Get over it

Ohio is as heavily gerrymandered as Michigan is. And, just like Michigan, Ohio was taken to court and its maps declared unconstitutional. Rich Exner of Cleveland.com explains that prisons are an important part of those gerrymandered maps.

In Ohio prison inmates aren’t allowed to vote. So what better way to make a district equal in population yet tilt the vote in the GOP’s favor than a parcel of land with people who can’t vote at all. Prisoners tend to be from highly Democratic areas, yet the prisons are in rural areas. A few GOP districts have little bumps and hooks to include a nearby prison.



For more than two years now people who voted for the nasty guy have been telling Hillary Clinton supporters your candidate lost, get over it. Randi Mayem Singer tweeted:

That’s followed by lots of comments by people who seem to intentionally misunderstand what she is saying.



A bit of fun. Artist Hirotoshi Ito has taken unpolished rocks, carved out the inside, and installed a zipper to make what looks like a soft coin purse. Or he adds a knife to make a hunk of rock look like soft bread being sliced. Find a few photos of his strange creations here.
