Yesterday I stayed caught up on comments, but got no visiting done.  I spent almost the entire day on website design for my volunteer group.  I’ll do at least as well today.  I still have a lot of work left to do.

Pray for freedom from the American Taliban!

Yesterday I surprised myself.  Despite the enhanced interrogation techniques employed at pulmonary boot camp, I still managed to catch up on comments and returning visits.  I think I can today, but I have a lot of web site design to do for my volunteer organization’s web page.

A man named John Patrick Bedell approached the Pentegon and, when asked for ID, shot two police officers.  The officers returned fire, critically wounding Bedell.  His reason for the attack is not known.  Please keep the officers and their families in your hopes/wishes/prayers.

Bart “Coat Hanger” Stupak, until recently a denizen of C Street, threatened to kill HCR, along with twelve of his DINO cohorts,unless his anti-choice language is included in the final bill.  He may be bluffing, because he refuses to name them.  If he has twelve, let him reveal their names, so they can face our wrath.

Yesterday I kept up to date with comments and returned all visits, except one.  Today is my volunteer day helping with a therapy group for former prisoners.  I’ll be behind until Friday.

Happy hump day!

Yesterday I did a good job of moderating and applying to comments.  Only someone’s first comment here is moderated.  I also visited my entire blogroll spreading the word.  That’s a big blogroll, so I was moving faster than sound, faster than light, even faster than a Republican can lie.  I have to run errands today but think I can keep up.
