I’m still in pain, but it hurts whether or not I’m blogging. I’m current with replies. Tomorrow depends on what the day brings.

Today’s took me 3:41 (average 4:19). To do it, click here. How did you do?

About some things, Republicans don’t change.
From Bloomberg: First-time claims for jobless benefits fell last week to a one-month low, helping allay concern that the labor market may suffer an extended setback.
Jobless claims dropped by 1,000 to 367,000 in the period ended May 5, in line with the median forecast in a Bloomberg News survey and the lowest since the end of March, the Labor Department said today in Washington. The number of people on unemployment benefit rolls was the smallest since July 2008.
Despite Republican’s best efforts to prevent recovery, slow improvement goes on.
From Opposing Views:
This morning Cher caused another stir on Twitter when she tweeted: “If ROMNEY gets elected I don’t know if i can breathe same air as Him & his Right Wing Racist Homophobic Women Hating Tea Bagger Masters.”
About a half hour earlier, Cher responded to a Twitter user who said she must have lost half of her fans. Cher responded: “Thank God I Got the half that thinks!”
This has to be one of the classic comebacks of all time. Major kudos to Cher!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
As a balm for caring and compassionate Christians following North Carolina’s passing their hate-mongering Constitutional Amendment banning gay marriages, we’d to well to remember it’s NOT the first time the “fine folks” (“Well, bless their hearts” …. and I mean that in the True Sense of that Southern phrase) of the Tar Heel state got it wrong.
That’s the next step!
Puzzle — Made the average, just!
MoveOn — I hope Daddy Warbucks there chokes on his cigar! Want to bet it’s Cuban! They sure are masters of the spin and the spin in no way relates to reality!
Hey, speaking of Daddy Warbucks, did you hear about Rmoney being a school bully when he was enrolled in a Michigan prep school. It was all over the news here today. Apparently he held a boy down who was suspected of being gay and cut off all his hair. He says he doesn’t remember it. Denial? or selective memory? I guess things haven’t changed for him very much — only now he is bullying women, gays, the poor and he’s still denying it!
Bloomberg Jobless Claims — Inspite of Republican/Teabagger obstruction, things are still moving forward! Oops, there’s that communist word again (See Rachel Maddow’s discussion of the word ‘forward’ as it even leaves Richard Nixon looking like a communist — all in fun!). I certainly would like to rub some Republican/Teabagger nose in their own caca like some people do with naughty puppies.
Cher — Way to go Cher! She’s a smart woman, and quick on the draw!
Cartoon — Ok, I’ll admit it — I’m thick tonight. I don’t get it. Unless that is Abe Lincoln’s cabin — he being a Republican, when Republicans had honour. Today’s Republican/Teabaggers aren’t good enough to dust off Lincoln’s shoes!
The same young man who was bullied by Romney was later expelled from that school for smoking a cigarette. Yet, nothing happened to Mittens for his attacks on him. His half-assed apology sucked too.
Why am I not surprised?
Good!
Too true!
See today’s #1.
A cattle prod might be better.
Amen!
Log Cabin Republicans are the GOP gays.
Thanks for clarifying that.
With the Republican/Teabagger record on LGBT rights, what self respecting LGBT person would want to vote Republican/Teabagger, let alone be a card carying member of the Republican/Teabagger party? … well apart from Grenell who is just plain obnoxious and stupid! I guess the obnoxious gas clouded his eyes and brain!
2:29 I think that’s my best time ever.
Reaganomics never did anything beneficial for the middle class. Good graphic.The jobs situation seems to be improving slowly, but surely.
Romney breathes rarified air because he is just so much better than the rest of us. I agree with Cher. The Stephanie Miller Show was reading some of Cher’s tweets today. I just became a fan of hers again. Thank you, Cher!
Log cabin Rethugs should defect from their party. Romney wants to add an amendment to the Constitution defining marriage as a union between a man and awoman!
PffffT!!! 😛
Agree.
She even got one from me
My point exactly!
What a great time, Patty. Keep it up and you will be beating the Auto Solve times. You will be setting the fastest times.

Sad but True…. ☺
Really!
3:47 WOW! Patty really killed us today.
She has a way of doing that!
