Yesterday I started out exhausted, because I had been unable to sleep wearing the CPAP mask. I had to go wut to run errands and has several hours of work to get done for today. Nevertheless, I replied to outstanding comments, but got no visiting in. Today I have a board meeting and it’s my volunteer day at the prison. I may get a little done this morning, before I leave. Expect tomorrow’s articles to be up quite late, because I won’t even get home tonight until the time normally wake up to do research.

Short Takes:
From TPM: Health care reform turned an important political corner. A Gallup poll released yesterday finds that, for the first time in months, more Americans say that the Affordable Care Act is a good thing than think it’s a bad thing.
The more it kicks in, the more GOP propaganda will die on the vine.
From Think Progress: Missouri farmer David Jungerman has raised the hackles of local residents with a politically-charged sign he’s placed on his “45-foot-long, semi-truck box trailer” on his farm. The trailer reads: “Are you a Producer or Parasite Democrats – Party of the Parasites.” Now, the Kansas City Star reveals that Jungerman has been the recipient of over a million dollars of federal farm subsidies since 1995.
Isn’t this typical for the Greed Of Parasite party? They love to accuse Democrats of exactly what they are doing themselves.
From Me: The weeks only good news to date…

I hate it when the Repubs get caught with their own hypocrisy. bwahahahaha.
Great cartoon as always!
Thanks, Lisa. Me too.
Have your doc prescribe you some sleeping pills until you get used to the CPAP machine. I recommend Temazepam (15mg) because it’ll knock your ass out. (Make sure you take it and go immediately to bed, do not pass go, do not collect $200, etc.. Otherwise, you’ll be crawling to bed (so not kidding about that!)). Do NOT get Ambien – people do weird things on that like drive places and God only knows what else. Can’t believe that shit has not been pulled off the market yet – I guess they are waiting for someone to actually kill someone while driving while sleeping.
Thanls Lisa. I clipped this into One Note. I’ve only had Ambien once, during my second aleep study. I was too connected to do anything wierd and only sl;ept a little over four hours despite a double dose.
