NFL's Rodgers, retired astronaut Kelly join Obama for golf......

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is on the course with some high-powered golf partners.

According to the White House, there's quarterback Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers and retired astronaut Mark Kelly.

Rounding out the group at the Andrews Air Force Base course is ESPN's "Pardon The Interruption" co-host Tony Kornheiser.

Kelly is married to former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, an Arizona Democrat. The couple became outspoken advocates for tighter gun-control laws after Giffords was seriously wounded in a mass shooting in Tucson, Arizona, that killed six people in January 2011.

Giffords has campaigned for Hillary Clinton, Obama's former secretary of state and the front-runner in the Democratic presidential race.

Computers down for hours for people in line for early voting......

Oh yah, talk about suppressing the vote, just shut down the computers:


Computer servers for Wisconsin state agencies went down this morning.

According to the Attorney for the Government Accountability Board, Election clerks couldn't access the voter registration system, preventing them from issuing absentee ballots and printing poll books.

Clerks were able to get access to the system by about Noon.

Early voting ended Friday at 5:00 p.m.

Ok, this is pretty funny.......Indiana women calling the Govenor regarding their periods......

Who do you talk to about your period—your best friend? Your doctor? Your conservative governor?

Last week, Indiana Governor Mike Pence signed into law extreme anti-abortion legislation that bans abortions on the basis of the race, sex, or potential disability of a fetus. Now, a growing number of the state’s women have decided: If Pence cares so much about what goes on in their vaginas and uteruses, well, they should probably keep him in the loop. By telling him all about their periods.

For the past week, Hoosier women have been dialing up the governor’s office to fill him in on the details of their menstrual cycles. “I need to get a message to the governor that I am on day three of my period,” one caller told Pence’s office. “My flow seems abnormally heavy, but my cramps are much better.”
