There's a Hunger Strike at Gitmo. It's been going on for weeks. Have you heard about it?

I voted in the primary today. Mail-in ballot. As has been my practice since the stupid political parties ruined the open primary, I didn't vote in the partisan races. I still think the parties should reimburse the state for the extra money it takes to print out their races on the ballot. Government should be for and by the people, not the parties, and if parties only want party members voting in their primaries they should hold and pay for their own little private elections and not put the burden on the average voter.
