Yesterday, I still felt completely exhausted after my long day on Friday.  I rested and watched football until my groceries came.  Getting them unpacked and put away took over two hours.  I slept through most of the late games.  Realistically, I know I won\u2019t be able to get to all the comments left during this long illness, but today or tomorrow I hope to reply to the last two or three days of them.<\/font><\/p>\n

From NY Times<\/a>: <\/font>The Republican candidate for governor, Carl P. Paladino, told a gathering in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, on Sunday that children should not be \u201cbrainwashed\u201d into thinking that homosexuality was acceptable.<\/p>\n

Yikes!!  For once I agree with a Republican Teabagger!  That homosexuality is acceptable is indeed an incorrect message.  It would be far more accurate to say that it is normal for consenting adults to make love as defined by their own sexual orientation.  Somehow, I doubt this is what the GOPbagger meant.<\/font><\/p>\n

From Washington Post<\/a>: <\/font>President Hamid Karzai has confirmed he’s been in talks with the Taliban on securing peace in war-weary Afghanistan. <\/p>\n

I hope this proves fruitful.<\/font><\/p>\n
