Yesterday I kept up to date on comments and returned visits. I have to be out part of today for errands, and I’m having a problem with Windows. I’ll need to do a partial reinstall of the OS, so today will depend on how well that goes.

Today it took me 3:53. To do it, click here. How did you do?

Short Takes:
From Crooks and Liars: I saw this and I couldn’t believe it. But then I thought, well, Boehner’s only saying out loud what some Democrats seem to believe anyway: We can’t afford the war AND Social Security, so naturally, Social Security’s gotta get slashed.
As usual, Bad-Tan-Limpy has this bass ackwards. Lets slash the wars instead.
From E!: Carrie Prejean, whose grammatically mangled disapproval of gay marriage during the 2009 Miss USA pageant turned her into a conservative hero, is planning to give "opposite marriage" a go.
E! News confirmed that the fallen beauty queen plans to wed her NFL quarterback beau, Kyle Boller, this Friday in San Diego.
Soon enough, Carrie “Fingers” Prejean’s silicone enhanced exterior will fade, leaving only the ugliness on the inside. I offer my condolences to Kyle Boller.
From Salon: DailyKos’ Markos Moulitsas ended his site’s relationship with the polling outfit Research 2000 after Nate Silver’s most recent pollster ratings listed them as wholly unreliable. Then a group of "statistics wizards" approached Kos with evidence suggesting that Research 2000 had manipulated — or maybe just made up — some or all of their poll data.
Research 2000 was a reputable company, back when I was in the business, so I had no qualms about using the Kos’ data here. I apologize for any inaccuracies therein.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I don’t think Boner knows any other way than to be backasswards. It’s his motto. The seniors are going to take out a can of whoop ass on him for touching the third rail of politics.
Carrie is lucky to find someone to marry her with her ugly heart.
Research 2000’s inaccuracies are not your fault – it’s theirs.
I’d really like to see how many of these countries actually cut their deficits; if they do, they are going to be in a vat of trouble and they know it.
Correct on all counts, Lisa, but when I find I have posted inaccurate information, I say so and apologize whether or not it’s my fault. Wouldn’t the world be better off, if Faux Noise would follow my lead?
I think I hate Boner more than any other famous wingtard, and that’s saying a lot. Every time he appears on the evening news, I find myself yelling out cuss words at the TV. Let’s cut Social Security so we can afford to keep up the war; the Wall Street crash was just an ant. He must be on a respirator, because he’s too stupid to breathe.
I try not to hate them as individuals, but I despise what they do.
