Yesterday was not as smooth as anticipated.  When I returned home from errands, I had been unable to find some of the things I needed, so I had to order them online.  Then I chatted with a friend from the UK and did my housework.  In the end, I only had time to reply to comments and briefly return visits.  I have a grocery delivery coming today.  For me, unpacking it all and putting it away is a hard job.  But I still hope to get some visiting in.

Jig Zone Puzzle:

Today it took me 3:40.  To do it, click here.  How did you do?

Short Takes:

From Think Progress: OBAMA: We cut taxes for 95 percent of working Americans just like I promised we would on the campaign. […] So I’ve been a little amused over the last couple days where people have been having these rallies about taxes. You would think they would be saying, “Thank you!” That’s what you’d think!

The poor, brainwashed fools refuse to hear the truth.

From TPM: Every member of the Senate Republican Caucus has signed a letter, delivered to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, expressing opposition to the Democrats’ financial regulatory reform bill, which they all claim will lead to more Wall Street bailouts.

Am I the only one experiencing déjà vu?

From Raw Story: Passions were ablaze at a Tax Day Tea Party event held on the steps of the old Florida Capitol, with protesters holding signs that read, "We vote with bullets"

Such threats of violence are the venue for those so intellectually challenged that they cannot form a cogent argument.

Happy weekend!

  1. Did the Repubs even READ the fucking bill? Jesus on a pogo stick, these guys are dumber than a box of rocks. A few days ago several of them were on board with the bill, which Dodd worked closely with them on. This is HCR all over again. They all should be fired for not doing their job and taking the people’s money.
