Open Thread–12/13/2010

Today I managed to catch up on comments.  Tomorrow, it’s not likely, because I have a doctor appointment two hours away from home.  So far, my attempt to change my sleep schedule seems to be working, but I feel pretty drained.

Jig Zone Puzzle:

Today it took me 3:14 (average 4:28).  To do it, click here.  How did you do?

Religious Agony:

Never before in history have the Broncos failed to beat Arizona.  ARGH!

Short Takes:

From Huffington Post: With progressives demoralized by November’s election and Obama’s retreat on the Bush tax cuts, a group of activists are fighting back against the Glenn Becks, Andrew Breitbarts and the rest of the Fox News propaganda machine. Last week a new watchdog group, IndictBreitbart.org, launched a campaign to encourage Baltimore’s new State’s Attorney to prosecute right wing activists Andrew Breitbart, James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles for violating a Maryland law, which prohibits surreptitious recordings and disclosure of those recordings.

I encourage you to chick the link and sign the letter.

From AP/Google: Embattled GOP Chairman Michael Steele could disclose late Monday whether he’ll seek re-election to the two-year post as several challengers line up to try to succeed him.

He is one of the few Republicans I will miss.

From Common Dreams: In his final public remarks as head of President Obama’s National Economic Council on Monday morning, Larry Summers had nothing bad to say about himself.

Summers shrugged off efforts by two reporters to get him to express regrets about his two-year tenure, during which big banks thrived, but ordinary Americans suffered.

Good riddance to bas rubbish!  Go, Timmy, GO!
