Why do people refuse to vote in America?
Some seem overwhelmed with the decision. Others feel the process is a sham and there is no point in participating. This historic election, we have a group that is more vocal about their reason.

Ouch: $100 Fill-ups Arrive at Gas Pumps

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up
So, what happened in Pennsylvania, last night? Did the groundhog see its shadow? Rest assured that today’s Ten Post Round-Up makes no mention of the shenanigans going on in Pennsylvania, but the rest of the world is fair game: 1: South Dakota tries one more time to outlaw a woman’s right to choose… Anti-Choicers are Closet Communists–AlterNet 2: Iraq and Afghanistan veterans are being denied the care they need to recover from the scars of war (physically and mentally)…...
