Remember that Ohio passed an anti-worker and anti-union bill similar to Wisconsin’s effort. But in Ohio, instead of recall elections, they have a citizen ballot initiative where the issue of repealing or approving legislation is put to the voters. And opponents of the Republican effort to end all unions, otherwise known as SB 5, got that issue on the ballot. Public Policy Polling’s latest poll shows Ohio voters will be rejecting the evil Republican plan, 56% to 36%.

Apparently, you can have literally “mind blowing” sex.

Sex can trigger transient global amnesia, as can other physically strenuous activities. People in their 50s and 60s are the most likely to experience an episode, but strangely, most people with transient global amnesia have it only once. In most cases, the amnesia is anterograde, meaning people have trouble forming new memories. Sometimes, people also experience transient retrograde amnesia, forgetting some portion of their previous memories. In the case of the 54-year-old woman at the Washington, D.C., hospital, the last day was a fog, and she had been forgetful and confused since having sex. … In one case reported in 1964, a man lost his memory the moment he orgasmed, causing him to exclaim, “Where am I? What’s happened?”

Turning point for legal pot? Gallup poll: “A record-high 50% of Americans now say the use of marijuana should be made legal, up from 46% last year. Forty-six percent say marijuana use should remain illegal.”

And finally, Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-Wash.) hosted a town-hall meeting this week, but asked the local paper not to publish a notice of the meeting for the public. Why not? Because the congresswoman didn’t want voters to come and say “whatever’s on their minds.” So who showed up? Her staff? Her supporters?

Like MJ said earlier…. our reality is a parody.
