In Tarrant County (Ft Worth) they are closing polling places to save money. All of those polling places are in minority neighborhoods. And, what's really interesting, most of the polling places are in public buildings, schools & libraries, and manned by volunteers.

I was in New Orleans for Mardi Gras once, it was one hell of a party. I do remember all the beads in the trees. I asked my friend, who lives in New Orleans, "Who cleans all this up after the parties?" He said, "We get a hurricane every four or five years and it washes all the beads away."

Both countries produce more milk and cheese than they can consume. It's important to work together to find international markets for the extra dairy products. At the same time, European and local dairy interests must be protected. Donating dairy products to schools and the homeless is a start.

World War II didn't end with a negotiation. In Europe, it ended when Hitler took his own life and the Russians captured Berlin. In the Pacific, the Japanese finally surrendered after the US dropped atomic bombs on two major cities. The US also firebombed several other cities, including Tokyo.
