One on the National ID thing.

I gotta be honest here. I'm not upset over the national ID idea. Plenty of other countries have them, and they aren't all horrible totalitarian nations. In fact, many of them are quite nice - nicer than fundie-run America, anyway.

Yes, I realize that it wouldn't make us more secure, and I believe that the idea of tacking on unrelated clauses to laws is wrong (though a common enough practice), but... I'm not getting worked up over this.

And one on The Memo. Has this been in CNN at all? Because I can't recall seeing it there...

Pit bulls, by all accounts are gentle dogs. Certainly more gentle than chihuahuas, which are often vicious, or dalmations, which tend to be nervous. They don't deserve this.
