I also wonder if it's illegal. Disturbing the peace with stuff that's very disturbing.

And like flippyshark sez, that sound you hear is the trucks' backfire.

There was a guy here with a truck with very graphic images that used to park down at Balboa Park. We'd have to pass it on the way to the zoo with Madz. Not something you really want your kid to see or have to explain.

Definately doesn't make me sympathetic to their point at all.

You'd think that there would something illegal about that - but I suppose they have a right to free speech as much as the rest of us.

The Washington Post endorses Obama:

Quote:

The choice is made easy in part by Mr. McCain's disappointing campaign, above all his irresponsible selection of a running mate who is not ready to be president. It is made easy in larger part, though, because of our admiration for Mr. Obama and the impressive qualities he has shown during this long race. Yes, we have reservations and concerns, almost inevitably, given Mr. Obama's relatively brief experience in national politics. But we also have enormous hopes.

Sounds like Colin Powell might endorse Obama on "Meet the Press" this Sunday.

Not the point (though that's immediately what I thought of, too). With no further information, I would have thought "D'uh." But with the proviso that the paper has never before endorsed the Democratic nominee, this is worthy of news in some other paper.

Adlai Stevenson was a Democratic nominee - - twice. Neither time was he endorsed by the Trib.

It's also the first time the LA Times has ever endorsed a Democrat for president (they last endorsed a presidential candidate in 1972).

Sent in my absentee ballot yesterday.

My unofficial third son, Kaelyn (Scrooge McSam has met him) - the son of a white woman and a black man - filled in the bubble for Barack Obama for me. It was a moment of pride in my country for me....and a huge helping of 'I can do anything' for my boy, Kaelyn.

Yesterday was a very good day.
