Yesterday there was little improvement in my Republicanitis. I’m so full of Republicans that Imodium AD has not worked and trips to the throne have been too frequent to allow much sleep, let alone research. I am not current on replies and will catch up when I can.
Jig Zone Puzzles:
Yesterday it took me 2:56 (average 4:24). To do it click here.
Today it took me 3:07 (average 4:47). To do it, click here. How did you do?
I had a lot of motivation to hurry. 🙁
Short Takes:
From SoINeedAName: Left in a comment
Timely and appropriate.
From ABC: A federal appeals court in Atlanta on Friday struck down a key provision of the Obama administration’s health care reform law, ruling that Congress exceeded its authority in mandating that most Americans buy health insurance by 2014 or face a penalty.
At the Federal Appeals Court level that’s one for and one against. Bring on Medicare for all!
From Common Dreams: Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will submit an application for full U.N. membership at the General Assembly next month, his foreign minister said on Saturday, without specifying exactly when the request would be made.
I support recognition, and oppose the US opposition to it.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
It a clean sweep…for you. 3:43 yesterday and 3:54 today. I am 71 out of 226 (314). Your 2:36 time is insane! I don’t think I could even move the pieces around that fast, let alone fit them into the right places. Great solve!
Oops. That was a typo. It was 2:56, not 2:36. I fixed it. You’ll need a strong effort to beat me today.
2:36 or 2:56, both are unbeatable times.
I’ve only been under three twice ever.

4:20 I did better with the butterfly than the iguana.
The straw poll pronounced Bachmann as the looniest of the loonies. She was on Meet the Press this AM and answered every one of David Gregory’s questions with a Te-baggers sound bite.
David “Raps-with-Rove” Gregory is a dancing dick who you can depend on to defend all repubican talking points.
The iguana’s colors made that one doable.
What else would she use to answer?
Amen to that, Nameless.

….Mitt Romney just recently found out that George Romney isn’t his real father, it was a car company……! 😈
You’re over my head with that one, Johnny.
