Yesterday my eyes continued to improve and I spent a couple hours researching a problem with Windows Update. I am current on replies, which took almost no effort today. The place was dead.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today it took me 3:37 (average 4:59). To di it, click here. How did you do?
Short Takes:
From USA Today: Now that retired U.S. District judge Vaughn Walker has revealed he is in a committed relationship with a man, do grounds exist to cancel his ruling that California’s ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional?
Only if men with women, women with men, women with women and Teabaggers with sheep are also barred from ruling on it.
From Washington Post: Starting this week, the talk in our nation’s capital will be dominated by whether Congress should raise the debt ceiling — as if we have any choice but to pay off our obligations. It will be a colossally foolish and self-destructive battle, another sign of how fanaticism and ideological obsession are rendering our country ungovernable.
The fanaticism and ideological obsession are exclusively in the Republican demesne. After all, they are the only ones holding the nation’s credit worthiness hostage.
Cartoon:
Monday is go to work with a Bagger day. Use spurs! (That was not intended to be a serious statement.)

LMAO!
It looks like my comment disappeared. I did the puzzle in 3:25, I think.
It never made it Jerry. Had it been misdirected into SPAM, I would have gotten it. A win for you. 🙂
Looks like ole Judge Vaughan will have to recuse himself from the next prop hate vote.
If we don’t raise the debt ceiling on the US credit, we will default on our loans. That will have world wide implications. S&P is already talking about down rating our debt from AAA credit. If that happens, the whole world and their markets will collapse. Go ahead, Repubs, cause a world wide credit crisis. Everyone else, take your money out of the stock market and put it in cash.
Great cartoon.
Why should he, since people in heterosexual relationships do not?
Bingo.
Thanks!
