By the time I returned home from my physical therapy yesterday, the sun had already superheated the breezeway outside my windows. Today when I rose at 4:00 AM, my apt had cooled only to 90° and hasn’t moved in 2 1/2 hours, even though the outside temperature is 54°. I did my laundry while finishing my research, so I’m pooped and wilted. Today will be about 10° hotter. I’m current with replies. Blogging tomorrow depends on how I hold up in the heat.

Today’s took me 3:39 (average 4:45). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Short Takes:
From MoveOn: Here’s Why Homophobic Chicken Chains Should Never Mess With Miss Piggy
Kudos to the Jim Henson Company, but isn’t Miss Piggy hogging all the credit? 😉
From LA Times: It wasn’t exactly “What’s good for General Motors is good for the country,” but porn star Jenna Jameson has put her spin on the presidential race: "I’m very looking forward to a Republican being back in office. When you’re rich, you want a Republican in office."
What can I say? Her endorsement can’t be any more embarrassing those of Donald Trump and GW Bush.
From Barack Obama: Enter your Annual Income to see the clear choice between President Obama’s and Mitt Romney’s tax plans.

It could happen here.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Puzzle — 3:56 Ok, so I lost a wheel! I wonder how Jerry and Patty did?
MoveOn — Kudos! Miss Piggy is always hogging all the credit. And ever notice her favourite word — Moi (me in French). She must be a Republican/Teabagger only interested in herself. Thank goodness the rest of the bunch are Democrats!
LA Times — Never heard of her, but obviously she isn't to intelligent. Or maybe she is in a foxy kind of way. Anyway, I wouldn't exactly call her words a ringing endorsement, especially if you're trying to win the middle class, zombies and all.
Barak Obama — Cool tool! Like you, Rmoney would cost me $183 more. Between the 2, there is a difference of well over $700. That's 8 months of kitty kibble for three hungry babes! Rmoney would be taking food out of my kids mouths! Good thing Rmoney isn't their uncle — they'd probably have to ride on the roof on the way to the vet's.
Cartoon — How many people have not read 'The Diary of Anne Frank', watched the movie or a documentary? An amazing story of what people endured during a black time in world history. Anne Frank 12/06/1929 – early 03/1945 died of typhus brought on by the crowded and unhygienic living conditions in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp after the family was betrayed to the Nazis in 1944. So close to the end of the war, yet so far away.
3:54 TomCat is still barreling along ahead of us. It is up to Patty to upset his cart.
3:46 Not this time. TC beat usall.
Woooo Hoooo! 😀
It was close all around.
Jenna was the nation's most popular porn star for years.
There's one difference. Rmoney isn't Canadian. 😉
Tragic. I fear that it could happen again.
Hooray for the Hensons and the Muppets!
I would have a $183 tax increase too if Rmoney wins. Please, God. NO!
Yes, it could happen here too. If the Fascists win and have their way with this country.
I fully agree!
"porn star Jenna Jameson has put her spin on the presidential race: "I’m very looking forward to a Republican being back in office. When you’re rich, you want a Republican in office."
Good spokes person for the GNOP – Rich (Republican & Reverse)
Indeed

Living here in Florida, I could really care less about the CEO's bigot message but, I will not eat there now…
They aren;t here for me to boycott.
