Yesterday was our first day of Summer weather in Portland, as we reached a high of 82°. Unfortunately, as my apartment is situated it reached 94° inside, and it’s 85° now in the wee morning hours, so I’m feeling somewhat wilted, and I slept poorly. I caught up replying to two days of comments yesterday and returned visits. I may or may not today, depending on how I feel.

Short Takes:
From ESPN: For USA, Saturday’s 1-1 tie with England wasn’t quite 1950 vintage, but the team will take it.
That’s ½ a game more that I thought we’d win.
From News Hounds: Just a few days after Republican Senate candidate Carly Fiorina was caught on microphone dissing Sean Hannity, she appeared on Fox News’ Hannity show to suck up clarify her remarks to him. Fiorina’s “explanation?” That she had really complimented Hannity when she criticized GOP gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman for going on his show; that by saying, “I think it’s a very bad choice actually. You know how he is,” Fiorina really meant how good he is.
Carly earned her BS degree for that one.
From Raw Story: State Sen. Russell Pearce, the primary sponsor of Arizona’s new law allowing police to ask for proof of citizenship when they suspect a person is in the country illegally, says he plans to introduce a bill this fall that would deny citizenship to children born in the United States to illegal immigrants.
The bill would also require the children of illegal immigrants to pay tuition to attend public schools.
Does wanting to charge children who are US citizens mean that the GOP hates children? Only the ones that aren’t all the way white. What’s their next trick? Maybe they’ll label black children ‘anchor babies’ too, because their ancestors snuck into this country in the holds of slave ships.

Have a great Sunday. Have you prayed for a Republican today? The need is great!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Carly got caught with her pants down on that one. If anyone buys that explanation, I have a bridge in AZ to sell them.
Who elected that douchebag in AZ? Hasn’t he caused enough trouble? Charging “anchor babies” for tuition? What a total fuck head.
I hope he runs his car into my fake bridge and is permanently injured. God is certainly NOT going to like that bill. They’ve already lost $100B in tourism and I’d love to see the Grand Canyon, but I’m not going there until some reasonable person replaces this asshole.
The Grand Canyon is a wondrous place, Lisa. All the wing-nuts in Arizona wouldn’t fill it. 😉
Where the hell is everyone this morning? It’s 11:30 my time CDT and no one has commented. And no, I didn’t go to church – never do – it wouldn’t be fair to all those nice people who attend church to have the walls and roof cave in on them when I stepped in.
Quud question. Some Sundays are just mud slow, I guess. Are you comparing yourself to the mighty Samson? 😉
Nope, the Devil. 🙂
Careful, Lisa. Teabaggers will surround you with scythes and pitch forks. 😉
