This has probably been posted, but it gave me a healthy chuckle, so I had to post it on DU:

Email/newsletter from Bernie, "A national disgrace"

I'm sure a lot of us saw the email from Bernie Sanders: "A national disgrace." I hardly ever read the political emails, because I get so many from the DNC, and other orgs that I've donated to.

But I decided to read Bernie's "A national disgrace" email/newsletter regarding the Arizona voting travesty yesterday.

"What happened yesterday in Arizona should be considered a national disgrace. I got an email last night from a woman who waited five hours to vote in Arizona. Five hours.

We don't know how many thousands of people didn't get to cast their ballots yesterday in Arizona because they couldn't afford to wait that long. Scenes on cable news last night showed hundreds of people in line at 11:30pm in Phoenix – more than four hours after polls closed. Voting should not be this difficult.
..."

It's a great piece. The first thing that struck me was that this may be a test pilot for other states. I imagine the GE is going to be a huge mess in Arizona.

Anyways, that was all I wanted to say.
Have a great Thursday!

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — Richard Ramirez was one of the nation’s most prolific serial killers.

Dubbed the “Nightstalker,” he was ultimately convicted in 13 murders after terrorizing Los Angeles and San Francisco from April of 1984 until August of 1985.

But Monday, more than 30 years after the last murder, San Francisco’s police chief says there is evidence which suggests that, in at least one killing, Ramirez may not have been acting alone.

Chief Greg Suhr says a handkerchief was found near one of the murder scenes containing the bodily fluids of Ramirez and another man, as well as the blood of the victim.

The Koch Brothers have been creepily quiet in this primary...

I guess they're waiting to see how they can spin their little webs, once the GOP has decided on a candidate.
Either that, or they are setting up their scurvy little spiders elsewhere: the senate and house races.
