Yesterday I kept up to date and got lazy.  I should at least stay up to date today as the worst heat wave of the summer, to date, moves in.  It was a slow say for news.<\/font><\/p>\n

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

From TPM<\/a>: <\/font>Sharron Angle has resorted to an unusual maneuver to counter Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s attacks on her past quotes and positions, the Reid campaign has announced: A cease-and-desist letter, demanding that Reid no longer republish Angle’s previous campaign website.<\/p>\n

The short version of the story is as follows: After the former state Rep won Nevada’s Republican Senate primary, Angle’s campaign took down most of its website, and later replaced it with a relaunched version that in some ways toned down her right-wing rhetoric.<\/p>\n

What a dirty thing Reid is doing.  How could anyone be so heartless as to repeat Angle\u2019s own opinions! \ud83d\ude09<\/font><\/p>\n

From Crooks and Liars<\/a>: <\/font><\/p>\n

Lots of Arizona politicians were upset by President Obama’s speech on immigration last week, but apparently none more so than Crazy Sheriff Joe Aroaio:<\/p>\n

Arpaio: \u201cRight now, because of that speech, we’re going to get more and more people crossing that border. They want to get here quick so they become U.S. citizens if we have amnesty. So stay tuned for more people coming in because of the president speaking out.\u201d<\/p>\n

And I imagine the GOP profiling mavens passed the \u201cpapers please\u201d bill in anticipation of Obama\u2019s speech, right?<\/font><\/p>\n
