I\u2019m writing for tomorrow, day 88, and waiting for Safeway to deliver a month\u2019s groceries.  Tomorrow is a prison volunteer day.<\/font><\/p>\n

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

From NY Times<\/a>: <\/font>Congress is likely to postpone consideration of an immigration overhaul until the end of the year, if not longer, even as advocates are preparing for an all-out, urgent push this fall to win their longstanding goal of a path to citizenship for millions of immigrants here illegally. <\/p>\n

In Washington, the sudden debate over military action in Syria and a looming face-off with President Obama over the budget and the nation\u2019s borrowing limit have shot to the top of the legislative agenda, while Republican angst about losing Hispanic voters in the 2012 presidential campaign has faded. <\/p>\n

Well, you wouldn’t expect the Republicans to postpone the next seven votes on repealing Obamacare, now would you?<\/font><\/p>\n
