Yesterday I was busy with personal things most of the day, so I did not get a chance to reply to comments or return visits.  Today I hope to catch up on comments, but that\u2019s iffy.  I\u2019m going out to visit  a potential venue for a 7th Step support group for former prisoners we\u2019re starting up.  Also I\u2019m running short on sleep, because Providence Home Services woke me up from a dead sleep at 8 PM to tell me they were delivering the oxygen concentrator they had promised to deliver to me by Noon today, but stood me up for the second time.  I told them to tale a long \u2026um\u2026 walk off a short pier.<\/font><\/p>\n

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

From NY Times<\/a>: <\/font>A federal district judge in California said Monday that she is inclined to deny the government\u2019s request to allow the Pentagon to enforce its \u201cdon\u2019t ask, don\u2019t tell\u201d policy on gay and bisexual members of the military while her injunction against it is being appealed. \u201cMy tentative ruling is to deny the application for a stay,\u201d Judge Virginia A. Phillips said at a hearing on the government\u2019s request, according to Reuters. She is expected to issue a ruling to that effect on Tuesday. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

I hope so!  I\u2019d love to see no more expelled.<\/font><\/p>\n

From TPM<\/a>: <\/font>Sharron Angle now has an interesting explanation for her recent campaign ads on immigration, which have prominently featured images of Latinos labeled as "illegal aliens": They might not be Latinos, or even "illegal aliens" from Mexico at all — they might be terrorists sneaking in from the Canadian border.<\/p>\n

Damn those brown skinned Canadians! :roll:  Obtuse went on to say that the they looked more like Asians, as though that\u2019s somehow more acceptable that Latino.<\/font><\/p>\n

From Me: From the look of the polls, which I take with a ton of salt, I\u2019d call the Senate 51 Democrats, 47 Republicans, and 2 too close to guess.  Unlike most Pollsters, I\u2019m correctly counting LIEberman as a Republican.  The House is anyone\u2019s guess.<\/font><\/p>\n
