Yesterday was our first day of Summer weather in Portland, as we reached a high of 82\u00b0.  Unfortunately, as my apartment is situated it reached 94\u00b0 inside, and it\u2019s 85\u00b0 now  in the wee morning hours, so I\u2019m feeling somewhat wilted, and I slept poorly.  I caught up replying to two days of comments yesterday and returned visits.  I may or may not today, depending on how I feel.<\/font><\/p>\n

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

From ESPN<\/a>: <\/font>For USA, Saturday’s 1-1 tie with England wasn’t quite 1950 vintage, but the team will take it.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s \u00bd a game more that I thought we\u2019d win.<\/font><\/p>\n

From News Hounds<\/a>: <\/font>Just a few days after Republican Senate candidate Carly Fiorina was caught on microphone dissing Sean Hannity, she appeared on Fox News\u2019 Hannity show to suck up clarify her remarks to him. Fiorina\u2019s \u201cexplanation?\u201d That she had really complimented Hannity when she criticized GOP gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman for going on his show; that by saying, \u201cI think it\u2019s a very bad choice actually. You know how he is,\u201d Fiorina really meant how good he is.<\/p>\n

Carly earned her BS degree for that one.<\/font><\/p>\n

From Raw Story<\/a>: <\/font>State Sen. Russell Pearce, the primary sponsor of Arizona’s new law allowing police to ask for proof of citizenship when they suspect a person is in the country illegally, says he plans to introduce a bill this fall that would deny citizenship to children born in the United States to illegal immigrants.<\/p>\n

The bill would also require the children of illegal immigrants to pay tuition to attend public schools.<\/p>\n

Does wanting to charge children who are US citizens mean that the GOP hates children?  Only the ones that aren\u2019t all the way white.  What\u2019s their next trick?  Maybe they\u2019ll label black children \u2018anchor babies\u2019 too, because their ancestors snuck into this country in the holds of slave ships.<\/font><\/p>\n
