Yesterday I worked around the apartment and rested. I could not sleep during the evening and have to get up earl this morning for grocery delivery, so it’s going to be a rough day. I am current with comments.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today it took me 3:42 (average 4:38). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Short Takes:
From LA Times: In California, where congressional elections have been as predictable as traffic gridlock, new political maps are likely to set the stage for more competitive races and give the state a higher profile in the battle for Congress.
Political analysts predict that Democrats — who hold a 33-19 advantage in the state’s House delegation, with one vacancy in a seat previously held by a Democrat — could pick up three to five more.
Competitive districts means Republicans did not Gerrymander them. Fair favors Democrats.
From NY Times: Every once in a while a politician comes up with an idea that’s so bad, so wrongheaded, that you’re almost grateful. For really bad ideas can help illustrate the extent to which policy discourse has gone off the rails.
And so it was with Senator Joseph Lieberman’s proposal, released last week, to raise the age for Medicare eligibility from 65 to 67.
Giving LIEberscum Homeland Security is one of Reid’s worst blunders.
From News Hounds: Last Saturday (6/4/11), Cavuto on Business focused on the debt crisis. Charles Payne said, “One thing I wonder is, where’s the next greatest generation? Who’s gonna step up and answer the call? Because right now, Paul Ryan is like Paul Revere.
Now, try to tell me that Faux Noise isn’t the Republican Reichsministry of Propaganda.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Time: 8:02 Man, I’m getting good!
Faux Noise isn’t the Republican Reichsministry of Propaganda. (JUST JOKING, HaHa! relax)
Good? Hell, that’s great! I’ve never broken the double-digit time barrier – so I don’t ever post ’em. (Well, I did that one time when I used the automatic-solver … but I doubt that counts.)
Give it time guys. 🙂
File this under: “Too Cute Not To Share – Mother Cat Hugs Her Sleeping Kitten”
I used to hate getting those emails from family/friends of some joke/photo/video – but I think people have really upped their filters on them, so they’re now enjoyable. After all, over 26 MILLION viewers can’t be wrong:

Cute is an understatement!
4:19 You are still too fast for me. I am 50 out of 164 (305).
I left a better opportunity today.
I don’t think we’ll lose those seats – not with Ryan’s budget hanging over their head with a tax deduction for the rich at 25%.
Good point.
Giving Lieberdouche any head of any committee is wrong headed – especially after he campaigned with McCain. It won’t matter if they raise the age to 67 if Medicare won’t be there according to Ryan’s plan. REMOVE THE FUCKING CAP ALREADY. This is not that hard. 🙄
Lisa, the cap is for Social Security, not Medicare.
Comparing Ryan to Paul Revere is a sin against history.
Amen!
You suggested it and presented false evidence to Congress for your fake war for oil and them trying to kill your daddy. YOU OWN THE IRAQ WAR AND ALL THE SHITTY THINGS THAT HAPPENED THERE INCLUDING 4000+ DEAD AMERICANS YOU ASSHOLE. 😡 😡 😡
We were Bushwhacked.
WOW! 4:13 I beat the average for a change!
I have nothing else to say at this time.
You beat me too! 🙁 I will congratulate you…this time, but let’s not make a habit of it. OK? 😀
Good job, Patty!
Patty, when I fiest started doing them years ago, it was over a year before I could beat ythe average frequently. Way to go!
