I got up early this morning to make sure I get something up before the butcher podiatrist has at my feet. As swollen as my my left foot is, I expect it to be be worse than usual. I am not current with replies, but will catch up later today if I am able. Tomorrow I expect to blog normally.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today’s took me 3:51 (average 5:10). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Short Takes:
From MoveOn: This Graphic Will Offend Your Anti-Gay Relatives – Guaranteed!
Either group fits right into today’s Republican Party!
From USA Today: Mitt Romney’s new iPhone app [Rmoney delinked] misspells the word "America" and the typo has gone viral.
As Romney clinched the GOP presidential nomination with a victory in Texas last night, his campaign released its "I’m with Mitt" app that allows users to post photos of themselves along with 14 different banners. One of those slogans reads: "A Better Amercia." [emphasis added]
They forgot to spend enough Rmoney to buy a spell checker, but it predicts human rights under a Rmoney Regime.
From MSNBC: Romney Opts for Racism. Lawrence O’Donnell and his panel cover the story.

The $2 million Rmoney raised is pocket change for him. It was not about the money. It’s about energizing racist vote. That’s why Romney put his own birth certificate on display yesterday. It’s part of the Republican No Bigot Left Behind initiative.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
3:56 Close and more than a minute under the average time, but not good enough to win today.
It’s been a long dry spell since my last.
4:24 I still suck at this!
That didn’t last!
“Amercia Teh Beautiflu”
Hell, I’d vote for Rmoney to become President of Amercia (wherever the hell THAT is). Then he’d be THEIR problem – not ours.
I fear that AmerCIA is Cia based government.
My spatial orientation is above average and my dexterity is pretty good for my age, but I’ve never come within a minute of even matching your time. What’s the deal, TC, are you using witchcraft or what? 🙂
I’m with you John. In 9 months, I’ve beaten TC once (fairly recently) and never beat Patty or Jerry. Half of the time, I’m around average plus or minus, the rest of the time, I might as well be in outer space! And I was a fine arts major in highschool and was going to study fine arts at university. Witchcraft sounds good to me!
John, I’ve done one every day for several years. Jerry and Patty are beating me regularly, so it can be done.
Puzzle — Just under the average. Cute dog but is he ever worried! Look at those worry lines above his eyes! I hear that someone told the mutt that Rmoney just won the Republican/Teabagger presidential nomination. The dog’s voting for Mr Obama! I asked!
MoveOn — Looking at some of the signs — “One Man, One Woman — for Life”? Would someone please tell me how many Republican/Teabaggers have been divorced? Amusing that the GOP has not come out with a ‘no divorce’ law! And “Race mixing is Communism”? When did human relations become an ideology? I guess we can thank Joe McCarthy and the Gullibles for that one. We don’t have to wait 40 years. We’re halfway there!
The iPhone App — Couldn’t agree more! And people are mad at Mr Obama for the NDAA! Under Rmoney, the NDAA will take on a whole new meaning!
Rmoney and Trump — I like the description of Trump — a bloviating ignoramus — and that is coming from a conservative blogger! The more times that this idiot opens his mouth, the more he demonstrate unequivocally that he IS a bloviating ignoramus. Unfortunately, there are too many people out there that will accept what he says without any critical thought. The fact that Rmoney is courting him, just shows how stupid AND bigoted Rmoney is. Rmoney has zero leadership and is nothing more than a puppet. I said months and months ago that the defacto president if a Republican/Teabagger gained the WH would be the Koch brothers. I still believe that but would change it slightly — the defacto president if a Republican/Teabagger gained the WH would be the millionaires and billionaires and corporations (not just the Kochs!). Wouldn’t surprise me if Trump found a way to fire Rmoney if he won the WH.
Vote Democrat 2012!!!!! Vote Obama/Biden 2012!!!!!
Cartoon — I hear there is an unnamed atoll in the Pacific that Rmoney could buy from the French and set up his country of Amercia. Since it has nuclear radiation from the A bomb tests, he has no worries about foreign invasions.
Good Doggie!
That was my point. The Republicans have regressed.
Under Obama, we know. Under Rmoney there would be far more and it would be secret until leaked.
The League of Bloviating Ignorami are sueing both you and Lawrence.
Amen!
An itsy bitsy teeny weenie radioactive Bikini? 😉
I don’t think it will be 40 years – more like 10-15 years.
Regardless if some flunky in the workers for Myth, someone should have caught this. Once again validating the ignorance of the R’s.
The Donald has gone around the bend; that man needs serious counseling with electro shock. Even the R’s think this man is a loon. All he’s doing for Myth is making him look bad. And what’s with the fake tan – he looks like Boehner! And what about his tax returns and grades from college – if he’s asking Obama to show them, then he show show his first to get anywhere with this. He has not done this saying that he doesn’t want to. Well, you can’t ask Obama to show his if you won’t show yours.
How about reviewing the adds for accuracy – or is that too much to ask?
You’re probably right, Lisa.
An excellent demonstration of their competence.
Whoa! No electroshock. If his hair stands on end, it will take out satellites!
Yep!
