Yesterday I caught up on comments, but go not visiting in.  I felt very tired. I got a new coffee maker.  Setting it up took a masters degree in engineering, but it was a welcome addition.  I was sick of instant, which  had been drinking since the old machine dies Saturday morning.  Today I have morning appointment.  I\u2019ll have to see how they go.<\/font><\/p>\n

Today it took me 3:48.  To do it, click here<\/a>.  How did you do?<\/font><\/p>\n

From Common Dreams<\/a>: <\/font>In a groundbreaking decision that some say will usher in a new era of clean energy, U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said today he had approved the nation’s first offshore wind farm, the controversial Cape Wind project off of Cape Cod. <\/p>\n

I understand that the Kennedys and other northeastern blue-bloods objected to this, because they don\u2019t want to see it from their mansions.  Tough!<\/font><\/p>\n

From Daily Kos<\/a>: <\/font>Speaking of stupid, according to Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC):<\/p>\n

"The president is the one who put the kibosh on working together, and now he’s just trying to use the mainstream media to confuse the American people. The fact is I think he thinks Americans are stupid, and he’s going to play this out until he gets a headline in every paper that Republicans are obstructionist.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unbelievable!  We lefties have been tearing out our hair in frustration over Obama\u2019s repeated and fruitless attempts at bipartisanship!<\/font><\/p>\n
