Yesterday I must have been even more tired than I thought, because, after getting the blog up and eating, I slept from 3 PM until 5 AM, with just a few short breaks.  As a result, I\u2019m somewhat groggy, but that\u2019s OK.  I\u2019m current with replies.  Tomorrow appears routine.<\/font><\/p>\n

Today\u2019s took me 4:11 (average 4:58).  To do it, click here<\/a>.  How did you do?<\/font><\/p>\n

From MoveOn<\/a>: <\/font>If Your House Is On Fire, Which Of These Guys Is More Likely To Send In The Trucks? <\/p>\n

From NY Times<\/a>: <\/font>No American is dedicating as much of his money to defeat President Obama as Sheldon Adelson, the casino magnate who also happens to have made more money in the last three years<\/a> than any other American. He is the perfect illustration of the squalid state of political money, spending sums greater than any political donation in history to advance his personal, ideological and financial agenda, which is wildly at odds with the nation\u2019s needs. <\/p>\n

Adelson’s twin goals are a one state outcome for Israel and to make trickle down<\/em> gush up faster.<\/font><\/p>\n

From 89WLS<\/a>: <\/font>A newly sworn-in congressman who was injured in a mass shooting last year along with then-Rep. Gabrielle Giffords held his first "Congress on Your Corner" event with southern Arizona constituents on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Giffords conducted 21 of the informal meet-and-greet events during her more than four years in office, including one on the day of the shooting – Jan. 8, 2011.<\/p>\n

What a fitting tribute.  I wonder is Sarah Palin will put a bullseye on him too.<\/font><\/p>\n
