Speaking of PinkDome, they have a new slogan for the Bell campaign which will win the election.
Speaking of McBlogger, well, you just have to go see it. It's also headlines like this one the Houston Chron which are why Todd Staples will be defeated by Hank Gilbert in November.
Update: So I found a way to break this site by doing nothing more than post a headline that was way too long (without any breaks in it). That made the leftyblogs wire on the bottom left column jump out which is distorting the page. I've fixed the headline so hopefully that will update in the feed soon enough.
My apologies to any other bloggers' website designs I may have broken as well. (Just know that now I can retaliate against all of you should you attack BOR, bwhahaha!)

In a move that is so stupid it has to include Texas GOP lawmakers, the vote on renewing the Voting Rights Act was put on hold Wednesday. The Voting Rights Act, a landmark piece of legislation that helped outlaw literacy tests, provided for federal registration of voters in areas that had less than 50% of eligible minority voters registered, and also provided for Department of Justince oversight to registration, and the Department's approval for any change in voting law in districts whose populations were at least 5% Black.
According to the Houston Chronicle, " A bill to extend the law for 25 years has support from the White House, top legislative leaders of both parties and a key, GOP-controlled committee that passed it 33 to 1." So let's get this straight. The bill has bipartisan support and received almost no friction in the committee. The legislation simply renews a bill which was passed 25 years ago and is now thought of in such a reverant light that is had resolutions commending the anniversary.
So how did this all go so wrong? In walk the Republican Congressmen from Texas. "I don't think we have racial bias in Texas anymore," said Rep. John Carter, R-Round Rock.
