Get Your Dunkin Thursday

Oh Thursday how I loathe you right now. Not quite Friday, although it is around the corner and what do you bring? Cloudy, muggy, humid grossness. Yes grossness. Chicago this summer has been much warmer, but with every couple of warm days comes rain. Lots of rain and that overlapping sticky feeling. Let's just say no one likes sweating while it rains and that has occurred on more than one occasion. How does that happen? I would just like Chicago to stay around the 80 mark and then a light breeze. Is that so difficult? Climate scientists get on this please!

Here are your highlights:

Deficit Shocker

No surprise here, Politico doesn't get or doesn't care to understand the liberal blogosphere

Argentina passes gay marriage law

What kind of writer are you? I apparently write like Kurt Vonnegut...

Utah Illegal Immigration List - the epitome of Fear the Brown People. So much for the land of the free.

Feel Hopey people all is well. The Jobless Report decreased! Of course it is still at record highs, but who cares about that technicality anyway?

Ta-Nehisi Coates writes it so I don't have to, The NAACP is Right. As I stated yesterday the Tea Party's response to the NAACP was all the evidence one needed to deduce who is right and who is wrong in this matter. You can paint it any color you want, it's still racism and it is deeply seeded in the rhetoric of the American Right and in the forefront of the Tea Party.

Chow!
