BREAKING NEWS: Lawmakers Must Abide Laws!!!
Andy Dwyer had a dream. A dream of becoming a Florida lawmaker.
Florida election
...24-year-old Dwyer also has a federal felony conviction that prevents him from registering to vote. A candidate for office in Florida must be a registered voter.
Okaloosa County Supervisor of Elections Pat Hollarn notified Dwyer in mid-February 2007 that he was being removed from the voter registration rolls. He had pre-filed the same month with the state Division of Elections in Tallahassee to seek the District 5 seat now held by Rep. Don Brown, R-DeFuniak Springs.
What caused this atrocity against mankind?
An Aug. 16, 2005, federal indictment stated that on three occasions in 2005, Dwyer “pretended to be” a contract employee of the Federal Aviation Administration and used that status to fly free on commercial jets out of Okaloosa Regional Airport.
Well, surely the county GOP knew about this, right?
Craig Otto, chairman of Okaloosa County’s Republican Executive Committee, gave Dwyer $150 early in his campaign. He said that as a former candidate himself, he understood the difficulties of raising money.
Otto said he hasn’t gotten his money back from Dwyer yet.
“I didn’t even know he was a felon,” he said.
Fuck frequent flier miles. Vote Dwyer.

The Wire
Hey, remember back in 2004 when everyone was talking about W being wired at a debate?
Well at last night's GOP debate in Boca, there's a clip of Mittens where you can hear "raise taxes" whispered right before he answers the question.
Wierd.

Unpresidential
Here's a clip from a heated exchange between Ametuer Gynecologist Bill Clinton and a CNN reporter:
Michelle Speaks Out
It's nice to see both Obamas standing up to Billary:
"The one thing that is clear is that when power is confronted with real change, they will say anything," she said.
...She described his decision after college to do community work instead of going to Wall Street to "make millions," then his decision after Harvard Law School to take on civil rights work and the state legislature. She said his books are the only reason they recently got out of debt.
"It would seem to me that before anyone would open their mouth to even claim to want to be president of the United States they would have to show that kind of commitment to regular folks," she said.
Get 'em.

Shocking Video of Pet Abuse
I'm no animal nut, but watching the following video turns my stomache:
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is asking shoppers to boycott PetSmart after the advocacy group released undercover video of pets to be sold there apparently being abused.
An employee took video that shows a rabbit being neutered, with a dull razor and no anesthesia. The animal kicks its legs in pain.

W Turns Emo Over Heath
Bushie was gonna give an important speech on the dangers of prescrition drug abuse, but in light of the Heath saga, he's giving teh gayz a couple of days to sort things out:
White House press secretary Dana Perino said Bush's event had been scheduled for a while.
"We thought it would be better to postpone the event rather than run the risk of anyone thinking that we were being opportunistic in highlighting the issue," she said.
I really expected something more along the lines of this:
Huh.

Life is Not Fair
Heath Ledger dead, but Chris Crocker alive and doing this????????????????????
Dearest Jeebus:
We've all heard you work in mysterious ways, but this is a little much.
Put your thing down, flip it and reverse it.
Thanks,

Bring on The Rapture
Funny stuff:
I do wish the Lord would get his jesters assembled and move on this. Think what the Rapture will mean to those of us left behind.
Twenty-three percent of the 208 million adults in America identify themselves as either Pentecostal or Charismatic Christians [a.k.a. Rapture-ready]. In the event of the Rapture up to 50 million workers will be leaving their jobs without clocking out. The number of positions vacated will be five times as many needed to wipe out the country’s unemployment, leaving the rest of us in a workers’ paradise. Affirmative action be damned! It’s “trickle up” economics at work here.

Why Am I Getting Madder?
Remeber this?
Those words are really starting to sink in. Almost 2 weeks later, I'm still getting angrier.
I like Sully's take here and here:
At least now we know what this race is about: Obama versus the Clintons. Both of them. Their dynasty. Their power. Their methods. Their character. And so the question becomes: does America really want a Restoration? And if Hillary is this beholden to Bill in the campaign, what will his role be in the White House? I've long hoped he'd be given a clear job, accountable to the president and the public. But that isn't their style. When you re-elect royal families, you get their family dynamics as well. What we're seeing now is a small glimpse of what we would be dealing with for at least four years.
and
What we are witnessing is the corruption of nepotism and the abuse of a former office for the pursuit of dynastic power. Anyone who has ever followed the Clintons knows how unscrupulous they are. But even I didn't expect a former president to be as tacky as this. You want this kind of character back in the White House? You want another dynasty, defending itself and attacking others in the same party? You know what to do.
I never expected this either. But I should have. We all should have.

Awkward!!!
Mittens was in JAX and decided that today was a good day to start pandering to black folk. So, how does a Republican Space Christian gain street cred? By quoting shitty songs and slang:
He jumped off the Mitt Mobile to greet a waiting crowd, took a picture with some kids and young adults and awkwardly quipped, ”Who let the dogs out? Who who.”
He took pictures with many in the crowd and greeted one baby wearing a necklace saying, “Hey buddy! How’s it going? What’s happening? You got some bling bling here!”
Way to blend in, Narc.

I Miss My Former Mayor
photo via faithandthecity.org
I've always loved Shirley Franklin. Sure, you can find her negatives, but overall (especially considering the old Atlanta guard she came from) she's proven to be an effective leader.
I still have fond memories of her first campaign, when she came in to my store in Midtown and posed for pictures and even gave up a hug. Shirley also used to have impromptu marches down the streets of ATL, the best while traveling down Ponce on a flatbed with a hype man screaming over a loudspeaker "It's Shirley Franklin time. It's Shirley Franklin time."
Anywho, at today's MLK celebration at Ebenezer, Shirley took a shot at Bill Clinton, who was seated only 20 feet away from her:
Franklin said the country is on the "cusp of turning the impossible into reality. Yes, this is reality, not fantasy or fairy tales."
This was a direct reference to Bill, who invoked "fairy tale" to describe Barry's campaign.
Ha.

Boondocks on MLK
One of my favorites. I find this pretty fitting, seeings how BET is showing only about 2.5 hours of MLK related content today. Most of the day is taken up with Keyshia Cole programs and Hell Date. Hmm.
