Black's brand of sputtering, hand-flapping indignation is pretty much all that is left to us...

Fantastic.
If this works I'd like to see it become part of a series:
Instant Runoff Voting: Democracy That Works Goddamn It.
Fuck The Electoral College. Seriously.
The Campaign Finance Ammendment: Because I Don't Give a Shit What Wall Street Has To Say.

I love Black's shtick and I love it being used for just this purpose. Wonderful.

The SCOTUS has halted WI voter restrictions.
Even at that, Governor Walker has closed state offices and reduced hours at others in order to restrict access to the Voter ID cards the law requires.
WI GOP - Anti Freedom, Anti-Democracy. Straight up Anti-American.

As a wise man just said; "Good! Get that angry white man out there more!. In fact, why doesn't Lewis Black have his own show on MSNBC?"
"I'm not working for fucking NBC! Whether it's MS, BS, or FU!", Lewis Black, when asked if he would ever host a show on MSNBC.

Nice. Although I can see why Republicans might be trying to suppress his vote.

The only person who could've delivered this particular message is Lewis Black. It's the perfect WTF. Applause.

1.) I'm glad he got a "fuckin" in there. Black isn't Black unless there is some profanity.
2.) I'd love it if "Not on My Watch" became the slogan against voter suppression- It has a very 1940s propaganda "We Can Do It!" vibe that I dig.
