DOGS, REVIEWED!
I wrote, years ago about this dog I found at the rescue prison

http://dagblog.com/arts/dogs-12087
I told you all that I loved that dog.
I had a visit (like I do four times a year) with my son and I recalled an incident involving this pup.Haahahahah
I would come home and Erin would run to me, OH DADDY! [Read more]
DIAPERS FOR 15TH AMENDMENT PURPOSES
DO NOT THROW ASPERSIONS ON MY ASPARAGUS! [Read more]
During the 2012 presidential election, voters reportedly waited on line for upwards of six hours. That wait alone is enough to deter would-be voters from going to the polls. But now residents in Florida’s most populous county will have another disincentive: they won’t be able to go to the bathroom.
Earlier this year, the Miami-Dade County Elections Department quietly implemented a policy to close the bathrooms at all polling facilities, according to disability rights lawyer Marc Dubin. Dubin said the policy change was in “direct response” to an inquiry to the Elections Department about whether they had assessed accessibility of polling place bathrooms to those with disabilities.
RACHEL MADDOW AND WISCONSIN BILL KRAMER
I watch Rachel every night. Maybe I hit five minutes, maybe I hit thirty minutes. It depends upon my mood or how interested I am in the subject matter or maybe I am enrapt in some drama on the tellie. Anyway, I get two other shots at her program after first air.
Tonight, I was enthralled.
The Majority Leader in the Wisconsin Senate, has been formally charged with heinous crimes against women.
There appears to be no allegations of murder or rape but this guy has been hitting women, grabbing women's nether parts, attacking women verbally, threatening women.... [Read more]
CONSENSUS
ANTHROPOLOGY
I recall in the late 1960's that Anthropology professors discussed the problem involved in 'aging' the primates in this NEW WORLD.
Well the 'consensus' was that 13,000 years ago, Homo Sapiens crept into our New World via the Siberian whatever....
The latest ice age gave a land cross from Siberia to the Americas (read Canada) and from that land cross, people from the East found a new home. [Read more]
WHEN I'M 64
I was thinking about the question “why”?
My granddaughter is about to be two years of age in a couple of months and in a couple of months I shall be 64.
WHEN I'M 64!
So I have constructed a scenario where I might read to her from Homer or whatever without pix and without media!
And she will not sit on my lap!
Why do you like me?
Well I have many reasons why I like you, but today I will give you five reasons why I like you!
Five.
Do you know five? [Read more]

STANDING
In the law we find the principle of 'standing'.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standing_%28law%29
I cannot find my Black's Law Dictionary right now but Wiki will do.
In the law, if my memory serves me, the term standing relates to the issue of whether or not someone has a right to bring suit against an alleged tortfeasor.
I checked some silly on-line dictionaries and I am not impressed with the results of that search. [Read more]

U.S. moves toward shorter sentences for drug crimes
This didn't get much traction in the news a couple of weeks ago but is part of what AG Holder has been working on to reduce the prison population. This is expected to reduce the population by about 6500 in the first 5 years. They are still constrained by mandatory 5 years sentences. This just shows how a unified effort is behind this. I am sure Harry Reed will not bring it up to a vote.
The U.S. Sentencing Commission voted Thursday to reduce sentencing guidelines that could shorten prison stays for about 70% of federal drug trafficking defendants, backing a proposal supported by...

GOP Senate Candidate: Democratic Debate Is Socialism

Jet Blue Pilots Overwhelming Vote to Join Union
Not too much bigger news than what we learned today, that the pilots at Jet Blue overwhelmingly voted to be represented by ALPA, the Air Line Pilots Association, International (which represents 50,000 pilots in the U.S. and Canada.
Now Jet Blue is one of those airlines that is supposed to be better and cheaper -- and some have suggested or explicitly opined that the airline's success is due to the lack of unions in the company. It is an airline whose pilots don't need unions because life is good. . .yadda yadda.
Reason for joy in Mudville today!
[This was edited to delete a personal aside, having nothing to do with the joy in Mudville. By the way, reading this back I'm not satisfied with what I wrote because I don't mean to...

Sotomayor on Roberts -- Out of Touch with Reality on Race
Good for Justice Sotomayor, taking on Chief Justice Roberts and his views on race, and how he meshes that with constitutional jurisprudence. In short, in her dissent to the Michigan affirmative action decision written by Justice Scalia, Sotomayor reminds the world that Roberts in a 2007 decision expressed the street corner view that so-called "reverse" racism is worse than the racism that continues to create a permanent underclass of African Americans.
CJ Roberts is the right target -- Scalia is old and immovable, Thomas is younger but equally immovable, but Roberts is that ever-dangerous fist in the velvet glove. He is the man who, I still say contrary to many of my progressive colleagues, threatens to eliminate the entire constitutional...

An abbreviated look at rancher Cliven Bundy's family...
The resent standoff with BLM at Bunkervile, Nev. Cliven Bundy claims to have grazing rights on public land based on his family settling there in the 1870's. Land records and court records show that this is not true.
Bundy repeated a similar claim Thursday when he told TheBlaze website: “My family has preemptive, adjudicated livestock water rights filed with the state of Nevada. They were established in 1877 when the first pioneers entered the valley. Among those first pioneers were my grandparents from my mother’s side. My father either bought or inherited his Nevada state livestock water...
