I’m feeling positively horrid today, but I’m up to date on comments and I have a couple items for you.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today it took me 5:20 (average 5:55). To do it, click here. How did you do?

With a $3 million trust, we should assume this guy must be a Democrat too, right? 🙄
From Huffington Post: Kansas-based Westboro Baptist Church has decided to back down from their plans to picket the funeral of 9-year-old Christina Taylor Green, the young girl who was gunned down over the weekend in Tucson, Arizona, in a shooting that claimed the lives of 5 others. In return, they have been promised airtime by two radio stations.
:From Daily Kos: Do you think it is ever justified for citizens to take violent action against the government, or is it never justified? [from CBS poll]
Republican 28% yes, 64% no
Democrat 11% yes, 81% no
Indepdent 11% yes, 81% no
The number for Democrats and Independents is way too high, but for Republicans, I would have expected it to be higher.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
6:20 You got me by a full minute I’m now 3 of 13.
I expected you to take that one.
Just goes to show you that expectations are not always met. 🙂
Sorry, the failure was all mine.
As someone commented, bet if you drew a Venn Diagram for those that think the earth is only 6,000 years old, deny global warming, believe Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and thought Dubya was doing a “heck of a job” – those 28% RepubliKKKaaners who think violence against our government is okey-dokey would all fit in the same in circle.
What about the Cheney/Rove set?
TC,
My score was so bad I’ve already blocked it out. Hope you feel better soon man.
I agree with what SoINeedAName wrote, and the number sounds about right.
Better luck, my friend.
