| SPRING -The price seemed too good to be true: $300 for a round-trip bus tour to the presidential inauguration in Washington, D.C. with a hotel night included. For Aesha Godfrey, it turned out to be a bumpy ride in more ways than one. “I’m so angry,” she said. Godfrey, her mother, her aunt and some friends booked the trip online. It was even advertised on the Dallas County Democratic Party’s website. The bus left Austin early Saturday and had a pickup in Dallas, which is where the women drove to meet up with the group.

The first to get taken for a free ride which costs twice as much as expected. The first to get a free phone and an EBT card which guarantees they stay on the plantation. And the first to vote once more for those who keep the gate locked to prosperity.

Godfrey, her mother, her aunt and some friends booked the trip online. It was even advertised on the Dallas County Democratic Party’s website.
The temptation is to say the advertisement being on the Democratic Party´s website should have been the first clue. But, perhaps we should be a bit more understanding of these women. They either trusted out of ignorance, or decided to try it because they wanted to believe so badly what the Party told them was trustworthy this time.
How many times have we been disappointed when the things we´ve been told by Republicans left us feeling deceived and angry? No, it isn´t surprising that something like this could happen to these women. But, what is happening to us is becoming not so surprising as well.
Granted things may not be as bad for us, but we should be able to commiserate with them just a bit anyway.

A homeless man, oblivious to President Obama’s passing motorcade, took BB gun practice in the nearby woods and refused to drop his weapon when confronted by Connecticut cops, officials said today. Obama was speaking yesterday at the University of Hartford when police, stationed along the president’s route to Bradley International Airport, heard noises coming from a nearby wooded area around 5:50 p.m., said Bloomfield police Capt. Stephen Hajdasz. A detective from the neighboring town of Simsbury ordered the man — identified as 27-year-old Joseph Stravinskas — to drop what appeared to be a rifle, according to Hajdasz.

Sherry West, who is a witness in the murder trial against her former boss Dr. Kermit Gosnell, said that when the tiny ´specimen´ screamed ´it sounded like a little alien´. West is testifying in the case under a deal with prosecutors after she pleaded guilty to third-degree murder involving the death of a 41-year-old woman at the clinic.

Organizing for Action — President Barack Obama’s re-election-campaign-turned-nonprofit — started running its online ads on Facebook and in search engines today.

SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea on Tuesday urged all foreign companies and tourists in South Korea to evacuate, saying the two countries are on the verge of nuclear war. The new threat appeared to be an attempt to keep the region on tenterhooks over its intentions. Analysts see a direct attack on Seoul as extremely unlikely, and there are no overt signs that North Korea´s 1.2 million-man army is readying for war, let alone a nuclear one. South Korea´s military has reported missile movements on North Korea´s east coast but nothing pointed toward South Korea.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.
