PA Governor Doesn't Know What ID Is Acceptable Under Voter ID Law He Signed

It's a testament to how concerned the Pennsylvania state government is about legitimate voters being denied their right to vote that the Governor isn't even pretending [1] that they are going to educate the populace about the new voter ID requirements:

Pennsylvanians unsure about the requirements of their state’s new voter ID bill have some notable company: their governor.

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett (R) on Wednesday couldn’t remember when asked by a reporter what forms of identification would be accepted under the voter ID law he signed earlier this year.

And let the American Whining begin...

In Olympic gymnastics for the all around title each country is only allowed two members to move forward.
Because of this and some mistakes on her part, the current reigning World title holder is not able to compete for Olympic all around.
Yes, the best should compete, but would the NBC commentators be complaining so hard if the Eastern Bloc/Russian countries were still so powerful in gymnastics? They would have every spot in the all around competition.
Also would the commentators be whining so hard if the situation were reversed with these two gymnasts?

Personally I think this is a good reason that these little teenie boopers shouldn't be competing at this level.

Also, the US commentators for gymnastics are the WORST. They rank right up there with the figure skating commentators.
AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, done with my soapbox. :p
