Yesterday I spent most of the day trying to catch up. Although I still have the runs, they are not as severe. I am current with replies, although I answered most collectively, rather than individually. Tomorrow I have errands to run.

Short Takes:
From MoveOn: How You Know The Republicans Are In Trouble, By Bill Maher
They must be in HUGE trouble!
From Information Week: The Obama administration Thursday announced its proposal for a Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights, and called on Congress to pass legislation that will allow the Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general to enforce the framework.
The Internet-focused bill of rights would provide consumers with a say in how their personal information gets collected and used online, require businesses to be transparent about their related data usage practices, and also compel businesses to appropriately secure people’s personal data.
I would like more, but this is both good and needed. Count on Republican obstruction.
From Raw Story: A Wisconsin state representative who supported the state’s voter ID law is now be accused of voter fraud himself.
A YouTube video titled “Proof Of Voter Fraud In The Wisconsin State Assembly” shows Republican state Rep. Joel Kleefisch getting out of his chair to electronically cast a vote for a member who was away from the Assembly floor.
Wisconsin state Assembly rule 76 clearly says that “[o]nly the members present in the assembly chamber may vote.”
The Republican lie about dead voters in SC is now thoroughly debunked.

It’s all about setting up a GOP regime, where only the “right people” get to vote.

Looks like Patty won on the days that I didn’t. It took two of us, but working together we blanked you. Of course you are not feeling well so it doesn’t really count anyway.
Hope you get “plugged up” soon. 🙂
That’s exactly what happened but it always counts.
Thanks!
Good to have you back, TomCat—you’re a pretty tough cookie!
Thanks Jack. I’m too tough an old bird for Thanksgiving. 😉
Maher — Couldn’t have said it better. Republican tactic: Divert and conquer!
Internet Bill of Rights — Long overdue just about everywhere! If the Republicans don’t obstruct, look out! There’s something more sinister afoot!
Proof Of Voter Fraud In The Wisconsin State Assembly — Not only is he voting for another Assemblyman in violation of the rules, he appears to be aware of the camera and is openly implying “Catch me if you can!” I suppose he is counting on the Fartfuhrer to support and protect him. I wonder what the penalty is for doing this — loss of his seat and at least 6 months in jail?
South Carolina’s Voter Fraud — So over 900 cases of deceased persons voting, eh!
I would say that if the State Attorney General wants the investigation continued, it should be done by the election commission but come out of the AG’s budget. I think the mint juleps have gone straight to their heads. Nikki Haley, another sleazeball Republican governor, right up there with the Fartfuhrer of Fitzwalkerstan, the Battle Ax of Arizonastan, and Scary Perry of Texas.
Cartoon — The GOP candidates — they all hate and they all lie. Where is the DDT when you need to get rid of some noxious weeds?
I sure am glad you’re back. Hope you’re feeling a whole lot better!
Bingo!
Do you suspect anything specific?
Hopefully, life without possibility.
Their attempt at propaganda sure came back to bite them in the arse!
Now, Lynn. Unemployment is enoughh.
Thanks!
