Americans for Prosperity has said that it did not intentionally send thousands of mailers with false information about voter registration to North Carolina voters last month. “A few minor administrative errors,” organization spokesman Donald Bryson told MSNBC. Yet this type of action has a long history among some conservative political strategists. Longtime journalists James Moore and Wayne Slater described many such deeds in their 2005 book, “Rove Exposed: How Bush’s Brain Fooled America,” and their 2006 book, “The Architect: Karl Rove and the Master Plan for Absolute Power.” Instead of false information mailed to potential voters, they chronicled a legacy of successful false information on both mail and hand-delivered fliers to potential voters.

Awful senator calls net neutrality "Obamacare for the Internet" -- which helps out bad actors like Comcast

In February the City Council made headlines when it voted to take a first step toward a ban on fracking within Los Angeles municipal limits.
The body voted unanimously to have city staffers draft the fine print of a law that would outlaw hydraulic oil and gas extraction, a.k.a. fracking, on L.A. turf. Environmentalists say the process, which pushes pressurized liquid into rock formations to squeeze out fossil fuels, could contaminate drinking water supplies and even trigger earthquakes.

Instead of getting its ordinance, however, the council was recently given a report by the Department of City Planning. It says a fracking ban will not be that easy and suggests that more time is needed. At least one city leader is fuming.
Westside Councilman Mike Bonin told us he was "frustrated" that, nearly nine months later, the council still doesn't have a law to vote on: Click headline to read more--
