Voter Registration by The Hot Blog

Whomever you support, you should vote if you are eligible to do so. The Obama campaign sent a URL that I found very helpful. It can get you registered, but even if you have registered, it allows you to check whether you are still properly registered....

Blind people protesting Blindness . Oy. Blindness is a metaphor in the movie... as it has been forever. The idea that sighted people in their 20s, 30s and older suddenly becoming blind, surrounded by others who are suddenly blind, would not be disoriented...

Self-Loathing Dema, Part II by The Hot Blog

I was struck by Nora Ephron's "McCain Won The Debate Because Obama Didn't Slap Him Hard Enough" piece on Huffington Post. She was hardly alone. But what a bunch of whinny, self-destructive babies we on the left have become. We are so...
