Open Thread – 4/21/2010

Yesterday I cancelled my appointments for the week and went back to bed. I got up for a short while and replied to comments. I still feel quite ill.

Jig Zone Puzzle:

I could not focus on today’s puzzle. To do it, click here. How did you do?\

Short Takes:

From NPR: The acting leader of Tehran’s Friday prayers blames women for earthquakes. He says many women, who do not dress modestly, lead young men astray, which increases earthquakes.

This guy would fit right in with the American Taliban.

From TPM: House Minority Whip Eric Cantor endorsed Rubio this morning, joining the list of establishment Republicans that includes Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani.

The GOP is throwing all but the most extreme ideologues under the bus.

From Common Dreams: Dorothy Height, who in an 80-year campaign for social justice became the grande dame of the civil rights era and its great unsung heroine, died Tuesday morning at the age of 98.

Condolences to her family. She will be missed by all people of good will.

Feel better soon – I had a shitty day as well and slept most of the day. Now, I’m really behind.

I heard that thing about the earthquakes – what a douche.
