The guy I helped for half a day, when the league site trashed his ID,  thanked me by kicking my butt. \ud83d\ude41<\/font><\/p>\n

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

From Christian Science Monitor<\/a>: <\/font>The New Jersey governor has been saying as much for months. He argued he wasn\u2019t ready and his heart wasn\u2019t in it. And as time marched on, many analysts said, it was just too late to mount a credible campaign. But when push came to shove, and ardent supporters and donors got Governor Christie to step back and reconsider, the final decision centered on his home state.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow is not my time,\u201d Christie said at a news conference in the New Jersey capital, Trenton. \u201cI have a commitment to New Jersey that I simply will not abandon.\u201d<\/p>\n

I strongly suspect that toilet paper use is way up among the ABR (anyone but Romney) crowd in Goperville.<\/font><\/p>\n

From USA Today<\/a>: <\/font>The House has passed a short-term spending bill that keeps the government running for six weeks and buys time for future budget negotiations.<\/p>\n

The 352-66 vote sends the measure to President Obama in time to avert a government shutdown at midnight…<\/p>\n

…The vote also ends a fight over whether some aid for victims of Hurricane Irene and other natural disasters should have been offset by cuts elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Lawmakers decided to drop $1 billion in disaster relief and cuts to a loan guarantee program that helps automakers retool factories to meet new fuel economy standards.<\/p>\n

We won one for a change.  The Republican economic terrorism of blackmailing America will be back.<\/font><\/p>\n

From Politico<\/a>: <\/font>The U.S. Supreme Court appears likely rule in favor of a death row inmate in Alabama who missed a deadline for appeal when a court notice sent to his lawyers at a top New York City firm was returned to sender because both lawyers had left the company.<\/p>\n

Liberal and conservative justices alike, with the exception of Justice Antonin Scalia, signaled on Tuesday that they would throw out a federal appeals court ruling on Cory Maples that was based on the missed deadline.<\/p>\n

It amazes me that even Scalia could be such a bastard, but I bet Teabag Thomas is goose-stepping right behind him.<\/font><\/p>\n
