Program Note
[ Posted Tuesday, June 11th, 2013 – 22:14 UTC ]
No column today, sorry. Columns will resume tomorrow, but for the next two weeks columns may be infrequent, as the Netroots Nation blogger conference will be taking up a lot of my time. Watch this space for further details as I figure them out, and sorry for the interruptions in service in advance.

GOP passes law to prevent public access to gun records, only to find out that the only ones accessing gun records (for their mailing list) is the state GOP.

I also just happened to notice this today as well.
The SCOTUS ruled you can't patent genes ...

Good for them!
Decision was 9-0 so apparently there are some things which can be agreed upon independent of politics :)

Yeah, that one was a victory for common sense -- a rarity in Washington!
