Day 68.  I\u2019m writing for tomorrow and am feeling somewhat better, having eaten binding foods.  But I\u2019m still drained and thoroughly disappointed over missing the volunteer time with my guys.  Happy first day od Ramadan to our Muslim friends.<\/font><\/p>\n

From The New Yorker<\/a>: <\/font><\/p>\n

Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-Ohio) said today that he plans to sue President Obama for violating the United States Constitution with what Boehner called \u201chis outrageous practice of accomplishing things.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThe United States Constitution guarantees the American people that its government will be free from activity,\u201d Boehner told reporters. \u201cAgain and again, President Obama has broken that sacred trust.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ripping the President for his \u201cwillful insistence on doing things,\u201d Speaker Boehner said that his lawsuit was intended \u201cto restore the inaction and inertia that have been the hallmarks of our democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Speaker acknowledged that suing the President was an extreme measure, but added, \u201cI take this step only after exhausting every other method to prevent him from getting anything done.\u201d <\/p>\n

LOL Andy!! I think that Agent Orange is just trying to find a time-wasting show-and-tell for his runaway Baggers that stops short of impeaching Obama, which Boehner knows would pull lazy lefty voters out of their lethargy. He doesn’t care how many taxpayer dollars it wastes.<\/font><\/p>\n

From Daily Kos<\/a>: <\/font>I have often wondered where would be a good place for my young son to go one day to ride out catastrophic climate-changed earth. It is sounding more and more like there’s nowhere to go that is best suited to survive the coming catastrophe.<\/p>\n

If climate change continues on its current trajectory, the report concluded, Midwesterners could see deadly heat-and-humidity pairings (which meteorologists call "wet-bulb temperature") two days every year by later this century. <\/p>\n

"It will be functionally impossible to be outside, including for things like construction work and farming, as well as recreation," said climate scientist Michael Oppenheimer of Princeton University.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

When the time comes, unless we can prevent it, we must remember to call those days Republican days.<\/font><\/p>\n
