Writing for tomorrow, day 51, I\u2019m enjoying the last cool morning I\u2019m likely to see for at least ten days.  Once they fixed the problems at out HSP, the site has been working as it should.<\/font><\/p>\n

Today\u2019s took me 4:29 (average 4:45).  To do it, click here<\/a>.  How did you do?<\/font><\/p>\n

Short Takes<\/strong>:<\/font><\/p>\n

From NY Times<\/a>: <\/font>In its last action before a five-week summer recess, the House took another jab at President Obama\u2019s health care law on Friday, voting to prohibit the Internal Revenue Service from enforcing or carrying out any provision of the law. <\/p>\n

The bill, approved by a vote of 232 to 185, now goes to the Senate, where it has virtually no chance of approval. President Obama said he would veto the measure if it got to him. <\/p>\n

That is the 40th vote to repeal ObamaCare, wasting over $1 million in taxpayer money per vote. I predict that the US Congress will pass no more BS measures this month.<\/font><\/p>\n

From MSNBC<\/a>: Worst Congress EVER!<\/font><\/p>\n

In inferring that Congress has repealed many laws, Agent Orange did what he always does. He lied. The last Republican President was the worst president in US history. This Republican House makes it the worst congress in US history. This Republican Party is the worst party in US history. When Michael Steele is the brightest bulb in their pack, they are in BIG trouble.<\/font><\/p>\n

From The Hill<\/a>: <\/font>For Dem women, it’s Hillary or bust<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hillary Clinton does not shatter the glass ceiling for women and win the White House in 2016, who will? [WATCH VIDEO<\/a>]<\/p>\n

It is a question that bubbles just under the surface in conversations with many Democratic women. <\/p>\n

They are deeply invested in the idea of a Clinton run for the presidency. They are also painfully aware that no other female politician on the horizon is of comparable stature\u2026 [emphasis original<\/em>]<\/p>\n

Although I would prefer a more progressive candidate, I would have no problem supporting Hillary, if she wins the nomination, but Hillary or bust? What an awful choice!!  If I were a Dem woman, I’d choose to leave Hillary behind and keep my bust. \ud83d\ude09<\/font><\/p>\n
