Sorry for the double post. But I thought that this transcript deserved its own entry:

Missouri: Service-dog handlers denied entry at Palin Rally
This is old, but worth sharing. The source that sent this to me said these were blind people, and the story mentions "seeing eye dogs." But I'm not clear on whether or not this was the case. There's apparently a video, but my machine didn't like it. (I got an ad to have my ducts cleaned instead.)

Chess, anyone?
I just signed up for Hadley's chess courses. I think you get a free accessible chess set (and I think you get to keep it, though I could be wrong about that).

NFBV
I'm at the NFB 50th Anniversary convention. Mom and Dad are at my apartment with Glaze. They've been at my place since Monday, and they volunteered to stay and watch G for me. Dad also drove me up here (the convention, BTW, is in Fredericksburg!). This meant I could bring tons of stuff with me. I have my laptop, my focus, and even my portable ( Read more... ) -
The candidates' positions on disability issues
Someone sent me the following link to a comparison chart on disability issues. It's found on the web site of the state of Ohio, not on the site of a particular candidate or organization. Fasinating stuff.
