Yesterday Safeway delivered my groceries. Unpacking them and putting them them away took over two hours and wore me out. I’m up to date with comments and am wondering if I smell bad, because there were only two. Today is that most hated of days. I will be cursing the heavens, ranting, raving, fuming, frothing at the mouth and, in the process, acting almost as crazy as a Teabagger. It’s income tax day. 
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today it took me 3:46 (average 4:49). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Short Takes:
From Mediaite: Bill Maher was his usual understated self on Real Time tonight, urging everyday Americans to begin “a class war” on Wall Street.
He’s so funny. He’s also so right!
From NY Times: Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal, who was relieved of command in Afghanistan after a magazine profile quoted his subordinates as disparaging senior civilian leaders, has been invited back to public service by the Obama administration to help oversee a high-profile initiative in support of military families, White House officials said Sunday.
What are they thinking!
From CNN: France’s controversial ban on wearing Islamic veils such as burqas and niqabs takes effect Monday.
A silent protest march against the burqa ban is planned for Monday morning in Paris.
Remember freedom fries? How things change! The French are acting positively Republican.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
3:49 So close, yet so far behind. I’m 36 out of 101 (356)
And another tough one today.
Might be the best thing that’s happened to the Oregon state house in a long time:
“In Elaborate Prank, Oregon Lawmakers ‘Rickroll’ The State Legislature”
They even made a YouTube video of it:

I saw that, Nameless. Thanks! Oregonians are most amused.
I hate putting away groceries – I shopped for them, the boys can put them away. Hell, they eat most of them anyway; with 2 teen boys, I’m at the grocery store once a week so they don’t die of starvation. But taxes I like – because I’m good at them. I like to see how much I can save my neighbors and friends. I have about 6 people’s taxes to do by Monday, but they all came in late so if I have to file an extension, I will. Mine I will have to file an extension on. I have a lot of crap to file for. 🙁
There is no amount of money I would pay to see Charlie Sheen – the man is a slow motion train wreck and I’m trying not to watch. “These are my people” he said from his rooftop – what is he now – Ghandi? 👿
First Betrayus and now McCrystal – what they don’t have 400 other 4 star generals collecting a billion dollars a year for sitting on their asses from contractors that they can hire? 🙄
Why don’t they just leave these poor women alone – there’s only about 2000 of them in the whole country covering their faces – for license and passport pics I can see that. But running out getting groceries, WTF? 🙄
When working people won’t do their scut work, will they have to garden for themselves and get their own fucking coffee? I so hope so. Great cartoon. 👿
Thanks Nameless. I saw that. Oregonians are most amused. I almost blogged it, but more important Items won out.
Me too, Lisa. It takes me hours. Ouch, is this the shoemaker’s children going shoeless?
His coverage is a waste.
I just don’t understand that choice. It’s as bad as Geithner!
When they elected Sarkozy, I feared France was getting Bush lite. 🙁
Thanks
