Yesterday, I spent most of the day at a meeting and had no tome left for replying to comments or returning visits.  Today is my volunteer day co-facilitating a therapy group for former prisoners, so it won\u2019t much better, if at all.  I shall reply to every comment and return every visit possible.  Potting a big dent, at least, in that backlog id my project for tomorrow.<\/font><\/p>\n

Fantasy Football<\/strong>:<\/font><\/p>\n

Because it was clear that we will not get enough players, and CBS will not let us publish the league to get players from the general pool, I moved the league to Fox Sports, because they will let us go public.  I have sent an email initiation to everyone who was in and two have responded, so far.  If you would like to play, sign into Fox Fantasy Football with any MSN ID.  The League ID is 1023560.  The Password is nogop<\/font><\/p>\n

From TPM<\/a>: <\/font>Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) has added his voice to those who are speaking out against the construction of a Muslim community center in downtown New York, close to Ground Zero, an issue that has become a major cause on the right.<\/p>\n

Once again I call to strip this Republican of his Committee Chair.<\/font><\/p>\n

From Think Progress<\/a>: <\/font>Police in south-central Pennsylvania have arrested prison guard Raymond Franklin Peake for the murder of Todd Getgen on July 21 at a Pennsylvania Game Commission shooting range. What\u2019s most disturbing about this incident is why Peake is involved. Peake told police that he found Getgen already dead and \u201cstole his rifle so it could be used by an extremist group bent on overthrowing the U.S. government.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is Republican patriotism at its finest.<\/font><\/p>\n
