Yesterday the heat was extreme, much worse than yesterday, limiting me severely.  Today I’ll be sleeping if it cools off.

Jig Zone Puzzle:

Today it took me 3:37 (average 4:31).  To do it, click here.  How did you do?

Short Takes:

From Huffington Post: Maxine Waters tells it!

Go Maxine!

From Reuters: Muammar Gaddafi’s presidential guard has surrendered to Libya’s rebels.

Whatever I don’t like about our intervention in Libya, there will be no end to it while he remains.

From Think Progress: Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R), who in June told voters that he was β€œalso unemployed,” has applied for a permit to bulldoze his 3,000-square-foot, $12 million home in La Jolla, California, and replace it with one nearly four times its size. According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, the new home will be two stories and more than 11,000 square feet. Romney also owns a $10 million estate in New Hampshire. His campaign declined to comment on the renovation plans.

Just a working stiff! πŸ™„

  1. 5:19 I don’t know about Mitt being a “working” stiff, but I see him on TV and he looks stiff, all right! 😈

  2. Gotta love former White House spokesman Bill Burton “bitch slapping” Karl Rove – with Bonus Points for doing it on Faux News Sunday:

    BURTON: — But as someone who is a leader in the White House that turned a record surplus into a deficit that got us involved in a war that we never shouldn’t have been in and turned the floor of the New York Stock Exchange into a casino, I don’t think the American people are quite ready to hear a lecture from you on good governance.

    More of this, please!

    • Amen to that Nameless. I was quite surprised that Faux allowed it to be aired. Do you think it means they are throwing the old guard criminals under the buss, to support the brown-shirts?

  3. 3:51 I am stuck on 71 wins. Overall, I am 71 out of 234 (303).

  4. BREAKING:
    Congressional Repubicans have refused to accept Muammar al-Qaddafi’s surrender – unless accompanied by cuts to Medicare and Social Security, and with NO revenue increases!

  5. Give ’em hell Maxine!
