So at the last minute the lady and I decided we are going to trek down to Central Illinois to go boating. On her third week of her new job it seems the stress of the new environment is getting to her and the best way to combat that is of course, a weekend at the dock. We will be hanging out with the family while hopefully getting some sun (why am I not Hawaiin now I don't know!) We have almost done with our first full week of the second month of Insanity and I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooore. It is like month one all over again. I get it now. The whole program makes sense. The first month gets you mentally prepared and helps you lose some lbs. The second month humbles the crap out of you and sculpts your body. In my case...not really sculpt, but perhaps a little definition...needless to say I am still gung-ho and still getting whooped.

Here are your highlights:

The unemployment flatline

Why does the GOP hate Uhmerika and 9/11 so much?

Chicago Public Schools cracking down on cyber bullies - I honestly can't imagine how awful this can possibly be, being an awkward teenager is enough abuse by itself

Really? There are anti-UFO zealots too?

In Blueville

Yesterday a judge shot down major portions of the Arizona immigration law. Protests have sprung up and people are even being bused in from Los Angeles. Good for the judge and good for the protesters. The law itself is part of a nativist, xenophobic and extreme movement that has seeped into America's right wing. Someone somewhere has to put there foot down and say enough already.

Chow!
