Miscellaneous.

It was quite clear the USSC's decision yesterday on voter i.d. had the intent of hurting groups of people who would normally vote Democratic.

There will be a sex tape made available which allegedly shows guitar great Jimi Hendrix having sex with two women.

Unfortunately for the promoter, Hendrix's main girlfriend of the late 1960s, Kathy Etchingham, says it isn't possible it could be him. He was very shy and private.

I side with his onetime girlfriend. It would been out of character for Hendrix. The matter sounds like a hoax:

But Kathy Etchingham, 60, one of Hendrix’s steady girlfriends during the ’60s, said via e-mail after viewing still photos from the film at the request of a reporter: “It is not him. His face is too broad and nose and nostrils too wide for Jimi. Also the hair is too low on the forehead.”

“He would never have allowed anyone to see that,” she said in a telephone interview. “In private he was very shy and would cover up.”

The film has also been dismissed by Hendrix collectors and historians. One expert said that the rings the man in the film is wearing do not resemble any he had seen in years of studying pictures and film of Hendrix. Charles R. Cross, author of the Hendrix biography “Room Full of Mirrors” (Hyperion, 2005), encountered the film during his book research. “It doesn’t add up to Jimi,” he said.
