Yesterday, volunteer work took up a major part of the day and will again today. I managed to reply to comments and hope to do so again today, but can’t promise.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today it took me 4:44 (average 6:28). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Short Takes:
From Minneapolis City Pages: There’s no religious test for being a congressman. But never mind that. Tea Party Nation leader and founder Judson Phillips wants Rep. Keith Ellison thrown out of office because he’s Muslim.
The Constitution specifically state that there shall ne no religious test to hold office, making it clear that the founding fathers intended public office to be open to members of all faiths. Republican Brownshirts dismiss the Constitution whenever it’s conve
From Washington Post: Angle’s closing argument couldn’t be any clearer, could it? This is Brown vs. White. Latinos are coming here to take your money, your jobs, and your kids’ scholarships, and if you don’t vote for Angle, Harry Reid will let them get away with it.
Republican racism is usually cloaked under sheets and hoods. This degree of openness about it betrays desperation.
From Right Wing Watch: The Family Research Council’s Tony Perkins tells NPR that gay teens know they are "abnormal," which makes them suicidal.
Republican Theocons always duck the consequences of their gospel of hate and say, “Who, me?”
Cartoon:
This is the last hump day of the cycle. Don’t be humped. Vote!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Oddly enough teabag is a sexual practice and I find it funny as hell that Fox news and the Koch brothers co-opted, took on and financed the term so many identify themselves with. I think Fox was simply telling all the Beckerheads and Ditto heads what they really thought of the grass roots movement.
Ya think? I think they were so unaware that they did not know.
A school board member in Midland, Arkansas decided to one-up Reich-winger Perkins’ lunacy that being gay made them suicidal, by openly encouraging “fags” to kill themselves:

And if you’re inclined to share your thoughts about removing this cretin from the school board member, you can contact Dean Stanley, the Superintendent of Schools, several ways:

geez!
They’ve been trying to oust Keith Ellison from before he took office – they swore he took the oath on the Koran – a grave sin in their eyes. (He used the Constitution.) Get over yourselves. 🙄
Sharon Angle (R-Dumass) is nothing more than a racist bigot. How she got this far and is doing so well in the polls is beyond me. I know Harry is a wet noodle, but come on. 🙄
Tony Perkins should be shot in the head for that stupid comment. I’d prefer torture, but I’m against it, but for him, I’ll make an exception.
I already voted yesterday – there was only one person ahead of me. I took my walker so people would have pity on me and let me cut in line (I know that’s bad, but last year I had to stand for 1.5 hours and I couldn’t walk for 3 days). But I didn’t have to use the pity excuse! And they even had a handicrapped spot where I could fill out my ballot and sit down – cool! 😆
The Koran belonged to Thomas Jefferson.
Harry should have been taken out in the primary.
Naw.
Considering your health issues, you did the right thing.
5:51 tough one
It was.
