Yesterday my eyes improves slightly, but they are still flowing and limiting me. I am current on replies.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today it took me 3:16 (average 4:06). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Short Takes:
From Houston Chronicle: President Barack Obama, predicting that oil and gas companies will report "outsized profits" this quarter, urged Congress on Tuesday to eliminate tax breaks that he said provide the oil and gas industry with more than $4 billion in annual subsidies.
When Agent Orangs agreed this should be discussed, he lied. No way will the GOBP go along with this.
From Mediaite: Bill Maher and David Letterman discuss the Tea Party.
Useful fools is an understatement.
From Mother Jones: Last August, two prisoners escaped from an Arizona penitentiary and fled to New Mexico, where they ambushed a couple, shot them to death, and lit their bodies on fire inside a trailer.
These fugitives didn’t escape from just any facility: They were housed in a privately run prison managed by the Utah-based Management Training Corporation. After the incident, a review by the Arizona Department of Corrections concluded that the prison had poorly trained staff and deficient equipment—including a faulty security system that emitted so many false alarms, the prison staff simply ignored it.
Trust me. I know. Private prisons are a joke, and CCA is no better. If Republican governors gave a hoot about public safety, they would not be rushing to privatize their prisons.
Cartoon:
It’s hump day. Bagger butt is open for business. (That was not intended to be a factual statement.)

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
When the FED started to de-value the dollar by printing more and more and more gas prices started to rise. Not that I don’t think we do not need to not give that $4,000,000,000 to Shell (et al) but show some good faith and tell the thugs you want it all put down on the deficit spending to help fund government through this year. Make ’em squirm on that pin point. 4 billion is nothing in the over all scheme of the US economy.
That’s true Mark. Also devaluing the dollar has been a wealth transfer device.
whoops a doubel negative made a positive but you get the point I am pretty sure.
No Problem. 🙂

Thanks AP. Article coming. It was never about the birth certificate. It was always about Republican racism.
