Yaay, Boo

Yaay: One of my articles for our library newsletter ("Why Books are Best") was picked up and ran in the free city paper. ^__^

Boo: It ran with a typo that wasn't in the original article, which makes me look like an idiot. Is it that hard to copy and paste, Tim Messenger?

Yaay: Early voting is underway in my neck of the woods.

Boo: The Republicans filed a lawsuit to keep the early voting satellite locations in Gary, Hammond, and East Chicago (ie, where the brown people are) closed. A judge will rule on it later this week. Republicans can't win if everyone who wants to gets to vote, so they're trying to keep as many people away as possible. It still won't work, but you have to revile them for their efforts.

Yaay: Our library's new African American Fiction Author section went up yesterday, at long last.

Boo: Actually, there is no downside to this. I've wanted this for ages, we get asked for it all the time, and I'm thrilled we have something new to offer.

I see the Times is being its usual stellar objective self in the reporting thereof. OMG HORDES OF BROWN PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO DEFRAUD US!

Well, you know, there was some voter fraud 40 years ago in the adjacent state, therefore it's something that we really really really really really really worry will happen again, even if it hadn't happened here to start with.

The voting machinations aren't just there--NPR did a feature today that included the information that the Republicans have played judicial activist in several swing states too...in primarily Democratic neighborhoods, of course. Meanwhile conservative sites like NewsMax are crying "Vote fraud!" in Obama's direction, maybe hoping to distract us long enough to miss the vote fraud that the conservatives are doing.

Well done for the author-types yaaays -- you and the African American Fiction. Together at last!

That second boo. ...I want to have words, but it's not working and why bother?
