quote [ Organizers are eyeing 2011 and 2012 elections as opportunities to put initiatives on the ballot that would overturn some of the measures passed by GOP legislatures and governors. The first three states likely to see fights are Ohio, Idaho and Maine. ]
Progressives in Idaho, I'm surprised and I live here.
repoast fix, also please excuse the Huffington Post article, I try to link more widely accepted, less sensational news sources when I post about politics but this is a great round-up of many different stories

I think that's pretty accurate actually, and amazing that there's such a thing as an infrared spectrometer that can determine chemical composition without having to destroy the sample. I bet they forgot to program it with a profile for human skin composition, so it guessed the closest thing in it's database. |

I hope such a thing works out, but that's a long hard road. Taking money out of politics is like teaching a puppy not to eat cat shit. Eating cat shit is its own reward - even if punishment follows, the reward was already consumed. The only response is to a) get rid of dog, b) get rid of cat, c) place impassable (to the dog, at least) barrier between dog and cat shit repository. But expecting the dog to help you in implementing any of the solutions....LOL. |

I don't expect this to get through either house of congress, for the very reasons you point out. But with that said if it gets enough grass root support, say, two million signatures that will force some sort of reform and it this point any is better than none. This is one of those things that I will never see in my lifetime, but will do as much as i can for as long as I live to change. reason being, in this case MONEY is indeed the root of all evil. |

I spent a month in Boise this past summer it was a very strange experience. It's a very liberal city, perhaps thanks to BSU, but I kept seeing advertisements for normal everyday services with a christian twist. Christian day care, christian lawn management, christian gun polishing. |

Houston is similar. You can't swing a dead armadillo without hitting a "Christian Psychic." Some of the yellow pages ads read like Chick tracts, with fine print that says something like "AAA Air Conditioning Repair," right next to a Jesus fish. |

Here in Portland we have ads for a Christian singles dating site. Dunno if they show up elsewhere too, but I always wonder if there's some good way my Jewish self can mess with em. |

Brigham Young University has a campus in Boise, doesn't it? Being a Mormon college, that might have something to do with it. |

Found a clip that explains Rick Perry in a NUT shell. Rick Perry explains the cause of the bad economy: it’s a lesson from God |

Right now he is ahead in the polls. The national survey showed Perry leading Romney by a double-digit margin—29% to 17%. It also found that Michele Bachmann got no significant bounce from her victory in an Iowa straw poll, But remember it wasn't that long ago it was "The Donald" who was ahead. http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-pn-perry-poll-20110824,0,7837911.story |
