I’m still feeling pretty crappy and need to stay down, but I did get a new poll up. I’m not current with replies, and hope I’m better tomorrow.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today’s took me 3:43 (average 5:30). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Short Takes:
From MSNBC: Bloody Bullseye Barbie Unleashed
Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
When you consider her ability to keep the rabid base enthralled, you have to wonder whether or not the InsaniTEA set have an average IQ of 70.
From Washington Post: Supreme Court justices seemed split Monday on whether a federal law intended to streamline voter-registration procedures means that states may not attach additional requirements, such as proof of citizenship.
The federal registration form that Congress says states must “accept and use” requires only that the applicant swear under oath that he or she is a citizen.
Needless to say, Roberts, Alito, Scalia and Thomas are positioned squarely against the Constitution.
From Crooks and Liars: If it’s Sunday, it’s another episode of Dancin’ David Gregory inviting Republicans to come on his show and rattle off their talking points without fear of contradiction. Karl Rove’s dance partner allowed House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy to attribute a very famous statement by Dick Cheney’s (that "deficits don’t matter") to President Obama! He also said that Democrats are the ones responsible for racking up the majority of the debt we’ve been dealing with ever since President Obama took the oath of office.
This could not be a more classic example of projection.

America needs Cruz control.

3:49 I'm bloomin' late!
4:09 I missed the blooming season. I'm the closed bud.
3:41 Interesting poésie! A little play on words — poésie = poetry in French! (Yes, I know it doesn't count but 2nd time was 3:26)
MSNBC ~ She didn't amuse me when she was the VEEP candidate and she still doesn't amuse me.
Washington Post ~ Do most of the "crazy" laws come out of Arizona?
Crooks and Liars ~ How on God's green earth was Chris VanHollen able to sit there with his mouth shut during McCarthy's babbling? I was ranting in my kitchen while listening to him.
Cartoon ~ Cruz control? Great play on words, Tom! Hats off to you.

MSNBC — Bullseye Barbie is best described by a line from Rick Santorum @ CPAC "The culture of titillation that numbs our senses." . . . well at least the senses of Republican/Teabaggers! You're being a little kind with an IQ of 70 for the InsaniTEA crowd, aren't you?
Washington Post — One of the things that really stands out for me in the US electoral system is the inequality of citizens from state to state. And Horne's comment highlights that.
This is such horse puckey! SCOTUS is wrong if it allows this inequality, after all, the Declaration of Independence says "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
Crooks and Liars — OK, I'm back! I just lost my lunch with the outright lies in that video. Who built up the deficit? Mr Obama? NO! Baby Bush, Cheney and their neocon cohorts that started an illegal war on the country's credit card and went into Afghanistan, not to mention allowing Wall Street unfettered access to the greed that toppled the economy. This Republican/Teabagger shtick is really getting old and hacknied!
Cartoon — How about a Cruz missile out into space never to be seen again! A piece of space junk!
70 would be a bit lofty wouldn't it?
