[EL] Al Jazeera America article on voter suppression

[David A. Holtzman]

I suppose this goes with the whole Sultan of Brunei thing about the Beverly Hills and Bel-Air hotels.  The hotels are excellent facilities and offer excellent services.

A good friend of mine is a producer of an excellent science show, Tech Know, on AJA (Al Jazeera America).  She says a substantial proportion of AJA's employees are Jewish, which you may find interesting and take as evidence of a lack of holy war in AJA's mission.

But this type of argument is about as stupid as deciding who to vote for or how to vote on ballot measures solely based on who has donated to which campaigns.  Very superficial.  At some point you might want to listen to actual arguments.  - dah
