After I posted my articles here yesterday, I returned to bed and overslept.  Then I went to the store to get yet another mouse and and a USB hub, because my computer has only three USB ports, while I have a mouse dongle, Magic Jack, and a joy stick , and I plan to get a USB drive next week.  By the time I got back, I was already behind on answering comments and visiting blogs.  However, I answered all the comments and visited most of my blogging friends.  Today I will do little if any visiting, because it\u2019s a holy day in the First Church of the Ellipsoid Orb.  The Broncos play the Patriots.  Can they go 5-0?  I won\u2019t get to see them play, but  can follow the game online.  It\u2019s either that or watch the Bird Bowl, the Falcons are playing the Sea Chickens.<\/p>\n

I finished today\u2019s Jig Zone puzzle in 5:34.  To do it, click Click Here<\/a>.  How did you do?<\/p>\n

In the latest Red State Report, the guys sound just like real Repuglicans.<\/p>\n

You may wonder why I call the Republican Party the Repuglican Party.  During the days of the Bush Reich, Republicans renamed the Democratic Party the Democrat Party, because, they said, there is nothing Democratic about it.   Since then, Repuglican Senators, Representatives, and talking heads virtually always use the term Democrat party as an ongoing sign of contempt.  When they abandon this disrespect, I\u2019ll stop using Repuglican.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a cartoon for your Sunday pleasure.<\/p>\n
