Yesterday I caught up on comments, but go not visiting in. I felt very tired. I got a new coffee maker. Setting it up took a masters degree in engineering, but it was a welcome addition. I was sick of instant, which had been drinking since the old machine dies Saturday morning. Today I have morning appointment. I’ll have to see how they go.

Today it took me 3:48. To do it, click here. How did you do?
Short Takes:
From Common Dreams: In a groundbreaking decision that some say will usher in a new era of clean energy, U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said today he had approved the nation’s first offshore wind farm, the controversial Cape Wind project off of Cape Cod.
I understand that the Kennedys and other northeastern blue-bloods objected to this, because they don’t want to see it from their mansions. Tough!
From Daily Kos: Speaking of stupid, according to Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC):
"The president is the one who put the kibosh on working together, and now he’s just trying to use the mainstream media to confuse the American people. The fact is I think he thinks Americans are stupid, and he’s going to play this out until he gets a headline in every paper that Republicans are obstructionist.”
Unbelievable! We lefties have been tearing out our hair in frustration over Obama’s repeated and fruitless attempts at bipartisanship!

Have a great day!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
They say that from the shore, these wind farms will look only a 1/2 inch tall – I think they can get over that.
I think DeMint is stupid not the American people. Well, I do have to qualify that statement, the teabaggers are stupid, racist and bigots and want to lead us back to the 18th century. If that isn’t stupid, I don’t know what stupid is.
Did that rating sheet come from Moody’s or Standard and Poor’s. Maybe they shared it.
Lisa, that sheet is too accurate to have come from either of them.
