The word on the street is that Daryl and John were pissed that they had to make this video. Some bureaucracy bullshit landed them on the set and they were coerced into filming it. Well, they did their best to make sure the “fuck you” is loud and clear here even though its never uttered. I believe this only got released recently, but its fucking hilarious. These dudes rock.  

I have a ton of albums on my “to-buy” list, but with the shocking sudden death of Prince yesterday, I finally bought Plectrumelectrum the album he recorded with 3rdeyegirl. Damn, it’s phenomenal. If there was a god, the Nuge or maybe a certain orange presidential candidate would be gone, but no. It has to be another legendary musician with so much more to give.

Black Wisconsin man brought 3 forms of ID to vote — they still wouldn’t let him

rawstory:

Holloway, a 58-year-old African-American man, moved from Illinois to
Wisconsin in 2008 and voted without problems, until Wisconsin passed its
voter-ID law in 2011. “I never miss voting,” he said. He brought his
expired Illinois photo ID, birth certificate, and Social Security card
to get a photo ID for voting, but the DMV in Milwaukee rejected his
application because the name on his birth certificate read “Eddie Junior Holloway,” the result of a clerical error when it was issued.

Holloway, who worked as a cook in Illinois but is now unemployed
and disabled, living with his family in Milwaukee, got a ride downtown
to the Vital Records System to try to fix his birth certificate. Vital
Records said it would cost between $400 and $600, which Holloway could
not afford.

He then called the Illinois Vital Records Division, who said he
had to personally come to Springfield, the state capitol, to amend his
birth certificate. So Holloway bought a $180 round-trip bus ticket and
traveled four hours back to his home state. Once in Springfield, the
division said it needed a copy of his high-school and vaccination
records. Holloway went to his hometown of Decatur to get his school
records, paying $20 to his friend for gas money, but after returning to
Springfield, Vital Records said it needed his full Social Security
statement, which he didn’t have. He also visited the Illinois DMV, but
had no luck there either. He left Illinois without getting the documents
he needed to vote in Wisconsin.

Back in Milwaukee, Holloway got two copies of his Social Security
statement and asked Illinois Vital Records if he could e-mail or fax
them over. They said he’d have to appear in person again. But Holloway
didn’t have the money to make another trip to Illinois and gave up
trying to get a voter ID. He’d spent $200, visited two states, and made
seven trips to different public institutions, but still couldn’t vote in
Wisconsin.
