It's primary day! 5 states are voting for a Republican nominee.
Gingrich's campaign may depend on how he does in Delaware today.
As Virginia debates Voter I.D., a report finds zero cases of the kind of voter fraud the law addresses.
The financial forecast for Social Security is a little grimmer than it was last year.
The Senate votes on proposals to reform the U.S. Postal Service today. (Useful anti-union context from Matt Taibbi here).
James Cameron and other rich guys are about to announce a big space venture (maybe to mine unobtainium?).
Today's Google doodle is pretty neat:

You have a story about voter and found Zero results...Sorry.. but you were looking in the wrong state http://www.dailypaul.com/227268/romney-under-felony-investigation-for-voter-fraud
There is not enough voter fraud anywhere to prevent those without picture ID's or passports from voting. Republicans just want to eliminate the likely democrat classes to vote.
Unobtanium was the single biggest cop-out of a movie-object-name I've ever come across. A budget of hundreds of millions of dollars and they name the element Unobtanium? I felt cheated with that alone.
Also? Voter fraud makes me mad because it's used as an excuse to expand the already horrible voter disenfranchisement that exists.
I liked "unobtanium"! It felt like a good meta joke.
Be thankful they didn't use maguffinium.

Nonsense! While this study may report zero cases of the kinds of voter fraud the bill's authors say is the reason for the law; everyone knows that it addresses the real concern of voting while democrat.
Exactly! We got one of these idiot bills forced upon us last year by our State Assembly but vetoed by our Democratic Governor, Beverly Perdue. The Assembly couldn't quite assemble the necessary votes to override, so they lopped a week off the early voting period out of spite.
These bills are NOT about fraud, if anyone is still under that mistaken impression. They are about disenfranchising minorities, the elderly, Democrats and women - or all of the above!
Dude. Everybody knows that Brazz developed unobtainium for use in traveling to the center of the Earth to re-start its motion and save the planetary magnetic field.
Sheesh...First kids think Cameron invented the Titanic disaster out of whole cloth, now this. Hasn't anyone seen The Core?
I watched it this weekend. Oy.

Remove the cap on social security so the rich may pay their fair share and increase the medicare tax to 4.6%. If all of our taxes were responsible and dedicated to a specific item, it would be easy to correct them up or down. A graduated flat tax with no deductions or loopholes will save a lot of money and be more fair. Start at 2% and go up to the top marginal tax rate under Reagan.
Here in the Mid Hudson Valley in New York State, the only ads I've seen for a Republican Presidential candidate have been signs for Ron Paul.
Actually, they never left from his 2008 bit. There have been Paul signs since 2007. They've been augmented in the past few months.
Leaving out the money issue, which by the way I'm happy for as well as credit any Latino that becomes wealthy, I still believe that once a Latino or Chicano politician turns republican just on principles alone are abandoning their true culture.
