I’m writing articles now, and I’m not sure how the day will go down. At some point, I need to go out to run errands, but I’m not sure when yet. I’m current with replies. Tomorrow appears routine.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today’s took me 3:50 (average 5:48). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Short Takes:
From MoveOn: What Would Happen If Male Nurses Were Paid $848 Less Per Week?
A lot more than what's happening now, due to the Republican War on Women!
From ABC: Peter Madoff, the younger brother of Ponzi scheme mastermind Bernard Madoff, was arrested at his lawyer's Manhattan office today.
Madoff was taken to the FBI's Manhattan offices to have a DNA sample taken, be photographed and fingerprinted.
Madoff, 66, is expected to plead guilty later today to securities fraud for his role in the scheme for which his brother is already serving 150 years in jail.
Another vulture capitalist bites the dust.
From Columbus Dispatch: President Barack Obama was standing outside the Oval Office when he saw the news on television just after 10 a.m. Two networks, CNN and Fox News, were reporting the Supreme Court had struck down the centerpiece of his landmark health-care law.
They assumed that what they wanted to happen had happened.

I liked Ike!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Puzzle — Well my time was so bad, it was doggone funny! That is one sad looking pooch! Must be reacting to my time!
MoveOn — That is so much bear scat! I remember having to train young men who thought that they would be branch managers (Canadian banking system) in 90 days! I had worked 12 years and I was an assistant branch manager, but these bozos thought 90 days was too long to train. Oh, and when I found one with attitude, the wrong attitude, did I ever have fun!
Women work just as hard as men, and I dare say in my time, we had to work harder just to move up the ladder, because often we want the same things — meaningful work that we are good at and challenges us and provides decent pay.
Peter Madoff — Well, as you say TC, another one bites the dust!
Columbus Dispatch — This comment on the Dispatch's article:
"And people wonder why we can't trust the media anymore. Two of the largest news agencies in the world blew it. I can understand Fox's wishful thinking, but CNN?"
Obviously someone doesn't realise that Faux Noise aka Fox News is not a real 'news agency' but a Republican/Teabagger shill, their propaganda section! CNN, well . . .
Cartoon — I laugh at the idea of a country so large having only state highways! You might get to the state border and be met with an open field, or go from paved to dirt road (at least the states talked about two roads meeting, but . . . ). A national highway system to more effectively move goods and people, a grand idea.
LOL!
Amen.
Thanks.
Amen again!
If Republicans have there way, State highways is all that will be left when the Interstates crumble.
