Yesterday, installing my new UPS went smoothly. It has a desktop widget that displays power information in real time. I watched it for 20 minutes, and input voltage ranged from 93 to 122 volts. In less than 24 hours it had to intervene 3 times. Today my groceries for May are being delivered. I hope to get the blog up and lings distributed first, but that’s very unlikely. I’m current with replies. Tomorrow is a R&R day.

From MoveOn: Reason Number 203 That The GOP War On Women Is Very Real

That’s right. Almost all voted to trap women as second class workers.
From NY Times: Rick Santorum told [Frothmeister delinked] his supporters in an e-mail Monday night that he was endorsing Mitt Romney as the Republican presidential candidate and that “all hands on deck” would be needed to defeat President Obama in the fall.
This makes RMoney the Frothmeister designee.
From CBS: Democrats in Wisconsin today will nominate the candidate to face off against the contentious Republican Gov. Scott Walker in the June 5 recall election.
The most recent poll shows Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett in the lead — and with just four weeks left before the recall, Barrett and Walker are already taking swings at each other.
If a mangy, flatulent chimp, with BO and halitosis, who masturbates in public and throws feces at voters during campaign events, wins this primary… SUPPORT THE APE!
Cartoon:






Mayor Bob Buckhorn of Tampa, Fla., proudly packs a .38-caliber revolver as one of the 900,000 Floridians holding concealed-weapon permits these days. But even Mayor Buckhorn thinks it is a bad idea to allow the people who will be thronging outside the Republican National Convention in the city this August to carry concealed weapons.
