Yesterday the weather man was wrong. It never got hot, my little AC sat in the corner all day, and I enjoyed the comfort. I actually cooked supper in my pressure cooker, something I would never do on a hot day. I’m current on replies, and tomorrow I have errands to run.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today it took me 3:59 (4:53 average). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Short Takes:
From Think Progress: More Republican racism from Rush.
Am I the only one thinks he was excessively drugged in this clip?
From Christian Science Monitor: Hurricane Irene and last week’s East Coast earthquake are God’s way of telling Washington that the US government needs to cut spending, Michele Bachmann said Sunday.
Now the Queen of Crazy says she was just kidding. Why is death and destruction so amusing to Republicans?
From Think Progress: During a press conference today, Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad (R) claimed that anti-gay rhetoric and opposition to marriage equality didn’t lead to the death of Waterloo, Iowa resident Marcellus Andrews, who was called a “faggot” and other anti-gay names as he was attacked by a group of yet-to-be identified assailants.
Right! Gasoline and the matches have nothing to do with arson fires either. This is another example of “Who us?”

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
4:15 I am still not getting it done. 🙁 I am 73 out of 242 (302).
I left a small window again.
One question about Bachmann: Would you classify her as a Category 4 or Category 5 Windbag?
Category Googleplex.
I say category 6 — she’s in a league of her own!
5:03 He’s dopey! That’s why they call him “Rush”. 👿
LOL!
“Tea Party Candidate” – The VERY WORST Thing You Can Call a Candidate
And amazingly enough that’s from right-wing pollster Rasmussen. (I’ll provide the link – but if TC feels obliged to delete it for Cootie-Control, I’m fine with that.)

Biting my tongue. 😉
Go Rick Perry!
Go where?
Go away.
That works!
Bachmann sure didn’t look like she was kidding when she mentioned earthquake, hurricane and God in the same sentence. She is definitrly a bird of a different feather, my apologies to our feathered friends of the animal kingdom. She belongs in the cuckoo’s nest!
And Rush Limbaugh . . . I didn’t like him on television a number of years ago and I still don’t like his rant. I call him Rush Limberger because he stinks.
When I thought of Iowa, I used to think of MASH’s Radar O’Reilly and corn, but now I know I am wrong. The only corn I see is the hateful drivel coming out of the mouths of Iowan legislaters. There is no room in this world for such hate.
