Yesterday was extremely busy, and I am quite pooped. Nevertheless, I’m current on replies.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today it took me 3:54 (4:43 average). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Short Takes:
From AFP/Google: US President Barack Obama’s military commanders have said he ignored their advice for a more modest drawdown from Afghanistan and warned his decision carries risks for the war effort.
Both General David Petraeus and Admiral Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Obama’s plan to withdraw 33,000 surge troops by the end of next summer was more "aggressive" than they had recommended.
In trying to make everybody happy, he satisfied nobody.
From Think Progress: Herman Cain called reporters who quoted his infamous three-page bill pledge “stupid.” “Some of these idiotic reporters thought I was serious,” he said yesterday, the Los Angeles Times reports.
Brothers and sisters, the mark of Cain is the GOP Logo! 😉
From The Nation: In a run-off election completed this week, the nation’s 40,000 Transportation Security Administration employees voted to become members of the American Federation of Government Employees.
Not only is this a big win for labor, but union work standards will help make our nation more secure.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Good for the TSA employees. Just in time for a national labor action strike.
Works for me!
Yesterday Memphis Johnny was complimenting you on your SCOTUS/WalMart cartoon – but wanted them in their blue vests. Well, great minds apparently think alike …

Dang that’s good! It demonstrates how poor my efforts are compared to a pro like Matson.

A strike would be really funny right now. No more groping at the airports.
Not bad, Patty!
If you can’t be groped, will you be postponing your vacation? 😈
3:46 The doggy came through for me again! I am 57 out of 175 (326).
Today I nailed the son of as beach.
A half-nation tour from a half-wit — seems appropriate.
Amen to that!
