Yesterday I did volunteer work with a therapy group of former prisoners. Even though that cuts my morning sleep time short, it’s much too fulfilling not to do, but I’m pretty useless when I get home. I’m up to date with comments. Today, I have work to do on my volunteer groups’ website and prep work for tomorrow night’s volunteer work.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today it took me 3:20 (average 4:34). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Short Takes:
From LA Times: Rick Santorum, the former Pennsylvania senator who was suspended from a paid gig with Fox News Channel in March, returned to the network Wednesday night to announce that he was forming an exploratory committee to run for president.
This is the creep that earned the title “Man on Dog”, because hen equated same sex marriages with bestiality.
From Reuters: New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is often mentioned as a presidential contender, but fewer than one in four voters in his home state would back him as a candidate, a poll released on Thursday said.
I feel sorry for the state where I grew up, but they elected him. Let the buyers’ remorse grow across the country.
From US News: Donald Trump … frontrunner? That was the news out of yesterday’s CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey. Fully 19 percent of Republicans identified The Donald as their number one choice as party standard-bearer in the quest to evict Barack Obama from the White House. An equal number supported former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, while former half-term Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (12 percent), former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (11 percent), and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (11 percent), rounded out the Republican top five.
LOL! The Donald is using them for press. Upchuck Huck has more skeletons than Halloween. Newter is infamous for losing the House. Few pay attention to Blood-libel Barbie anymore. Then comes the so-called front runner.
Cartoon:
90% of Republicans have VD. (That was not intended to be a factual statement.)

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Oh no, not Rick Sanitorium! Please tell me he’s not running for President. Holy crap! Do they even have a viable candidate?
Oh I feel sorry for those poor NJ residents, left alone in a major snow storm of historic proportions to deal with it by themselves. At least the Newark mayor took care of his people – he was remarkable, shoveling snow, bringing diapers to a mother who couldn’t get out, digging people out of parking spaces – he was unbelievable. Who goes on vacation with their LT Gov on vacation as well, which they just elected for this very purpose and leaves no one in charge? That’s just f’ing crazy right there. Who knew he could be such an asshole. Newark airport was closed for 3 friggin days – you know what that did to people trying to get to NY?
Oh not The Donald anyone but him. That bad hair alone should disqualify him from the presidency alone. I’ll take Mitt instead – Mitt can be reasonable. But the Donald has gone around the bend on the birther route.
I love your statement at the end. Jon Kyl up there saying that 90% of Planned Parenthood’s procedures were abortion – “That was not intended to be a factual statement” on the floor of the Congress? You lied because it furthered your cause. FU Repub’s – you’d sell your own mother if you thought it would get the press on you.
No. Mitt and Paws are the class of their act.
I can imagine, Lisa. I grew up in Atlantic City. NJ snow runs wet and heavy.
If they have even half a brain, their nominees will be two no Trump.
Thanks. There will be more of those.
3:16 I did excel! I think this is the fastest I have ever done a puzzle. I’m now 38 out of 104 (365).
Excellent Jerry. Today you will have to beat my fastest time ever on a puzzle.
There should be a #90% hashtag for twitter, so everybody could throw in their “not meant to be a factual statements.”
Marva, the hash-tag going viral there is
