Last night my COPD was sufficiently severe to keep me up coughing most of the night.  I finally got just enough sleep to get started over two hours late this morning, so I\u2019m running behind.  I\u2019m current with replies.  Tomorrow I have an appointment in the morning that may delay my blogging, bit should not prevent it.<\/font><\/p>\n

From MoveOn<\/a>: <\/font>The Greatest JFK Quote For Liberals<\/p>\n

\"2JFK-Best-Liberalism-Quote\"<\/p>\n

Republicans made liberal<\/em> a dirty word with their lies. It’s time to take it back with our truth.<\/font><\/p>\n

From Seattle Times<\/a>: <\/font>A judge postponed Pennsylvania’s controversial voter identification requirement on Tuesday, ordering the state not to enforce it in this year’s presidential election but allowing it to go into full effect next year.<\/p>\n

That’s a huge win for the good guys. If Republicans want to steal PA they’ll have to find another way.<\/font><\/p>\n

From The New Yorker<\/a>: <\/font>With the first Presidential debate just two days away, G.O.P. nominee Mitt Romney has been working intensively on two skills that have eluded him throughout the campaign: talking and thinking.<\/p>\n

What a hopeless cause!<\/font><\/p>\n
