Yesterday it was not as hot and I rested to get over the exhaustion of missed sleep, but I was too tired to sleep well. Today should be quite cool. I’m current on replies.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today it took me 3:34 (average 4:41). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Short Takes:
From LA Times: Austan Goolsbee is stepping down as chairman of President Obama’s Council of Economic Advisors, the White House announced Monday night, shaking up the economic team just as the recovery is sputtering.
Goolsbee, one of the administration’s primary spokesmen on the economy, will return to his position as an economics professor at the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business, the announcement said.
Why couldn’t it be Timmy?
From Common Dreams: Joe Harris, the Emergency Manager in Benton Harbor, has issued an order informing all city officials and employees that they are not to attend city commission meetings without his written permission.
WJSM reports that the one exception to this rule is for the city clerk who is to take the minutes of the city commission meetings.
Additionally, the order from Harris goes on to state that the city clerk must attach language to the minutes of all Benton Harbor Commission meetings stating that any resolution passed by the body has no legal effect.
This is the poor town where the Snyder Reich want to steal the people’s lakefront park to build a golf course for the rich folks in a neighboring town.
From Right Wing Watch: The American Family Association’s Ed Vitagliano and Buster Wilson dedicated their radio show AFA Report to discuss their outrage that President Obama issued a proclamation declaring June LGBT Pride Month. Vitagliano, the editor of AFA Journal, lamented the deleterious consequences of the President’s proclamation.
I guess I’m still straight, even though I forgot how, but I’m proud to celebrate the month in support of my LGBT friends and neighbors.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Move to Michigan! where the political theater is not just a play on the stage, we use real bullets here to murder democracy!
I figured I’d hear from you on this one, and the necessity saddens me.
Yeah, why not Timmy? Or Bernanke? I’d be happy with either one.
I’d be happier with both.
Wait, you have another emergency manager in Benton Harbor? What the fuck for? And why can’t city employees attend the meeting? Any why is anything they say non-binding? This smells to high heaven. I’d like to see the ruling on this emergency manager crap (done by the governor no less) and see what this says and what powers this emergency manager has. 😡
In my opinion Snyder has voilated the Constitution.
Whatever Right wing watch, get the fuck over yourselves. Gay people are not going away. 🙄
Lisa, Right Wing Watch didn’t say it. They exposed and condemned it.
Sarah Palin is not just an idiot, I think she’s mentally deranged. I’m surprised she can dress herself in the morning. 😆
Perhaps she has staff to make sure she doesn’t go on camera nekked. 😉
5:18 maybe I’m getting better.
It should have been Timmy of Benny who resigned. I liked Austin.
Both.
Sarah Palin is not just an idiot. She is also vain, mouthy, impulsive, reckless, immature, INSECURE, and VERY self-centered. She is someone we can easily do without. Permanently.
Wise words, Jack.
4:54 🙁 Not even in the ballpark with this one. I’m 49 out of 158 (310).
Good one Patty. You are going to be beating me soon!
Jerry, wide open door today.
