The Rocket is Crashing and Burning and the Court Gets One RIGHT!
I would like go on record right now and let you know that I never slept with Roger Clemens. I also never let him inject me in the ass with anything. Man alive, do things just keep getting worse for Mr. Clemens or what! The Rocket ought to terminate whoever is advising him. Before this latest escapade, I have a feeling Clemens never faced a situation that he could not overcome. Thus, when allegations of steroid use surfaced, he just assumed that he could talk his way out of it by going on the offensive – filing a defamation lawsuit, appearing on 60 Minutes, testifying before Congress, denying accusations that he boned an underaged country singer, etc. Kind of reminds me of that story about the Old Lady who swallowed the fly and then kept swallowing a ton of other things to try to kill the fly, but just never could recover. We’ll see if Clemens is as stupid as she was; it certainly appears that he is!
Yesterday, the Supreme Court held that, brace yourself, states can actually make voters produce photo identification when they go to vote. For the love of all that is holy, how on earth could the Court impose such a difficult burden on people who want to vote? (Yes, that is sarcasm.) Apparently, requiring photo identification is somewhat controversial because acquiring such identification is more difficult for old people and minorities, and as a result, those groups might be disenfranchised on election days. My question is: “WHY?” What exactly makes acquiring photo i.d. so difficult, especially for old people? Seriously, if you’re sitting at home every day, watching The Price is Right and messing around with your dentures, I think you’d welcome the opportunity to journey to the place that doles out photo identification cards before hitting the local casino. This whole nonsense ranks right up there with “English should be America’s official language” on the “Why in the Hell is this Controversial” meter? Usually I can understand other points of view. Not so much this time.

Oh, if only I could tell you about the dreams I've had of Roger Clemens. But this is not a appropriate place to discuss the issue. ;-)
At a business dinner a couple years ago, a colleague looked me in the eyes and said, "Who do you prefer? Roger Clemens or Sammy Sosa?"
I said, "Without a doubt, Roger Clemens."

Roger could definitely borrow Hillary Clinton's current favorite line, which she borrowed from Harry S. Truman, "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen!" Ming, may all your dreams come true. ;-) Who knows maybe he'll do anything he can for the public's support!

Roger Clemens is pretty hot lol........
The Illegals will still make fake Photo ID's in the comfort of their own home though - so they will still vote anyway haha

I'm with you on the photo IDs. Not a hard requirement if you're actually an eligible voter. If we're really concerned with disenfranchising voters then we should require same-day voter registration in every state (instead of just the dozen or so that have it). Trust me, that's the best way to make sure that people who want to can vote.

I dont see why people who are on welfare get to vote. I think if you are not adding into the system you shouldnt get the right to vote or at least you should have your vote count less then people who actually pay taxes.
This license thing is ridiculous, if you cant afford to get a license or cant figure out how, should you really be allowed to decide anything that effects the rest of the country or community?
