I think I\u2019m back in the saddle, as I have a full slate of articles today, and haven\u2019t felt like I\u2019m draining myself to accomplish that.  We\u2019ll see after everything is written, posted and publicized, and after I return from a perishables run.  I\u2019m current with replies.  Tomorrow appears routine.<\/font><\/p>\n

Today\u2019s took me 3:43 (average 4:54).  To do it, click here<\/a>.  How did you do?<\/font><\/p>\n

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

From MoveOn<\/a>: <\/font>Bernie’s No-Bullsh_t Defense Of Social Security That’s All Over Facebook<\/p>\n

That must be why Republicans want so desperately to destroy it.<\/font><\/p>\n

From NY Times<\/a>: <\/font>A Florida judge on Friday revoked the bond of George Zimmerman, who has been charged with second-degree murder in the shooting of Trayvon Martin, after state prosecutors argued that Mr. Zimmerman, with the help of his wife, had misled the court about his finances. <\/p>\n

He also lied about having a backup passport that he could have used to flee the country.<\/font><\/p>\n

From WCVB<\/a>: <\/font>Massachusetts Democrats are gathering for their party’s state convention in Springfield, where delegates will weigh in on the U.S. Senate race.<\/p>\n

Harvard Law School professor Elizabeth Warren is expected to easily win the party’s endorsement at Saturday’s gathering. But Marisa DeFranco, an immigration attorney from Middleton, would also qualify for the September primary ballot by picking up the support of at least 15 percent of the delegates.<\/p>\n

With no offence to Marisa DeFranco, I hope she fails so that Elizabeth can focus on Bagger Brown.<\/font><\/p>\n
