All the news..

Sometimes even the venerable New York Times gets it wrong.

In a n article today about Democratic Party drives to register people in Louisiana to vote the Times may have pandered just a bit...

I quote my letter to the editorial board..

In your article about Democratic efforts to registrar voters in Louisiana you back handedly refer to Acorn as a "left -wing national organizing group".

Regardless of political affiliation, any group, organization or, for that matter bridge club, that contributes to the number of eligible people to vote can only have a positive and realistic outcome any popular vote.

Actually , having only having a passing acquaintance with Acorn, I looked in at their site and found all this 'left-wing" propaganda..


Affordable Housing
Better Schools
Fair Housing
Gulf Coast Recovery
Health Care

and of particular importance to those of us with out monetary resources..

Living Wage
Paid Sick Days
Predatory Lending

Yes, obliviously there is much here to be concerned about.


Check out Acorn yourself.

I just joined.

juice, gotta get the juice...




This image shows a breakdown by county in the Continental USA of gas prices,
it must be free in Alaska and more expensive than Dom Perignon in Hawaii.

I live in Texas, where we produce a lot of oil both inland and offshore...

so our prices stand to reason, we own y'all.

and there are only 12 or so people in Mississippi and South Carolina all told with 'lectricity...

and ya know Cheney is gonna make sure Wyoming gets their fix..

But...

where the hell is Missouri and Arizona getting it.

I understand California has to pay more, but why more in NoCal than L.A?

it's a mystery..
