Yesterday I did chores around the house, but I has trouble sleeping so I’m bleary eyed again. I am current on replies.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today it took me 3:02 (average 4:27). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Short Takes:
From Politico: Striking what advocates believe is a historic victory for gay rights, the New York state senate Friday approved same-sex marriage, New York a promised governor’s signature away from being the sixth and largest state to allow gays and lesbians to marry.
The 33-29 vote is an enormous victory for first-year Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat who pledged during last fall’s campaign to push for gay marriage.
A big win for the good guys!
From Reuters: Six men were indicted on federal drug charges on Friday in connection with more than 90,000 marijuana plants stumbled on by bear hunters in a remote patch of forest that local authorities described as the largest cannabis farm ever found in Oregon.
I wondered why bears in Oregon have been so happy lately. 😉
From Common Dreams: The leaders of two behemoth Karl Rove-associated unlimited donation campaign fundraising groups on Friday promised to spend $120 million against Democrats in the 2012 election cycle, much of it in the form of attack ads.
We knew it was coming. It will take millions of our voices to drown them out.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
5:29 I really stink today!
The advocates of same sex unions burst into a spontaneos rendering of “Goin’ to the Chapel” when it was announced last night. I was watching Rachel Maddow when it happened.
The bear hunters should have minded their own business!
Cool!
Amen.
Are bear hunters stupid? Have they forgot how to steal? 😈
LOL!
Huge congratulations to New York for a vote that benefits humankind! As Rosie O’Donnell tweeted: “Happy Gays are here again!”
LOLOL!
3:37 Great time, TomCat. No one will beat you at 3:02. I am 57 out of 176 (324).
Thanks Jerry. While not guaranteed, picking should be better for you today.
Wow, congrats to my Home State. (Everyone here in IL are like “You’re not from around here are you?” Even though I’ve lived in IL most of my life. That’s where I get my “I’m not taking any shit from you people” attitude!) People here still say that to me. (lol) Oh, and my driving skills (I’ve even been complimented by men) for my driving skills, even though I didn’t grow up driving in NY – every time I drive across the state line I say “Time to start driving like an asshole” even though I drive like that all the time. 😆 I’ve cut off cabs in downtown NY, that’s how good I am.
I am so glad for NY, Cuomo, and for doing the right thing in my home state! Congats to everyone including all my LGBT friends! Woo-hoo! 😆 😆 😆
I lived in NYC long enough to know that cutting off cans can be hazardous to your health.
Amen!
OMG, that’s hilarious! No wonder why there have been no bear attacks in Oregon – they are all to mellow from eating all the pot! Proving once again, that if we legalized marijuana, crime would go wayyyy down. And I do mean for every one, not just people who need it like me who are sick. I do mean EVERYONE. The cops would have nothing to do! There would only be people getting arrested for going too SLOW on the highways.
Oh, you mean the Kock brothers. Well, we can certainly match that. Bah!
OMG, I hope that pic is from the 70’s or something. Otherwise, we have some really serious work to do! Not that we don’t have serious work to do now, but that pic is frightening! Please tell me that’s from the 70’s or China! Holy crap, Batman! 😯
I’m afraid Oregonians might start smoking bear poo. 🙄
Actually Koch is in a different crowd than Rove.
Sorry.
