Yesterday I felt a little better.  I caught up on replies to comments and returning visits.  Today I may not.  I have to go to a doctor appointment.  What I wouldn\u2019t give for a rubber chicken.<\/font><\/p>\n

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

From Raw Story<\/a>: <\/font>Oil is leaking from the ruptured well of a large rig that exploded, burnt and sank in the Gulf of Mexico earlier this week, the US Coast Guard said Saturday.<\/p>\n

The Coast Guard estimated that up to 1,000 of barrels of oil, or 42,000 gallons (158,987 liters) were spewing each day from a riser and a drill pipe, prompting further concerns of damage to Louisiana’s fragile ecosystem, already stressed by hurricanes and coastal erosion.<\/p>\n

Offshore drilling is hazardous to living things.<\/font><\/p>\n

From Ashville Citizen-Times<\/a>: <\/font>Asheville Regional Airport police arrested a 23-year-old Ohio man who was carrying a handgun and listening to police radio scanners near the runway around the time President Barack Obama\u2019s flight was leaving Asheville, according to investigators. <\/p>\n

Joseph Sean McVey, of Coshocton, in southeastern Ohio, pulled his vehicle in front of a gate in the rental car parking lot as Air Force One was taxiing on the runway just before 2 p.m., according to a case summary filed by police.<\/p>\n

Pray for our President.  The GOP\u2019s minions are seriously out to get him.<\/font><\/p>\n
