Yesterday was busy.  I\u2019m tired, but I \u2018m doing laundry as I write.  I hate laundry!  I\u2019m up to date with comments and plan to catch up on rest today.<\/font><\/p>\n

Jig Zone Puzzle<\/strong>:<\/font><\/p>\n

Today it took me 4:21 (average 5:18).  To do it, click here<\/a>.  How did you do?<\/font><\/p>\n

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

From Mother Jones<\/a>: <\/font>Send a public records request seeking documents from his 12-year stint as Arkansas governor, as Mother Jones did recently, and an eyebrow-raising reply will come back: The records are unavailable, and the computer hard drives that once contained them were erased and physically destroyed by the Huckabee administration as the governor prepared to leave office and launch a presidential bid.<\/p>\n

Just what is it that Upchuck Huck doesn\u2019t want us to know?<\/font><\/p>\n

From Media Life<\/a>: <\/font>Glenn Beck said today that he will be transitioning out of his hosting job with Fox News, though he’ll still produce some specials for the network through his production company.<\/p>\n

Beck’s show will end later this year.<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s next?  Hannity or O\u2019Lielly?<\/font><\/p>\n

From Think Progress<\/a>: <\/font><\/p>\n

The series of votes this afternoon on four different anti-climate amendments uncovered 17 Democrats who are willing to support the polluter agenda of the 47 science-denying zombies of the Republican Party in the U.S. Senate\u2026<\/p>\n

…To review, the dirty seventeen are Baucus (MT), Begich (AK), Brown (OH), Casey (PA), Conrad (ND), Hagan (NC), Johnson (SD), Klobuchar (MN), Landrieu (LA), Levin (MI), Manchin (WV), McCaskill (MO), Nelson (NE), Pryor (AR), Rockefeller (WV), Stabenow (MI), and Webb (VA). <\/p>\n

Some seek a regional advantage like Brown, Klobichar and Levin.  Some are total DINOs like Nelson and Landrieu.<\/font><\/p>\n
