Some call it “caging.” Others label it “voter suppression.” The ACLU says 30 states since 2008 have introduced laws making it harder to cast a ballot. “In fact, while documented instances of voter fraud are almost nonexistent—nationally, the Department of Justice found just 26 cases over a three-year period—up to 5 million potential voters may be kept from the ballot box by these laws,” the ACLU said in a recent newsletter. Now Sacramento is weighing in. The state Senate on Monday approved Senate Joint Resolution 29, calling for a federal investigation into voter-ID laws and similar Republican-led efforts. Does voter suppression exist?

Aunt Judy was probably a very lonely person and turned to comfort in a bottle. What a darn shame.

And you know what ladies, if you don't like Batman's way you don't have to do it Batman's way. This…Read More is America, not Batmerica, and it's not Flanderstan either.
My grandmother's sister decided to become a career woman instead of geting married and having a family. She started and ran a very successful accounting business, back in the 1930s! So who needs Flanders and his women's lib? There's nothing standing in your way, there never has been. Flanders and the rest are lying to you.
Aunt Judy did become an alcoholic though and died rather young because of it. Would that have been different if she had been a family woman? Nobody knows.
