I am so sick.

When I first tried to read A People's History of the United States, I had to stop when I got to the part where governments were sending out troops to kill striking workers.  I was so disgusted, I couldn't read any further.  So when I see pictures like this:



I get that same feeling in the pit of my stomach.  It's the same thing.  We've traveled through time and nothing has changed.

Cheating cheaters must die.

Hey there friends. As I suspected, there was some cheating/ballot-stuffing going on in that scholarship contest. The people running the contest fixed the loophole and zeroed everyone's votes, so we have to start all over. So, please go vote. It seriously takes two seconds and you don't have to register or put in an email address or anything.

In case you missed the first message, Jacquelyn is a finalist for the 2011 College Blogging Scholarship for her excellent blog The Contemplative Mammoth. It's a scholarship worth $10,000 and it would be a godsend if she won. So please, go HERE and vote for Jacquelyn Gill.

And you can vote every twenty-four hours, so please vote as often as you can. And spread this around, get everyone you know to go vote for her! Thanks!
