I’m still pretty ill, but I am up to date on replies. Yesterdays big SOTU post just wiped me out and I spent the next 18 hours in bed, except for a couple sandwich breaks. I hope to return visits this weekend.

Jig Zone Puzzle:

Today it took me 3:42 (average 4:11). To do it, click here. How did you do?

Short Takes:

From Newsweek: Obama intentionally did not mention gun control in his State of the Union, but aides say that in the next two weeks the administration will unveil a campaign to get Congress to toughen existing laws.

I’m pleased to learn that he has not forgotten this important issue and the need to disarm crazies before Republican rhetoric whips them to commit violent acts.

From TPM: Sarah Palin: The Soviet Union collapsed because the Soviets spent so much money winning the space race.

I wonder if Drill Baby Death-threats has considered the effects of the arms race.

Cartoon:

Think elections when you drive today: D for ahead, R for backwards.

Glad you had a cartoon. The rest of today’s columns were beyond depressing.

Don’t think that means I want you to quit showing the truth, no matter how ugly it is.

Hope you feel better soon.

Professionally speaking, just remember your health comes first – so take whatever time you need to get well!

  Thanks nameless. I can sit here or I can sit on the bed. When I’m tired, I lay down.

The only people that need assault rifles are people that need to kill people, i.e., those at war.

Please, please make the Tundra Twat STFU. She can’t get ANYTHING right.

Great cartoon!
