Yesterday I opted to take a trip to the grocery store instead of going to Social Security.  As a result, I had time time to reply to comments, return visits, an visit a couple more blogs.  I should have no trouble keeping up today.<\/font><\/p>\n

Today it took me 3:34.  To do it, click here<\/a>.  How did you do?<\/font><\/p>\n

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

From Raw Story<\/a>: <\/font>In a statement released Thursday, the Council on American-Islamic Relations said Michael Berry of KPRC 950 AM "made a call to violence" when he said he hoped someone would blow up the mosque being proposed for a location in lower Manhattan, near the site of the 9\/11 attacks.<\/p>\n

I wonder how it will be before some faithful Republican follows through on this call to violence.<\/font><\/p>\n

From McClatchy DC<\/a>: <\/font>The House of Representatives agreed Friday to extend expiring jobless benefits for hundreds of thousands of workers nationwide until Nov. 30, but 1.2 million out-of-work Americans still face losing their benefits next month because the Senate left for a 10-day Memorial Day recess without acting. <\/p>\n

The Senate isn’t scheduled to return to Washington until June 7, five days after federal funding for the benefits is to expire.<\/p>\n

Senators from both parties should be ashamed, but especially Harry Reid, who had the power to keep the Senate in session. <\/font><\/p>\n

From Raw Story<\/a>: <\/font>A neighbor of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin got so angry for what she says was unpaid bills for renovations that she decided she would try to rent her house to someone who wanted to look into Palin’s life as a result — what media reports are calling "revenge by rent."<\/p>\n

And she did: a non fiction writer took up her offer. [MvGinniss]<\/p>\n

One would think that, with all the $millions she is raking in from fleecing the sheeple, the Faux Noise<\/em> Floozy could pay her bills.<\/font><\/p>\n
