The Legel Report

That cornstarch DVD burner and I went another round again last night and I lost. I’m going to Staples this morning to buy another one. I’ll show that ornery thing!

Tracey is leaving us today. She will be going up north near Chicago to stay ... for a couple days. She should be home late Thursday after “meetings”. I swear this bunch she works for is the meetingest I ever did see. They’ll have a meeting at the drop of a hat and even have a meeting to see who gets to drop it next. Hopefully she will get a nice room with a comfy pillow and they feed her something besides rubber chicken. Although if she has a bad time she will be all the happier to get home!

Between the Hilarity campaign and the right wing GOP the email propaganda about Obama being a Muslim continues to make its way from home to home. I try to correct people who I know but it is just one of those crazy things about our society. Some people will believe a nameless origin for gossip over the truth. Barack Obama is NOT a Muslim. You would think that would have been sufficiently explained and proved by now but I guess those who oppose him will use anything to try to slander him. There are plenty of real reasons (like his lack of immigration sense) to oppose him. We don’t need to make any up.

The following article is one in a long list of other ways to shape an election. Don’t let people vote. You can do that by having only one place to vote in the entire county and then have only one voting booth. Odd how that works to restrict those areas that are usually not GOP supporters. Then they can crow about “low voter turnout”. That’s a real twofer isn’t it. Keep you from voting and then blame you for it?

I just re-read what I wrote about the Obama / Muslim thing and thought I better add that I do NOT blame those who send the emails on to others ... but those who ORIGINATE them without checking to make sure they are authentic. I have been guilty of passing on bad information myself. I try to check it out first but it seems I get caught up in email gossip too and pass on something that is wrong. So don’t get mad at me! I’m just trying to rectify this one falsehood about Obama and not point a finger at anybody!
