Policer Officers Violate Woman’s Rights
This is disgusting, even sickening. In this video policers pull over a woman whom they admit has violated no laws or ordinances and demand she state her name and present her papers.

Republicans won’t win if they’re this boring
Any idea why?
There’s been a lot of talk about The Democratic Debate in South Carolina [transcript] and the advantage John Edwards may have as a result of the spat between Clinton and Obama. Are you kidding? The opposite is true. Continue Reading »
