Today it took me 4:56.  To do it, click here<\/a>.  How did you do?<\/font><\/p>\n

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

From News Hounds<\/a>: <\/font>A professor specializing in election law visited On The Record last night (5\/28\/10) and told substitute guest host Jamie Colby that no statutes were broken in the Sestak affair, that the statute Fox News personnel keep obsessively citing, Section 600 of the U.S. Code was not designed to prevent the kind of political deals that might have been made between the White House and Sestak and, for good measure, added, \u201cThe coverage on your network sounds pretty breathless. It seems to me that this is really much ado about nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a major screw-up for Faux Noise<\/em>.  They mistakenly allowed their sheeple to hear the truth about something.<\/font><\/p>\n

From Raw Story<\/a>: <\/font>As Americans prepare to honor fallen soldiers this Memorial Day, one former Oregon National Guard member is wondering why he’s being charged more than $3,000 for military gear that was lost after he was shot.<\/p>\n

Gary Pfleider, a six-year veteran of the Guard, received a Purple Heart after he was shot by a sniper in Iraq. Some time later, he received a somewhat less gratifying award: A bill for $3,175 for military equipment that was lost when he was shipped out of Iraq for medical treatment.<\/p>\n

Sickening!  There are far too many Republicans burrowed-in at DoD.<\/font><\/p>\n
