It appears that there might be a couple days respite from the heat starting tomorrow.  I\u2019m so ready!  I\u2019m current with replies.  Tomorrow appears routine.<\/font><\/p>\n

Today\u2019s took me 4:42 (average 5:47).  To do it, click here<\/a>.  How did you do?<\/font><\/p>\n

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

From MoveOn<\/a>: <\/font>Take One Look At This Quote By Harry Truman And Let Us Know Which Side You’re On<\/p>\n

\"14truman\"<\/p>\n

Unless you are a millionaire, a billionaire, a corporate criminal, or a hatemonger, Republicans do NOT represent YOU!<\/font><\/p>\n

From The Origonian<\/a>: <\/font>President Barack Obama will attend a Tuesday, July 24 fundraiser at the Portland Art Museum, but he apparently doesn’t plan any public events in the city that day. <\/p>\n

The Obama campaign website is now soliciting donors to attend the event<\/a>, with ticket prices ranging from $500 to $5,000 per person. <\/p>\n

$50,000 per person is more typical for Rmoney events. Even if I could afford $500, it\u2019s a volunteer day in prison.<\/font><\/p>\n

From Truthdig<\/a>: <\/font>The Federal Reserve and the U.S. government knew back in 2008 that Barclays was filing false reports about Libor, the interest rate that international banks charge one another for short-term loans, according to documents released Friday. The documents show that a staffer at the U.K.-based bank told the New York Federal Reserve\u2014which was then run by current Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner\u2014more than four years ago about the false reports before the admission was circulated through the federal government. <\/p>\n

I say again, Timmy the Tool should be replaced with either Robert Reich or Paul Krugman.<\/font><\/p>\n
