Yesterday I almost fell asleep during the therapy group I help lead and did fall asleep on thye bust on the way home. I almost missed my stop. I took a long nap, but fell behind with replying to commens and returning visits. Today is up in the air, because I have medical appointments.

Short Takes:
From Alternet: Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was reportedly "completely shocked and outraged" when he learned that his nephew, who suffers from epilepsy and was reportedly suicidal, was beaten and tased with a stun gun at a Louisiana hospital—apparently, for nothing more than some unruly behavior.
I agree with Thomas and offer my best wishes to his nephew. However, I feel outrage that Thomas himself is to blame for consistently rendering totalitarian decisions that are making this nation a police state.
From McClatchy DC: The number of naturally occurring microbes that eat methane grew surprisingly fast inside a plume spreading from BP’s ruptured oil well, an oceanographer who was one of the first to detect the plumes said Tuesday.
This is not completely good news, because these same microbes consume all the oxygen in the water creating dead zones where no other sea life can survive.
From Crooks and Liars: In New Hampshire, voters have an interesting choice. Ryan J. Murdough is campaigning not on change so much as similarity. His message: Keep New Hampshire white.
"I would like to preserve what we have before it gets totally out of control," Murdough, a 30-year-old father of two young boys, said last week. "The more it becomes non-white, the more it’s going to become a much different place to live, for white people especially."
I guess that GOP race hatred is not limited to the south, unless this bigoted bastard is from southern NH.

Will Batshit Bachman lose her entire staff?

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I too feel bad for his nephew, but he helped contribute to people abusing their power. Take a look in the mirror, Clarence and see what your rulings have done.
Amen, Lisa.
Well, well. Did Mr. Murdough have his sheet on when he made that statement or did he conveniently leave it at home?
“Give us your poor, your tired, your hungry…..”
Even Bachmann’s own staff can’t stand her; that says something about a person. Her campaign manager no less quit – good luck finding another one so close to the election! Bwahahahahahaha!
In NH, the Klan uses fleece lined white hoodies. It’s too cold for sheets. 😉
