I’m running late today due to the time it took to prepare my debate coverage. I’m current with replies. Tomorrow I plan to defrost my freezer while blogging. Ugh!
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today’s took me 4:03 (average 5:05). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Short Takes:
From MoveOn: SPOTTED: Three Signs That Say So Much About Being An Adult In America
Obviously none of the people pictured here are Republican pols.
From Washington Post: Paul Ryan visited a soup kitchen here Saturday on his way to the airport, but by the time the GOP vice presidential nominee and his family had arrived shortly before noon, the grits, sausage and doughnuts had been served, the hall was empty of patrons and the volunteers appeared to have already cleaned up…
…Ryan stood at the sink and took some large metal pans that did not appear to be dirty, soaped them up and rinsed them, remarking as the cameras clicked and the TV cameras rolled that he had spent a summer washing dishes when he was younger.
I understand that the people running the kitchen said he wasn’t invited, didn’t ask permission, didn’t help, and only got in the way.
From YouTube: Obama Ad Calls Romney ‘The Problem’ With Job Losses To China
Just a reminder that Willard wants government of, by and for vulture capitalists.

3:26 Bellissimo gatto!

3:55 What's new pussy cat? Meoooow!
What's new? The pussy cat is last! 🙄
3:49 Looks like Patty is the fast cat today.
You know, BC had 3 ferries named the fast cat ferries. They were a different design from the traditional ferries and moved much faster. They were also the biggest boondogle ever. They were sold off for a horrendous loss.
MoveOn ~ This is what the adults in the room are saying.
Washington Post ~ Not only was Lyin' Ryan not invited, he was not wanted because the organization that runs the soup kitchen is apolitical and stays that way so as not to lose much needed donations.
YouTube ~ I don't think this is the only area in which Mittens is the problem instead of the solution. The list is almost endless.
Cartoon ~ Does this mean he can pay less in taxes or he can pay people less to work? Or both?
Agree!
Thanks. I thought I had read that, but was not sure.
Amen!
Those are binders full of women, who he wants to pay less than men.
MEMO to Lyin' Ryan:
You should be ashamed of trying to take advantage of people in need by trying to score a cheap photo-op
And a graphic I made of it (although I wrote "Washing Dishes"):

And can't pass up at least one "Binders Full of Women" graphic:

Good job with photobucket, SoINeedAName.
LOL! Both are spot on! LOL @ Slick Willie! 😀
Puzzle — 3:55 What's new pussy cat? Meoooow!
MoveOn — I don't think anybody likes paying taxes, but if we want roads and other infastructure projects, a military, schools etc we have to pay taxes. That is part of the price of citizenship.
Washington Post — Yup! Pretended to wash already clean dishes. He wanted to demonstrate that he cared about the people! That is so rich! He got in the way at the soup kitchen, and he'll get in the way in the WH if he is ever elected!
YouTube — Good ad. Romney, like Lyin' Ryan, would just get in the way in the WH if he is ever elected! OMG!!! What a thought!!!
Cartoon — … or maybe this is a book of his proposals on policy — of course then the pages would be blank because he wouldn't want to let anybody see them before he is elected lest he be held to account. We all know that he will say anything to get elected and then will deliver whatever his puppet masters want!
Stated above.
I agree. Back in the days when I employed 300+, you wouldn't believe how much Social Security I paid on workers' behalf. I considered it part of my duty.
He already stands in the way of decency.
Ugly!
Nope. It's his binders of women.
I am not at all surprised that Ryan took the faux photo, he is a total sham.
Indeed he is!
