Yesterday Portland has a one day mini heat wave with outside temperatures hitting 84\u00b0.  The sun hit the breezeway early, and the inside temperature shot up to 97\u00b0 and is still 89\u00b0.  That set off my COPD and I\u2019ve had almost zero sleep.  To make matters worse, I\u2019m fasting, because I have to visit the vampire this morning.  I did manage to keep up with comments, but do not expect to do so today.  I\u2019ll catch up when I can.<\/font><\/p>\n

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

From ABC<\/a>: <\/font>Although no final decision has been made because of family considerations, ABC News has learned that White House officials are preparing for White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel to announce on Friday \u2013 as Congress adjourns for recess — that he is leaving his post at the White House to explore a run for mayor of Chicago.<\/p>\n

Have your party hats ready on Friday!<\/font><\/p>\n

From Right Wing Watch<\/a>: <\/font>Dr. William Harrison was an ardent supporter of a woman’s right to reproductive choice which, in turn, made him a frequent target of right-wing anti-choice activists.<\/p>\n

On Friday, he died after a four-month battle with leukemia … and Operation Rescue is rejoicing, seeing it as proof that "God always gets the last word".<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not the God to whom I pray.<\/font><\/p>\n

From Daily Kos<\/a>: <\/font>GOP Catfood Commission members pushing for tax cuts for the wealthy.<\/p>\n
