More proof that people experiencing homelessness should not be stigmatized, ostracized, marginalized, silenced and forgotten....
Pantries not just for homeless anymore 'Working poor' seek assistance

BY JOHN A. TORRES • FLORIDA TODAY • June 22, 2008

The North Carolina GOP ad, you know, the one that McCain has NOT even seen but doesn’t want run, has apparently been blessed by Obama as a legitimate issue.  Now that Obama says it is an issue, McCain says “me, too!”

Some good news out of Florida today:

Employers and business owners can no longer bar workers and shoppers from bringing guns onto their property and leaving the weapons locked inside their vehicles under a bill signed into law today by Gov. Charlie Crist.

Florida today goes to the ballot to decide which Republican sucks the least, and to decide on whether or not to lower their taxes. To hear the the proponents of Amendment One tell it, you'd think Floridians are the most tax oppressed peoples in the Western Hemisphere; forgetting the fact that they rank about 38th in terms of tax burden (though its not too surprising, as Tennesseans at 48, still bitch about their State taxes).

My daughter is voting for Obama in Florida today.

She didn’t get this joke…

I guess that’s a good thing that she didn’t get it?

Some presidential campaign link love for your Tuesday:

-- Alice gives out the skinny on working to assist the John Edwards presidential campaign.

-- Undecided voters in the latest poll on candidate preference in Tennessee will be the deciders. (via Silence Isn't Golden)
