks left to give in the 'integrity' department. Let's grab all the power we can in the time we have left.
After the inauguration, we will not longer be living in a democracy anyway. And I'm gonna keep screaming that as long and as loud as I have to.
DO IT BARACK!! DO IT!
That is hilarious! I now find myself saying to Mr. Catcafe "So, you're looking at the Subaru crosshatch!"

The gerrymandered NC district does look a little cthulhuesque, fwiw. http://images.dailykos.com/...

A "Charlotte Steamer?"
Do you have any Kahlua?
An old British Sten gun has a steampunk look but it's a bit large to stuff in a bag.
