Yesterday I kept up with comments, but did not return visits.  I wore myself out rearranging storage to make room for an oxygen concentrator unit which was supposed to be delivered.  They never showed up.  Today will depend on how I feel.<\/font><\/p>\n

Today it took me 4:54.  To do it, click here<\/a>.  How did you do?<\/font><\/p>\n

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

From Alternet<\/a>: <\/font>With the race neck-and-neck, Democratic Senator Harry Reid and Republican Sharron Angle dueled, often unpleasantly — with Angle wondering how Reid had become so wealthy as a senator, prompting Reid to complain of "a low blow."<\/p>\n

There were no major showstoppers, just a steady one-hour bounce from topic to topic as the two disagreed on how to improve the floundering US economy, what to do about undocumented immigrants and what to do about health care.<\/p>\n

That spineless Nevada Leg Hound!!  At best the debate was a draw.  The moderator was tougher than Harry.  Even I could have taken on the Obtuse Angle in a debate and cleaned the floor with her.  She offers too many targets of opportunity to survive a real debate, but that fool let her off the hook.<\/font><\/p>\n

From Right Wing Watch<\/a>: <\/font>Yesterday Bryan Fischer dedicated ten minutes of his radio program to expanding upon his column blaming gay groups for suicides among young people in which he said that "if we want to see fewer students commit suicide, we want fewer homosexual students."<\/p>\n

Wrong, asshole!  We want fewer Theocon misanthropes.<\/font><\/p>\n
