Yesterday I did laundry and that tired me out, but I did manage to reply to comments and return visits.  Today, I have a huge pile of paperwork and errands to run, so we\u2019ll see what the day brings.<\/font><\/p>\n

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

From Newshounds<\/a>: <\/font>In an interview with Megyn Kelly on America Live Friday (4\/30\/10), Arizona Governor Jan Brewer discussed the controversial new immigration law she recently signed into effect. First, she complained about her critics who \u201care trying to create hysteria\u201d against the law. But less than a minute later, Brewer was doing her best to create anti-immigrant hysteria by equating illegal immigration to terrorist attacks.<\/p>\n

How do you spell H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T-E?<\/font><\/p>\n

From Crooks and Liars<\/a>: <\/font>The only mainstream media coverage I saw of the "Showdown on Wall Street" Thursday was on MSNBC’s Dylan Ratigan Show. Possibly everyone else was off covering a gathering of a dozen teabaggers, and could not spare the time to listen to working Americans.<\/p>\n

While this story deserves far more coverage than it received, I think it was drowned out by the GOP Gulf Disaster, not Teabuggery.<\/font><\/p>\n
