My eyes are still bothering me, but I got my research done. I’m current with replies. Tomorrow I have an appointment that will keep me out almost all day, so it’s probable that I will post no articles tomorrow.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today it took me 4:15 (average 5:33). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Short Takes:
From MoveOn: The Truth About The Minimum Wage That Will Make You Gasp
I bet you can guess which party opposes raising the minimum wage.
From Christian Science Monitor: "There is a cavernous gender gap in the horse-race poll…. Obama leads [GOP front-runner Mitt] Romney by 20 points among female voters. And [Obama] leads [candidate Rick] Santorum by 26 points among female voters."
Gee! I wonder why! 😉
From NewsOK: With the Obamacare hearing less than a month away, the United States Supreme Court’s approval rating has hit an all-time "new low" according to a new poll.
"[F]ewer voters than ever view the high court positively," according to Rasmussen Reports. "Nineteen percent rate the highest court in the land as poor." Rasmussen added that "28 percent give the Supreme Court good or excellent ratings."
Given Rasmussen’s right-bias, it’s probably even worse.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
MoveOn — Excellent information. Forty years ago, I netted $220 per month and a dingy 1 bedroom apartment cost $250 per month. All of a sudden, having my own apartment, or sharing one with a friend was not going to happen. Minimum wage in BC increase $.75 to $9.50 01/11/11. Not a living wage.
Christian Science Monitor — No, really? Who wudda thunk? 🙄
NewsOK — Would that new low rating have anything to do with the 5 Injustices and the Citizens United decision that is really now showing it’s full flower? And a poisonous flower it is! 🙄
Puzzle — 59 seconds under the average. Told you, I am a pussy cat person!
Cartoon — Good one. Here’s another sent to me a few months ago.
Love your cartoon too!
LOL Lynn. I didn’t know you were a groinocologist! 😉
5:16. boy! Am I ever out of practice!
The plus side of all these polls is that the American people are fed up with the lot of the RepublicanTs.
Great cartoon!
Good I need the help! 😉
Amen.

4:36 Guess I need some practice too.
