Yesterday I replied to outstanding comments, returned most visits, and went to do errands. The temperature shot up. It was the first of an anticipated four day heat wave. As usual, I wilted. It’s cooled spomewhat but the temperature at mu desk is still 95°, even though it’s after midnight. I have not slept. Whether or not I can keep up on comments and visits is a function of how hot it stays and how my body responds to it.

Today it took me 3:35. To do it, click here. How did you so?
Short Takes:
From AP/Google: Longshot Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Alvin Greene was indicted Friday on two charges, including a felony charge of showing pornography to a teenage student in a South Carolina college computer lab.
If convicted, he is still a more moral candidate than DeMint.
From TPM: The closing days of a GOP primary race for state Senate between state Rep. Brian Nieves and Washington mayor Richard Stratman in Missouri got especially heated and ugly — but accusations that Nieves committed adultery and paid alleged rapist Rod Jetton as a campaign consultant were nothing compared to what has happened since election day. Nieves, now the GOP nominee, stands accused of physically assaulting Stratman’s campaign manager, Shawn Bell, threatening him with a gun, forcing him to strip and threatening the manager’s boss.
Those Missouri Republicans sure take their Second Amendment solutions seriously!
From Think Progress: Obama spoke out on the controversy surrounding the construction of a new Islamic center near the Ground Zero site, firmly siding in favor of the project.
It was the right thing for him to do.
