Yesterday my appointment went well, but I got home too late and too tired to research and write.  Today I had a lot of catching up to do.  I’m current with replies.  Tomorrow my volunteer day in prison starts later than normal, so I hope to get the blog up before I leave, but may not make it.

Yesterday’s took me 4:04 (average 5:14).  To do it, click here.  Today’s took me 4:48 (average 6:00).  To do it, click here.  How did you do?

Short Takes:

From Washington Post: The Peyton Manning sweepstakes came to an end Monday when the free agent quarterback informed the NFL teams pursuing him that he intended to sign with the Denver Broncos.

The resolution of where Manning, one of the most high-profile free agents in pro football history, will play next immediately rippled through the ranks of NFL quarterbacks. The Broncos seem intent on trading quarterback Tim Tebow and speculation immediately focused on the Miami Dolphins and Jacksonville Jaguars.  [apparently he’s going to the Jets]

In the midst of mourning for and awaiting the return of the holy Ellipsoid Orb, comes this welcome flash of divine light!

From MoveOn: Rush Limbaugh’s Mass Advertiser Exodus In 60 Seconds

 

We’ve done well, but we’re not done yet!

From MSNBC: Fort Worth police say an arrest has been made in connection with Tuesday night’s firebomb attack on the office of state Sen. Wendy Davis…

…Davis, a former Fort Worth City Council member, has been locked in a heated battle over redistricting.

 Yet another example of criminal Republican terrorism.

  1. I bet he bought all  50 states.  He certainly has stolen enough money to do that.

  2. money money money money 2012 election will about who can get the most.  I hope Obama get’s enough votes to keep Romney out of the whitehouse

  3. Washington Post — I heard tonight on the news that Tebow is going to New York in trade for 2 second round draft picks.  Tc, it sounds like you’re glad to see him go.  I thought you were a Tebow fan?  I know you are a Broncos acolyte.

    MoveOn — Good one!  The sooner Limbaugh is off the air the better.  He is a disgrace to humanity!

    MSNBC — And this is the land of the free?  Me thinks that my definition of freedom is different from the thugs that firebombed the Democratic Senator’s office.

    Cartoon — Are Rmoney’s pockets so deep that he can continue to outspend his competitors and still have enough left to run a campaign against Mr Obama?  All that glitters is not gold!

    Puzzles — under the average by about 30 seconds if I recall correctly on cherry pie (my favourite pie!) and right on the average for doggie.  Proof yet again that cats are a girl’s best friend!

    • Lynn. during the off season I would wax poetic over news of such magnitude even if my Broncos were not involved.  Tebow has as much potential as or more potential than any rookie quarterback in the league, and he appears more authentic than most evangelicals, but Peyton Manning is a premier quarterback now.

      Amen

      Amen again.

      During primary season.  Not in the general.

      Good times.

  4. 4:52 Yuck! Cute dog though.

  5. 3:36 for yesterday.  I like cherry pie.  Even more now.

    4:10 for today.  Doggies are good to me!
