It’s electin’ season…

Flag waving twaddle. ~ Brian Bellamy

First the good news. Troy Davis was granted a temporary stay of execution by the Supreme Court today less than 2 hours before he was scheduled to be killed by lethal injection. Why the courts always feel the need to wait until the last minute is beyond me but better late than never. So now they are reviewing his case and will make a decision within the next week whether or not to hear arguments. Let’s hope they do… this is one seriously messed up situation.

And in less awesome news, since we are coming into the last month or so of campaigning and since Colorado is still looking like a swing state (though Obama is polling up in the last few days), we had the distinct pleasure to receive Obsession: Radical Islam’s War Against the West the other day, courtesy of the Clarion Fund. Apparently, nothing is known about this fund except that they like producing anti-Islamic tripe and crop-dusting states with close polls with their gingoistic rhetoric. Lovely. Anyway, people… I can not stress this enough… Islam is not the culprit and peddling fear is not the answer to our problems.

So here is a link to Colorado voting information. Express yourself.

Action…

Judge not lest ye be judged. ~ Some hippy dude

At the risk of turning this into some sort of political blog, I feel obligated to call everyone to action to help save a life.

Troy Davis needs our help to keep him from being executed by the state of Georgia for a crime evidence suggests he did not commit. (I could go on at length about my opposition to the death penalty in general but let’s just focus on this case for today.) I am asking everyone to take a few moments out of your day to let the Georgia government know that executing Mr. Davis is unacceptable. Please take action now. Learn more about the case.

Thanks.
