Yesterday I didn’t get any visiting in, because I felt so bad, but I am up to date on comments.  I’m feeing a little better.  Today is the highest holy day in the Church of the Ellipsoid Orb: the Super Bowl.  I shall be in rapt meditation.  I decided to favor the Packers, because they are a community owned, non profit entity.

Jig Zone Puzzle:

Today it took me 4:45 (average 6:05).  To do it, click here.  How did you do?

Short Takes:

From Aljazeera: As the Egyptian government tries to get the country back to work, security has been tightened around Tahrir Square.

Banks and businesses are re-opening, but the pro-democracy protesters are still out there with their demand for the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak.

I would not support an interim government under VP Omar Suleiman, GW Bush’s point man for torture, unless the protesters agree to it.  Obama is backing the wrong guy.  He’s Egypt’s Cheney.

From NY Times: A planned trip by former President George W. Bush to Switzerland this week has been canceled in the face of threatened large-scale protests and calls for an investigation into whether his administration committed human rights abuses in the fight against terrorism.

Texas Torquemada remains an international pariah.  Our credibility would be greatly enhanced if Obama would unleash DOJ to obey the law and prosecute him, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Gonzales, Yoo and many more.

Enjoy the game!

    TC, sorry to hear about your yesterday – but glad to hear you’re feeling better today. To brighten your day, I wanted to be sure you didn’t miss this little gem wherein Sarah Palin demonstrates she speaks fluent Arabic:

    “And nobody yet has, nobody yet has explained to the American public what they know, and surely they know more than the rest of us know who it is who will be taking the place of Mubarak and no, not, not real enthused about what it is that that’s being done on a national level and from D.C. in regards to understanding all the situation there in Egypt. And, in these areas that are so volatile right now, because obviously it’s not just Egypt but the other countries too where we are seeing uprisings, we know that now more than ever, we need strength and sound mind there in the White House. We need to know what it is that America stands for so we know who it is that America will stand with. And, we do not have all that information yet.”

    (From her jabbering on the Christian Broadcast Network – I’m NOT providing a link)

    I don’t have a decoder ring to decipher that gibberish – BUT I do have “Sarah Palin’s Debate Flow Chart” that’s good for a hearty chortle:

    Palin gives new meaning to incoherency. Is this a mind that should be in the White House?!? 🙄
