Felons' Rights

I have a sneaking suspicion the issue will be demagogued and the bill wont pass, but I applaud some members of Congress for introducing a bill to restore voting rights to felons once they've paid their debt to society. I understand the argument for not allowing them to vote (they forfeited that right, blah, blah, blah), but we should be focusing on ways to integrate ex-convicts into society after prison, not continually holding it over their heads that they screwed up. I'm such a dirty hippy I think prison inmates should be allowed to vote, but I know that's just crazy talk.

Comedy

Republicans are now starting to take credit for Obamacare. Many are also walking back all the repeal talk.

I hope democrats have finally learned that nothing breeds success like success. Americans may have been divided about health care reform, but one thing that's clear is that they like winners.
