CHICAGO -- Sometimes a first-quarter pep talk, a halftime speech, a postgame rant speaks volumes.

I love these NeoCon vote supression rules.  They're *sooooo* cute!  I have some more:   - If you've ever traveled outside of the US you can't vote.   - If you have a graduate degree you can't vote.   - If you make less than 6 figures you can't vote   - If you can spell Nuclear and pronounce it correctly then you can't vote.   - If you haven't accept Jesus as savior then you can't vote.   - If you've never ordered anything from Bass Pro Shops then you can't vote.  This is fun... if you can think of anymore please add a comment!
