The Party of "No"
Technorati and Me
Technorati is indexing me again! They had to make a code change to fix the problem with my blog getting stuck in their queue. Kudos to Eric M. and the guys at GetSatisfaction.com where they have "community powered support for Technorati".
Well, they're "sorta, kinda" indexing me anyway. It's on a 24 hour tape delay or something. So I never get picked up by Memeorandum because they pull from Technorati and Technorati has stuff I posted yesterday listed as my latest blog entry. And that's old news to Memeorandum.
Wankers.

Forget voting rights, Illinois makes you show photo ID to buy drain cleaner
Eric Holder will swear on a stack of Jeremiah Wright's sermons that it's a violation of your civil rights if you have to show photo ID in order to vote.
But his cronies in Illinois just made it mandatory to show photo ID if you want to buy drain cleaner.
Illinois residents were fuming Friday over a state law that took effect earlier this week requiring them to provide photo identification to buy drain cleaner, according to WBBM-TV.
The law, which went into effect Sunday, requires people who want to buy "caustic or noxious substances" -- excepting batteries -- to show government-issued photo identification.
Merchants must then log the buyer's name, address, date and time of the purchase, the product and the product's brand and net weight.
Nope, not an intrusion on our privacy, not one bit!
The law was passed by the Illinois legislature in response to a brutal attack in 2010 during which drain cleaner was dumped on two Chicago women, badly injuring them.
We're all potential criminals now. Assumed guilty, and they don't care if you're proven innocent.
Memo to the Illinois legislature: Drain cleaner is sold in Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, Kentucky, and Indiana too. You gonna set up checkpoints on the border?
