Secret revealed … the DC lightning photo.

July 13, 2012

Earlier this week we posted:

Great picture, even if it’s a PhotoShop job …

A reader sourced the pic and how it was done: multiple sequential pics overlayed on one another using Photoshop.

Pretty interesting. Read about it in the Wash Post.

Some places require photo IDs, some don’t … now, I have a new favorite place that does.

July 13, 2012

Annually, I report how I have to show 3 IDs – including a photo ID – to gain entry to the county dump and throw a couple of bags of leaves onto the compost pile.

Dumb.

Last week, my family went to a down & dirty crab house for dinner.  They wouldn’t put us on the wait-for-an-hour list unless we coughed up and ID – and let them hold it as collateral.

Dumber.

But, possibly the dumbest and certainly the most ironic case was reported by Townhall

Believe it or not,  the NAACP required a government issued photo identification and a second form of identification … to get into their convention to hear Eric Holder speak.

You know, the Eric Holder who – along with the NAACP — stands firmly against photo IDs when it comes to verifying a voter’s identity.

C’mon man.

You just can’t make this stuff up.
