Yesterday my articles were late, because I was so tired that I fell asleep at the keyboard. After my blog work was done, I had breakfast, napped, had lunch, napped, had dinner, napped and slept late so I’m running behind again. I am current on replies. Today I have errands to run.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today it took me 4:09 (average 5:14). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Fantasy Football:
Those to whom I sent notices have one more day. I’ll be posting the ID and password for Lefty Blog Friends tomorrow.
Short Takes:
From Detroit Free Press: Michigan native Mitt Romney and U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann are neck and neck in a new poll of likely participants in Iowa’s Republican presidential caucuses.
Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, claims 23%, and Bachmann, a tea partier from Minnesota, has 22%. Neither has done heavy lifting in Iowa. Retired pizza CEO Herman Cain of Georgia is in third, with 10%.
I’d be happy for us to run against either.
From The Vile Plutocrat: A group backed by 81 major companies — including McDonald’s, Lowe’s, General Dynamics, American Airlines, IBM and General Mills — is lobbying against new rules that would force disclosure of how much more their chief executive makes than the typical worker.
Is it any surprise that they don’t want us to know?
From Right Wing Watch: Despite the common refrain that the Tea Party doesn’t care about social issues like gay rights, today the Tea Party Nation emailed its members a post by right-wing activist Alan Caruba on the dangers of marriage equality and anti-bullying programs. Caruba, who once called marriage equality “an act of societal suicide,” discussed how Tea Party activists need to stop “the queering of America.”
Anyone who believes the Teabaggers aren’t about “social issues”, please send me your credit card numbers, pins, and validation codes to claim your share of a multi-billion dollar fortune. 😈

Great cartoon! 😈 Notice there ain’t no sissy Republicans out there help’n ’em shore it up! 👿
Johnny, Republicans don’t fix disasters. They cause them.
4:29 A little too slow. I am 57 out of 177 (322).
And today’s challenge is the greater one.
I’d take Mittens any day over Batshit Bachmann. At least he’s sane.
I’m shocked they don’t want us to know, but the info in the proxy statements is so vague that you can’t tell shit from shinola. Good luck, even with the proxy figuring out what they make. Our CEO used to say “I didn’t make the money they put in the proxy.” Well, then who did, ’cause those are real numbers, your alternate personality? 🙄
I agree, you can send them to me too! They are all about social issues.
Yep, a train wreck, that’s the Repub party.
