A new bill may finally end the scorge of a particularly nefarious brand of  criminal.

Who are these highly dangerous and unsavory characters? Soccer moms. Clergy. Anyone who gives a neighbor a ride.

Let us at USDemocrazy explain…

The SAFE Act, which passed the House Judiciary Committee this summer, is designed to solve America’s immigration problem. The bill proposes harsh penalties for illegal immigrants. Under the law:

• Being undocumented would be a federal offense 
• Overstaying a visa would be a federal offense 
• Undocumented individuals would be subject to fines, arrest, and prison time in addition to deportation 

And…get ready for this one…

• Knowingly transporting an undocumented person would be a crime punishable by up to five years in jail

This is where the soccer moms come in. As the Center for American Progress points out, a mom that gives an undocumented girl a ride to practice could end up behind bars.

Trying to help out a neighbor? Maybe give them a lift to the hospital? The SAFE Act makes no exceptions.

Really?

Although GovTrack.us only gives it a 5% chance of being enacted, it still begs the question: Why is this even on the table?

Americans want sensible immigration reform, but it might be safe to say at present SAFE is not entirely sensible..

Name That Blue is a deceptively simple online game that asks you to identify which household name brands go with which shade of blue. Is that IBM or Nokia? Twitter or Skype? Just click on the brand name for instant feedback and feel the pressure rise along with your score.

Think you’re up for the challenge? Is color one of your superpowers? Got any deadlines you were planning to blow? If you make it back here in the next couple of days, comment and let us know how you did.

Once you’ve mastered those blues (and still no deadlines you really mean to keep), click the “Want more than blues?” link at the bottom of the page to try another color. Once you do, the ramped up challenge becomes multicolor. Exactly whose insipid lavender, audacious green or glorious, sunshiny yellow is that?

More sites and businesses are still being added, and if you really kick it, you’ll unlock the reds.

Procrastination in even higher gear? Check out semi-secret, experimental Blue That Name.

The masterful and insidious creation of web developer Colin Gourlay, the source code for Name That Blue is available for scrutiny and forking on Github. Gourlay is also on Dribbble, by the way. At this writing, there’s just one post — the cute transitioning animation between drawer icon and close button for his Name That Blue slide-out menu.

What’s your favorite blue? How did you score in the game? Let us know in the comments.
