Yesterday I had a bad air day. Everything took longer than it should. I spent the morning working with a new software package for creating and editing PDF files. I spent most of the afternoon watching football, but I did put in a brief appearance on Blog Talk Radio. I slept poorly and have errands to run, so I don’t know how I’ll do today.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today it took me 5:10 (average 4:55). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Religious Ecstasy:
Short Takes:
From LA Times: The package, discussed last week between Netanyahu and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton in New York, includes 20 stealth fighter jets worth $3 billion and a promise to veto anti-Israel proposals raised in the U.N. Security Council during the next year, including a potential Palestinian bid to seek international support for a unilateral declaration of statehood.
In return, Israel would renew its partial West Bank construction moratorium for 90 days.
Has Hillary gone crazy? We can’t afford $3 billion. Israel is too bellicose to trust to own F-35s. The veto promise is an invitation for Israel commit more atrocities. And what are we going to give them after they stall three more months, Goldman Sachs?!!? 
From Alternet: Nearly every member of the Kentucky House of Representatives and Senate has signed a court brief demanding that the state be permitted to acknowledge “reliance upon Almighty God” in its Homeland Security department.
In that let Kentucky rely on Almighty God to represent them in the Senate and take back Bought Bitch Mitch and Raving Rand.
From McClatchy DC: A push from conservative legislators for Texas to opt out of Medicaid is stirring alarm among healthcare providers and nursing homes, which say the potential loss of billions of federal dollars could drastically undercut efforts to provide healthcare for the poor.
I guess we’ll have to build that wall around Texas and Oklahoma. They want their poor to leave the state.

Dang!! That’s two in a row!! 😥
That’s it? That’s all we got – a moratorium for 90 days? WTF? How about forever and $15B for those planes? That deal sucks. What will we have to give them next time. Next time just have the secret service or the CIA shoot Netty.
Sorry, I misunderstood – we paid THEM $3B? Just make it a glass parking lot and call it a day. Why don’t we make our own out of our HUGE defense budget. She better be paying for that shit herself.
We haven’t agreed to it yet, but that’s the deal Clinton offered them.
Well, you go ahead and rely on Almighy God. I’m going with weapons, tanks, planes, boats and nukes. Let’s see who does better.
That is just wrong you assinine Texans.
They think the world can’t end unless Supply-side Jesus (not the real one) does it.
Of course it is. Right is almost always wrong.
