* If you’re a reporter on the Vice-Presidential beat, the job just might be hazardous to your health:
* Atlanta – Another city where the actual count turned out to be way less than the “estimates.” Only in The ATL’s case, the “estimated” 2010 population was around 520k, and the real population was around 420k. That’s a mighty big overestimation — So big that it seems almost like political fluff more than anything that uses the scientific method.
* Also from Atlanta — Rush Limbaugh’s opening theme song is My City Was Gone by The Pretenders, from 1982. If certain black politicians in Georgia have their way, five cities will be gone. The reason they want them to be gone is because they’re majority white. And as we all know, white people don’t deserve to live in cities.
* Again, from Atlanta. Pardon me, but I tend to think his “fighting the white racist system” bromide is a relatively recent construct, in order to sway potential black jurors.
* Now, from the home front. SLU’s student newspaper opines against a voter ID law for Missouri, claiming that it’ll disenfranchise SLU students who are not Missouri residents.
Well, DUH. Non-residents aren’t supposed to be voting in Missouri elections.
I guess the next genius editorial from that paper will be that laws that stipulate that voters be at least 18 years old disenfranchise people who are under 18.
And one more thing — Most of them are running around with fake IDs anyway, so just get one from Missouri.
