Obama for President
No on all but sick kids, needy vets, helpless animals and political reform
10/30/2008
If anyone needs to know anything about the candidates and propositions on Tuesday’s ballot, check out our special election package of stories and letters to the editor in our print and online editions. Only a handful of issues were not included in the coverage. That’s because there are some things that demand compassion without question, and they include sick children, needy veterans and helpless animals. Everything that needed to be said about everything else has been amply articulated. It is now time to vote. Here’s how:

My friend witnessed a security guard vandalizing a No on Prop 8 poster on Pasadena Art Center campus. He couldn't get his camera out on time to video tape the action, but did take a picture of the poster (http://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq8/k...). He reported the incident to the head of the security on campus. Sadly they did not take it seriously, even it was committed by a security guard. Note that the security guard appears to be strongly opposed to male same sex marriage but gets turned on by the idea of a lesbian couple. I despise these perverted people who claim that they are morally righteous beings!!
