Scotland Stays, Lockdown in Sierra Leone
Here's what I'm reading up on this morning:
- Scotland voted to stay with the United Kingdom.
- Sierra Leone has begun a three-day lockdown to try to contain its Ebola outbreak. The virus has killed more than 2,600 people in west Africa.
- New York Mayor Bill De Blasio defends municipal ID's for undocumented immigrants.
- Remember Charity Johnson, the 34-year-old woman from Texas who posed as a high school student? She's got a story that's worth reading.
- Daniele Watts' story gets even more bizarre.
- Life is hard enough for the formerly incarcerated, but especially if they're elderly. And increasingly, that's the case.
