Yesterday I caught up on replying to comments and returning visits.  I also visited several other blogs.  I hope to do the same today.

Short Take:

Karl ‘Turdblossom’ Rove continued to rewrite history with the lie that Bush administration officials never claimed that Iraqi oil revenues would help pay for Iraq’s reconstruction.  I remember that claim repeated frequently.

Yesterday I gave myself an unintentional birthday gift.  Sleep.  After I published for the day, I went back to bed, but instead of sleeping until 7 AM, my norm, I stayed asleep until 11:30.  I replied to comments, returned visits and answered a big bunch of greetings on FB.  Then I went back to bed.  I guess I must have really needed the sleep.  I have a few tasks to complete today, but I should get some visiting in.

Yesterday I caught up with comments and returned recent visits.  I started to visit other blogs when my grocery delivery arrived.  By the time I dealt with a problem with the order and got everything put away, I was pooped.  I expect to do more visiting today.

62 years ago today, I was born.

Yesterday in an interview with BBC, Karl Rove, aka Turdblossom, proclaimed to a foreign audience that he was proud of torture, although he claimed it was not torture.  He parroted the now thoroughly debunked GOP lies that it provided intelligence that kept America safe.  The best way for him to accomplish this is to stay abroad.

A new study reveals that the median wealth for single white women from 36 to 49, is $42,600, 61% of single white men of the same age.  But single black women of the same age have a median wealth of $5. 😯

Don’t forget tonight.

Yesterday I was tired and sore when I returned home from pulmonary boot camp, so I lay down and was out most of the afternoon, but I did catch up on comments.  I’ll get some visiting in today.  Today is grocery day, and I have a month’s supply coming from Safeway.com.  Grocery delivery is great, but I still have to put them all away.

I wish Harry Reid’s wife and daughter a speedy recovery.

In what may be the shortest ad campaign in history, Turbo Tax responded to feedback and cancelled their advertising on Glen Beck’s show after only two days.

U.S. District Judge Nina Gershon affirmed her December ruling and made the injunction against government intervention permanent, asking all federal agencies to spread the word that money to ACORN be allowed without delay.

The House leadership announced that they will proceed to reconciliation without giving in to Bart ‘Coat Hanger’ Stupak.

While the GOP is demanding an investigation into Massa, it turns out that their new star Senator, Scott Brown, was accused of harassing a female campaign worker in 1998.

The boys from Red State Update want Al Gore to give back his Nobel Prize.

Yesterday I did catch up on comments and visited about half the blogroll.  Today I have pulmonary boot camp, so I’ll have to see what’s up when I return.

Yesterday I said that Israel’s approval of more illegal settlements in Palestinian territory was intended to kill the peace process.  It did.

John “C Street” Ensign is in more trouble.  Previously undisclosed emails have revealed even more attempts on his part to illegally procure lobbying work to pay off his lover’s unhappy husband.

ES&S has been attempting to acquire Diebold and gain control of over 70% of out nations voting machines.  DOJ announced they will block parts of the deal on antitrust grounds.  This will make election theft more difficult for Republicans.

Yesterday I had a bad air day.  When I returned from my appointment, I felt so winded, wheezy and drained that I could not focus.  I spent most of the afternoon in bed.  I’m not feeling much better today, so I think I’ll have to forego my volunteer day with the therapy group.  I hope to at least catch up on comments.

Here’s the ultimate reason to pass HCR.  Rush Limbaugh says that, if it passes, he will leave the country!

SCOTUS, aka the Extreme Court, has agreed to hear Fred Phelps’ case.  Phelps is pastor Fuehrer at Westboro Baptist Church, infamous for protesting at military funerals and claiming that the death of our troops is God’s judgment for of homosexuality, because “God Hates Fags”.  Phelps was teabuggering before there were Teabaggers.

It’s Mooseolini Day.  The Tundra Twit took a metaphor from Isaiah out of contest to justify scribbling on her palm.  In the process, she compared herself to God.  Then she admitted that she used to slip across the Canadian border for health care.  What a hypocrite!

Yesterday I spent the bulk of the day working on the website for my volunteer group.  I did keep up on comments and even started to visit other blogs, but I made the error of closing my eyes to take a small cat nap.  That was it for the day.  I’ll try to get some visiting in today.

In spite of a spate of sectarian violence, the people of Iraq voted yesterday in their parliamentary elections.  Results will not be available for several days.  I wonder if Diebold ink company managed to deploy invisible ink.

From an article in the Huffington Post, “When the most radical person on the scene is Paul Volcker, it tells you just how politics have moved to the right.”
