It is starting to sound like the early 1960s. Minority voters are being denied access to the polls and the feds have to step in.
Politico has a story today with the headline “Obama vs Texas”. Here is a line from the piece:
The White House gets applauded in many parts of the country for casting Texas as the evil outlaw.
And just like a scene straight out of Hollywood, The President and his trusted partner Eric Holder are Gary Cooper and Steve McQueen riding into town to save the day.
Or better yet, The President and Eric Holder are leading troops into the Lone Star State with the bugle cavalry charge basting away.
Here is the Politico story on the showdown.

Who won the World Serious the year the Voting Rights Act was signed into law?
In Season One of “The Newsroom” Executive Producer MacKenzie McHale and Anchor Will McAvoy are reluctant to cover the Anthony Weiner story and only do so after all the other news organizations chase the story. I think Mac and Will were thinking Commentary was their audience because I don’t want to hear about Weiner anymore.

The Dodger beat the Twins in seven of course in the 1965 World Serious a couple of months or so after LBJ signed the Voting Rights Act into law.
From the Chron:
The Astros are on pace for 108 losses and must turn their year around — going 29-32 the rest of the way — to avoid a third consecutive 100-loss campaign. With Wednesday’s non-waiver trade deadline hovering and the final two months of the schedule stacked with playoff-caliber teams and American League West clubs, turning 2013 into something more than the No. 1 overall pick in 2014 is becoming more difficult with each remaining game.
You can say that again!
