Yesterday I spent most of the day resting, but I did clean out my email.  My nether regions still have not recovered.  I\u2019m current with replies.  Tomorrow I shall dress in black, mourning the missing light from the Ellipsoid Orb.<\/font><\/p>\n

Today it took me 4:13 (average 5:38).  To do it, click here<\/a>.  How did you do?<\/font><\/p>\n

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

From Care2<\/a>: <\/font>The 99% Declaration and its call for a "national general assembly" in Philadelphia in July is not affiliated with or endorsed by Occupy Wall Street, and the organizers’ plans blatantly contradict OWS’ stated principles. <\/p>\n

Kudos to Kit at Care2 for an excellent find.  Although there are parts of the declaration, with which I agree, I feel that the writers\u2019 manner in putting this forward, as part OWS, lacked integrity.  I have said often that the 99% declaration represents only the 25 or so people, who composed it, because it had never received any endorsement from OWS.  This is the first I have learned that OWS has disclaimed and discredited it.<\/font><\/p>\n

From MoveOn<\/a>: <\/font>A Past Vice President Tried To Warn Us About This A Long, Long Time Ago<\/p>\n

How little have Wallace\u2019s fascists changed in their transformation into today\u2019s Republican Party.<\/font><\/p>\n

From The Cap Times<\/a>: <\/font>House Budget Committee chairman Paul Ryan is pressuring the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History because it has archived and displayed posters from last winter’s Wisconsin protests against Gov. Scott Walker’s assault on collective bargaining rights.<\/p>\n

Ryan wants the posters removed, as do several other prominent Republicans.<\/p>\n

The struggle for freedom by the heroic people of Fitzwalkerstan, formerly Wisconsin, has a rightful place in the history of Americans rising against oppression.  Ryan can put his attempt to rewrite history where the sun never shines.<\/font><\/p>\n
