I saw an encouraging number of "Vote No" on the marriage amendment signs in Rochester, MN today.  Of course, signs can't vote and all that; but it was interesting to see practically entire blocks with those signs.  Rochester isn't some hot bed of liberalism either; it used to be one of the most solidly Republican parts of the state...but these were moderate Rs, big on compromise, social liberties, and not averse to tax increases.

As the GOP jumped off the precipice of insanity, the more moderate members of the party have been kicked out (former Gov. Arne Carlson is most notable), southeast Minnesota has become swing territory moving towards Ds.  Hell, I checked, the last time Olmsted County (Rochester's home county) voted Democratic before going for Obama in 2008 was 1964 during LBJ's landslide.

The marriage amendment may help the GOP in some of the more blue collar Democratic areas (Northwest, Northeast), but in areas such as Rochester (and the wealthy suburbs) it will hurt them.

High school student shot in the head while handcuffed in patrol car after being searched twice, cops claim it was suicide.

The fucking cops aren't even trying to make plausible covers for their murders anymore.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Good news for Michiganders.

Apparently there will be an option on the November ballot to repeal the authoritarian Emergency Managers Law.

I guess some guy on Fox News actually had something negative to say about Chic Fil A.  But I guess this guy is already pretty well know for being very liberal.

Jesus Christ in a chicken sandwich, WHY did I start reading the comments section?? D:

And "very liberal" is a relative term here. He doesn't hate gays, and he thinks maybe torture is going too far. This apparently put him on the far left wing of things at FOX. It's not like he's calling for collectivization and free love communes.
