It’s a holy day in the Church of the Ellipsoid Orb.  My Broncos are visiting the Chiefs.  My expectations are not high.  The game is televised here.  This article is short, because the Republican in today’s parade dominated yesterday’s news.  WWWendy should be here in about 35 minutes.<\/font><\/p>\n

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

From NY Times<\/a>: <\/font>After Senator Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota announced that she would not vote to confirm Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, sympathetic voters went to work to show their support for the embattled red-state Democrat, writing letters of thanks and posting their appreciation on social media.<\/p>\n

Others found a more practical way to demonstrate their gratitude: cold, hard cash. In 17 days, Ms. Heitkamp raised an astonishing $12.5 million, according to campaign finance filings; the bulk of that was after she announced her vote.<\/p>\n

I’ve never been a Heitkamp fan, but she deserves the support. RESIST<\/strong>!! VOTE BLUE<\/strong>!!<\/font><\/p>\n

I voted Blue!<\/font><\/p>\n
