Klein also wrote an odd book about Obama conspiracy theories a few years ago.

Which is why I'm not inclined to buy that Bill story.

[King of Mars]

Hmmm.

Hmmm.

Damned elitists and their educated brains!!

Also, the second map left out New Hanover county (the darker green in the southeastern part of the state), which also voted against.

I also could have sworn that Guilford County ended up against as well, but I could be well wrong on that.

Yeah, they don't need to be regulated at all.

The best part:

(MoneyWatch) A "flawed, complex, poorly reviewed, poorly executed and poorly monitored" derivatives trading strategy has cost JPMorgan Chase (JPM) $2 billion in the past six weeks and the bank could face an additional $1 billion of losses in the second-quarter, according to CEO Jamie Dimon.

When the CEO himself admits that they suck at self-monitoring...

[BriRedfern]

Hmmm.

That is pretty awesome.

Once again - it goes beyond just that. It's about the error in people making a statement claiming a group (in this case, based solely on skin color) voting the same way, as if they are a collective. Calling it "the black vote." Hence, the gripe I'm raising.

Seems like a semantics issue with you, while ignoring the actual ideas. whatever.

Former New York State Senator Pedro Espada accuses prosecutors of using black magic against him.

Ex-state Sen. Pedro Espada Jr. dramatically donned rosary beads at his embezzlement trial yesterday — as he accused prosecutors and an FBI agent of using the occult to affect the jury’s deliberations.

“We’re in the homestretch, and so we’re pulling it [the rosary] out because we know that the prosecutors are sitting in a certain seating arrangement that I recognize as being a certain ritual,” Espada bizarrely told reporters after placing the religious beads around his neck in front of Brooklyn federal court.

Before his lost the Democratic primary 32.66% to 62.21%, Espada was the State Senate Majority Leader, part of a notoriously shady deal after he briefly gave Republicans control of the State Senate by switching his allegiance to the party for a month.

Remember the five-page debate over what "science fiction" meant? Yeah, good times.
