Mass Link Bundle #2

Not getting better using this. Let's see how many tabs I clear from my browser this time, beginning with the oldest.

In the south, and especially in Harris County, if you have no money, you have no justice.

The next time a Republican tells you that conservatives support equal rights for women, tell him about this. Or tell him he's full of shit. Both are true. (By the way, this story is from 2015, but Strickland still holds office.)

If you live someplace in Texas with a homeowner's association, or with a deed restriction, you may find out the hard way that you don't own your home at all- and that you have no legal rights worth respecting to try to keep it. HOAs in Texas are insanely powerful- and unaccountable.

Thanks, Bill and Hillary Clinton. Some of us remember.

Cutting taxes only boosts wealth for the rich. It doesn't make the economy stronger. Also, water tends to be slightly damp.

Remember, hard work does NOT equal success. If your boss can get away with paying you less than you're worth, he WILL- and he'll pat himself on the back for doing it.

The next time a conservative says, "You socialists just want stuff for free! I paid for mine!", point out that they could be getting what they're paying for for a LOT cheaper- by socializing it. That's how Scandinavia does it.

Responsible (white) gun owner pulls gun on black man because he's scared of black people.

Three victims of the CIA's torture program sued the doctors who designed the torture methods. And they won.This is the first, and so far only, victory for those seeking justice for the Bush administration's crimes.

(Paywall) Kansas gutted taxes; California hiked them sky-high. Now Kansas is sinking economically while California is soaring.

An excellent argument, with studies cited, against universal gun ownership, but my favorite bit is the simple response to the insane notion that the Second Amendment preserves the right to armed resistance against our elected government.

The Atlanta Braves got a special law passed for their new Cobb County stadium to give them a monopoly on expensive parking spaces- with no public transit option- all in the name of "safety." Riiiiight.

That's all Blogger will let me do for now...
