Yesterday I felt quite exhausted and slept for most of the day.  Today I have a month\u2019s groceries being delivered.  Getting everything put away will be a chore, because my COPD is still severe.  In addition, it\u2019s a holy day in the Church of the Ellipsoid Orb.  My Broncos are worshiping in Baltimore to kick a little bird butt.  The services will be televised here.  I hope to get back to comments tomorrow.<\/font><\/p>\n

Jig Zone Puzzle<\/strong>: (This one\u2019s a real dog!)<\/font><\/p>\n

Today it took me 4:25.  To do it, click here<\/a>.  How did you do?<\/font><\/p>\n

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

From TPM<\/a>: <\/font>We learned yesterday that the Republican running against Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-OH) has the unique hobby of donning an SS costume to honor fallen Nazis. Until last night, the GOP included the candidate, Rich Iott, on a list of promising potential members called Contenders — a notch below their so-called Young Guns. Now he’s gone, without a trace.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s more than the Republican leadership will tolerate.  What a nerve!  A Republican dressing up as a\u2026 Republican,<\/font><\/p>\n

From McClatchy DC<\/a>: <\/font>A group founded by Republican political operative Karl Rove has dropped $800,000 on television advertising opposing Democratic Sen. Patty Murray, just part of the independent expenditures that have flooded into the Washington state Senate race in the past week.<\/p>\n

Patty has already neaten Reichmeister Rossi a couple of times, but I worry that this filthy fascist money could matter.<\/font><\/p>\n
