Yesterday I kept up with replying to comments and returning visits. Today should present no problems doing the same, except that my COPD has acted up the last couple days. Tomorrow and Wednesday will be busy though.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Yesterday it took me 4:35. To do it, click here. How dod you do?
Fantasy Football:
Because it was clear that we will not get enough players, and CBS will not let us publish the league to get players from the general pool, I moved the league to Fox Sports, because they will let us go public. I have sent an email initiation to everyone who was in and two have responded, so far. If you would like to play, sign into Fox Fantasy Football with any MSN ID. The League ID is 1023560. The Password is nogop
Short Takes:
From The Grand Forks Herald: Teabaggers claim they’re a new political movement, but there’s nothing new about them. Their ignorance and reactionary self-righteousness are as old as humanity.
There were teabaggers in ancient Israel; they were known as the Pharisees. There were teabaggers in the Spanish Inquisition; they burned witches at the stake. There were teabaggers in South Africa; they imprisoned Nelson Mandela for 28 years. There even are teabaggers in the animal kingdom; they’re called parrots.
That paper sure knows about Teabuggery!! 🙂
From TPM: Target donated $150,000 to a group called MN Forward, a pro-business group backed by the state Chamber of Commerce, and which is actively supporting the very conservative Emmer. As a result, they’ve come under fire from gay rights organizations, due to Emmer’s support for a proposed state constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage, and his close associations with the religious right.
Any company that takes advantage of the Citizens United Decision does not deserve our business, especially when they support bigots like Emmer.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Yeah, ignorants and racists have been around forever. Nothing new about that.
Target – tell me it’s not so. That is one of my favorite stores, since I won’t shop at Walmart. Tell me it’s not true!
Great cartoon for those global warming deniers.
Sorry about Target, Lisa. Do they know you well there? If so you might want to go talk to them. Explain how it will cost them business.
Thanks.
I am getting better. My times are beginning to cluster around the jigsaw puzzle average, sometimes a little better, but more often a little worse.
Glad you’re enjoying them, Jerry. I usually beat the average, but not today.
Great cartoon. That’s exactly what the rightwads will be doing — sitting there boiling and baking while they’re saying “Global warming? That’s just a myth, so the leftists can have a big government power grab.”
Tom, they think Supply-side Jesus is goung to save them.
