Yesterday I my Podiatrist died his quarterly cutting on my foot. A plugged gland secretes something that hardens like stone. Every three months it grows to the size of a pea and makes walking almost unbearable, so it needs to be cut out. It’s a lot less painful than it used to be the years I had to do it myself. By the time I returned home, the temperature in the apartment was over 90° again, Ind I was too useless to reply to comments or return visits. Today will be the same, because of my volunteer work as a co-facilitator for a therapy group of former prisoners. Because of the heat, I’m still behind non sleep, but I expect to start catching up tomorrow.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today it took me 3:11. To do it, click here. How did you do?
Fantasy Football:
To join our fantasy football league, click here. It’s looking doubtful that we will get to play. 🙁
Short Takes:
From Alternet: Almost two dozen Tea Party-affiliated lawmakers cosponsored a new resolution late last week that expresses their support for Israel “to use all means necessary to confront and eliminate nuclear threats posed by the Islamic Republic of Iran, including the use of military force.”
Don’t these fools realize that we will get sucked into a war between Israel and Iran faster than a Republican leader will steal a baby’s ice cream?
From Right Wing Watch: And so Tea Party activists are planning to protest outside of the Islamic Center’s existing facility and urging participants to bring dogs in order to intimidate worshipers because "Muslims hate dogs".
Don’t these fools realize that the only time Muslims hate dogs is when Republicans use dogs as instruments of torture?
From Political Ticker: As if the repeated trips to Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina weren’t clues enough, former Republican Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania met privately last week with several of his former Capitol Hill staffers to pitch the idea of a presidential bid in 2012.
According to GOP sources familiar with the meeting, which took place last Tuesday in Washington, Santorum conveyed his seriousness about a possible campaign and solicited his former aides for advice.
Bring him on!! Rick “Man on Dog” Santorum has an established record of hate against which to run.

TMI, TC, TMI!
Marva, my foot-pearls are a lot more palatable than John “Bacchanalia” Boehner’s tan. 😉
And then when we drop a nuck on them, they’ll drop one on us. Great idea teabaggers! Maybe they’ll hit AZ and at least get one problem out of the way – let’s get the Dems and all of the Latinos out first though. Or maybe just take out the Governor’s Mansion and the State Congress. I’d be happy with that. 🙂
Protesting against Islamic mosques – what a great idea to piss them off further. And the Isamic mosque they are building in NYC is 2 blocks from the WTC site. Last time I checked, this was a free country . Right? Also, they need permits granted by NYC to build; no one there seemed to have a problem with that, eh?
Rick “Sanitorium” Santorum is running for Prez? Oh God, help us all. Notice there is only 2 i’s difference from his actual name. Maybe he should change it? I think he might have a better chance that way; at least he’s being honest.
Lisa, whatza nuck? 😉
A agree with everything you say, since you are nuking AZ in jest. Maybe we could offer federal lands in Arizona for free if used for organiz homesteading. That could treehugger the teabuggerers. 😉
