Yesterday, I actually got ahead of the game.  After returning visits, I visited about half of our blogroll.  Barring unforeseen circumstances I hope to finish that today.<\/font><\/p>\n

Today it took me 3:22.  To do it, click here<\/a>.  How did you do?<\/font><\/p>\n

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

From Think Progress<\/a>: <\/font>An event described as the \u201cWoodstock\u201d of tea parties is planned for Sept. 11 at the Monona County Fairgrounds in Onawa in western Iowa.<\/p>\n

How dare they!  I was at Woodstock.  I have not attended a rock concert since, because after that, nothing can compare.  Their racist hate fest will be nothing like Woodstock!<\/font><\/p>\n

From Washington Post<\/a>: <\/font>Utah Sen. Bob Bennett lost his bid to be nominated for a fourth term Saturday, defeated at the state Republican Party convention amid a strong conservative sentiment that threatens to unseat other establishment-backed Republicans in the months to come.<\/p>\n

Bennett, who had spent the past two decades as a respected insider in the Senate, came under fire in recent months for what some claimed were his insufficient conservative bona fides.<\/p>\n

Another goose-stepper under the bus because his IQ us too low.  In Teabuggerese, IQ is Insanity Quotient.<\/font><\/p>\n

From Dave Dubya’s Freedom Rants<\/a>: <\/font>\u201cWe had to struggle with the old enemies of peace – business and financial monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, war profiteering. They had begun to consider the Government of the United States as a mere appendage to their own affairs. We know now that Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob.\u201d Franklin D. Roosevelt \u2013 1936<\/p>\n

The more things change, the more they stay the same.  Corporations are not people!  Money is not speech!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n
