A few quick bits from this liberal/progressive...

A few quick bits before I scarf lunch and get back to work...

Politico poll: http://politi.co/nchyuR ...
86% say economy is in poor shape (duh!)
51% blame GW Bush (I'm semi-surprised it's not more)
31% blame Obama (not surprising, but unfair)

Not surprisingly, Darth - I mean Dick Cheney - has no regrets about the use of waterboarding and thinks we should do more: http://on.msnbc.com/pQSgYq

I don't have a link, but I saw a blurb earlier today that the current GOP front-runner is Rick Perry. My interpretation is that the field of candidates is so poor, that the most recently-declared candidate is at the top. I suspect that if Pee Wee Herman were to declare just before the convention in Tampa, he'd get the nomination.

Meanwhile, I've received an email today from Mercy Corps that a child dies every 9 seconds from hunger, and the US Congress is considering cutting programs that feed millions - yet consume less that .01% of the federal budget (compared to 54% for military spending..reference http://bit.ly/32POkl) ...Here's where you can quickly send a message to Congress if you'd like to keep these programs: http://bit.ly/nMhvYQ
