Daaaaawwww. Lucky the Humboldt Penguin may be the luckiest penguin in the world. Zookeepers at the Santa Barbara Zoo, California, noticed Lucky’s limp ever since the little rascal smashed his way out of the egg. Sure, it sounds cute, but the limp, caused by improper bone growth in his foot,…

It’s an 8 bit heart on my right shoulder blade. I’ve loved video games ever since I was introduced to them by my brother. From Pokemon to Zelda, I’ve played them all. Plus, I LOVE 8 bit music. Probably the coolest tattoo on my body, by far.

Note Of Note of the Day: From the Associated Press’ Washington-based Assistant Chief of Bureau for photos, J. David Ake:
A protester handed President Barack Obama a note while shaking hands along a rope line in New Hampshire today. Photographer Charlie Dharapak smartly zoomed in so you can read the note for yourself.
Transcript follows for those who can’t:
Mr. President: Over 4000 peaceful protesters / have been arrested / While banksters continue / to destroy the American economy (with impunity) / You must stop the assault / on our 1st ammendment rights [sic]. / Your silence sends a message / that police brutality is ac(ceptable) / Banks got bailed out. / We got sold out.

Imagine if everyone in Manhattan, Detroit and Chicago suddenly lost their ability to vote.
That’s the number of people — 5 million and counting — affected by passed and pending changes to voting laws in states around the country. When all is said and done, millions more could be disenfranchised.
The people passing these laws lie. They say that it’s about voter fraud. What it’s really about is systematically suppressing voters of color, students and the elderly.
While the NAACP is nonpartisan, the people pushing these laws are not. They know that the number of people, five million, whose votes would be suppressed by these laws is three times greater than the combined margin of victory in Florida, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia during the 2008 presidential election.
Let’s call these new voter requirement laws out for what they are: Extreme attempts by the far right-wing to legislate voter suppression.

- You have a better chance of being struck by lightning than you do of being impersonated at the polls.
- 11% of eligible voters would not have the proper, up-to-date, state-issued ID required to vote.
- African American, Latino, young, elderly and disabled voters are far more likely to lack the required identification to vote.
