It took me longer than usual to find the right materials for today’s articles, but better late than never.  I’m current with replies.  Tomorrow appears routine.<\/font><\/p>\n

Today’s took me 3:40 (average 5:07).  To do it click here<\/a>.  How did you do?<\/font><\/p>\n

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

From MoveOn<\/a>: <\/font>You'll Never Believe Who Rejected A Young Hillary Clinton<\/p>\n

LOL!! I bet that there are a whole lot of Republicans that wish she would fly to the moon!<\/font><\/p>\n

From Daily Kos<\/a>: <\/font>Today, President Barack Obama flew into Dobbins Airforce Base near Atlanta to speak at the College Heights Early Learning Center<\/a> in the relatively sleepy suburb of Decatur, GA.<\/p>\n

The school is renowned for it's quality education. While visiting with students, parents, and administrators, Obama gave a speech where he praised the value of early education.<\/a> This is all common-sense stuff except to those pushing starve-the-beast austerity type measures that hurt the underprivileged and disenfranchised.<\/p>\n

The highlight of the trip, though, was the right reaching an all time low… by shouting racial epithets outside of an elementary school!<\/p>\n

"You're a [n-word]!" one shouted.<\/p>\n

"Go back to Kenya!"<\/p>\n

What can I say? This is a clear cut case of Republicans acting just like Republicans.<\/font><\/p>\n

From MSNBC<\/a>: <\/font>Rachel Maddow exposes the hypocrisy of McConJob.<\/font><\/p>\n

Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news<\/a>, world news<\/a>, and news about the economy<\/a><\/p>\n

Rachel has McConJob down pat, but she's also plugging her Iraq War special this coming Monday. I'm sure that will be worth watching.<\/font><\/p>\n
