Yesterday I ran more errands.  Today I have my monthly grocery delivery coming this morning.  Unpacking and putting it away always wears me out, but I am up to date on comments.<\/font><\/p>\n

Today it took me 4:26 (5:24 average).  To do it, click here<\/a>.  How did you do?<\/font><\/p>\n

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

From NY Times<\/a>: <\/font>In all, the nation added 192,000 jobs in February, a big jump from the 63,000 added the previous month, the Labor Department reported on Friday. <\/p>\n

The job growth was the most in nearly a year, and the 12th consecutive month of gains by companies, which added 222,000 workers last month.<\/p>\n

We have a chance to end the Republican recession, unless Republican get policies enacted the starve the economy.<\/font><\/p>\n

From ABC<\/a>: <\/font>Jared Lee Loughner was charged in a 49-count grand jury indictment this week stemming from a Jan. 8 shooting at a political event held by Giffords outside a grocery store.<\/p>\n

"This indictment is comprehensive and is solid, and covers all the murdered and injured victims," U.S. Attorney Dennis Burke said. "There are no distinctions at all between the victims. These victims were exercising one of the most precious and fundamental rights of American citizens."<\/p>\n

Personally I hope they take this Glen Beck lookalike and throw away the key.<\/font><\/p>\n

From TPM<\/a>: <\/font>A pro-life leader in the House says he and many other Republicans will vote against legislation to fund the government through September if a series of anti-abortion riders, which already passed the House, aren’t included in the final bill.<\/p>\n

Didn\u2019t I say that Republican terrorists would be taking hostages again?<\/font><\/p>\n
