Yesterday I felt quite exhausted and slept for most of the day. Today I have a month’s groceries being delivered. Getting everything put away will be a chore, because my COPD is still severe. In addition, it’s a holy day in the Church of the Ellipsoid Orb. My Broncos are worshiping in Baltimore to kick a little bird butt. The services will be televised here. I hope to get back to comments tomorrow.
Jig Zone Puzzle: (This one’s a real dog!)
Today it took me 4:25. To do it, click here. How did you do?
Short Takes:
From TPM: We learned yesterday that the Republican running against Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-OH) has the unique hobby of donning an SS costume to honor fallen Nazis. Until last night, the GOP included the candidate, Rich Iott, on a list of promising potential members called Contenders — a notch below their so-called Young Guns. Now he’s gone, without a trace.
That’s more than the Republican leadership will tolerate. What a nerve! A Republican dressing up as a… Republican,
From McClatchy DC: A group founded by Republican political operative Karl Rove has dropped $800,000 on television advertising opposing Democratic Sen. Patty Murray, just part of the independent expenditures that have flooded into the Washington state Senate race in the past week.
Patty has already neaten Reichmeister Rossi a couple of times, but I worry that this filthy fascist money could matter.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
What I learned from “The Atlantic” article that TPM cited was that it’s actually illegal to even wear a Nazi SS Waffen uniform in Germany and Austria. Ohio? Not so much.
BREAKING: Just reported that Rich Iott is now checking with fellow Teabagger, Christine “I’m-Not-A-Witch…I’m-You” O’Donnell, in hopes of changing his campaign slogan to
“I’m Not a Nazi. I’m You!”
ROTF!!
5:03 🙁
Some days, Jerry.
Well at least they have some standards – dressing as a Nazi is still verboten even here in the US; where do they get these kooks from anyway? The party of skin head? Jeebus! 🙄
Ah, the deadly foreign corporate money is rolling in? Thanks so much you asshole SCOTUS.
Like we’re gonna impose tariffs on China – they’ll be calling in their notes so fast, it’ll make out heads roll. 🙄
Lisa, at lerast this guy is more honest.
Amen.
I’m not so sure. We have become China’s TBTF bank.
