Yesterday, from the perspective of when I will post this, was another hot one, but I’m beating it by doing my research in the morning and writing the articles in the afternoon. The “breezeway” has super-heated to 99° at 3:00 PM, put heat exhaustion is not yet sufficient to keep me from writing. Late tonight, I’ll fill in the puzzle times and post it.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today’s took me 4:33 (average 5:33). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Short Takes:
From MoveOn: You’ll Never Guess What 30,000 MoveOn Members Did After Hurricane Katrina.
This is what Democrats did, when Republicans were using the disaster to make New Orleans a white city. It shows what matters to whom.
From Crooks & Liars: Ever wonder why Bill O’Reilly gets the drop on many of his guests on The Factor? Sure, he’s a talented TV show host, but even he needs an advantage. Joe Muto describes BIllo’s typical details Billo typical work day in his new book, "An Atheist in the FOXhole: A Liberal’s Eight-Year Odyssey Inside the Heart of the Right-Wing Media"…
…I know many people often cite BIll’s editing of each segment which would always give him the upper hand, but knowing what your guest is going to say before he or she says it is not playing it fair and balanced, Billy. Your show is rigged, period.
Is it any wonder that I call him Bill O’Lielly?
From Right Wing Watch: WorldNetDaily columnist Erik Rush is reiterating his case for armed resistance against the Obama administration today, calling for a revolution [terrorist delinked]to topple President Obama just as colonists rebelled against King George III.
According to Rush, Obama is creating a government of “absolute despotism” and along with Attorney General Eric Holder is trying to “enslave the people.” Rush asks: “Is this not an identical situation to that in which America’s founders found themselves – and which they became willing to fight to overcome?”
He argues that Obama is trying to “import” Muslims, whom he claim are part of a “retrograde cult of oppression and death,” into the U.S. and turn them into “Obama’s cutthroat foot soldiers” who might be “mobilized to rise up, paralyze America with widespread terror attacks, and incite the chaos that will necessitate martial law and an end to our free society.”
How Republican!! Lies, projection, hate, terrorism, bigotry, pseudo-Christianity, TEAbuggery and sedition, all in one brief statement!!!

4:24 Am I running hot or cold on this one?
3:56 I guess it depends which you like better — cold or hot! Personally I like cold so I guess I'm running cold! Maybe the cold got to your feet and you're slower today?
3:58 I worked on me. I'm a little slower today.
Bigfooted!
Just make sure you don't overdo things in the heat. Stay well!
MoveOn ~ I'm sure this comes as no surprise to most of us who read your blog. 30,000 Good Samaritans! Bless them all.
Crooks & Liars ~ I'm surrise he has changed his name legally to Bill O'Lielly. It does suit him.
Right Wing Watch ~ I most certainly hope that this seditionist is being watched by our Government. I realize we are guaranteed Freedom of Speech. But, are we guaranteed the right to incite people to violence?
Thank's. I'm trying.
Amen, Parrt!
You mean 'hasn't', right? Agree!
Some speech ia a crime.
"hasn't" Damn typos!
I am the KING of typo!
Puzzle — 3:56 I guess it depends which you like better — cold or hot! Personally I like cold so I guess I'm running cold!
Move On — Amen! The compassionate human thing to do!
Crooks and Liars — "…not playing it fair and balanced, Billy. Your show is rigged, period." Of course it is! O'Lielly is not a particularly intelligent person. He can't go toe to toe with anyone with honest. He's manipulative and deceitful.
Right Wing Watch — Obama ≠ King Georgie III.
"Lies, projection, hate, terrorism, bigotry, pseudo-Christianity, TEAbuggery and sedition, all in one brief statement!!!" I couldn't have said it better TC. This idiot needs to be tried and imprisoned for sedition, because surely inciting people to rise up with violence against the democratically elected government is sedition!
Cartoon — Interesting that 2 successive POTUSs have had Rice for NSA. They could not be any different if they tried!
Your time was pretty hot, however.
Amen to that!
Exactly!
I fdelly agrree, except they would think you insulted Georgie with the comparison.
My point exactly!.
Billo is, was, has been and always will be an ego-maniacal, self-aggrandizing, blow-hard of the alter-reality which is Bill's world of propagandic, Reichwing, Teabugging BULLSHIT of the nth degree. I cannot stomach even to see him on shows like the Daily News talking to Jon Stewart. Makes me want to give a Pavlovian response to hurl every single time. Kinda like what Darth Cheney Vader and Baby Bush elicit within me.
Why is Eric Rush still allowed to walk around a free man? He is calling for a revolt — an armed revolt, is that not Sedition? Oh wait…..he's a Bagger and therefore, gets a free pass for the Rethugs….who are also, in their way, being seditious. Nevermind.
What lovcely compliment's for O'Lielly!
That's the way I see it.
