Well, it was 95° and humid here yesterday, and it’s supposed to be about that again today (maybe a little hotter, even), but nothing’s burning, so I’m not going to complain. We don’t have a very long pool season here (as attested to by that Tearjerkers tune Web lined to the other day), but it was definitely a nice luxury to have yesterday. I only wish the dogs would jump in, but they won’t even go in their little kiddie pool (except to stand in it and get a drink).

If you’ve ever watched Bill Maher, then you already know that Darrell Issa is a dick (I’d use the technical, medical term for that, but I don’t want to risk offending any Michigan Republicans). Well, Darrell continues to be a dick as he vies with Dana Pigfucker for California Republican Dick of the Year. I’m sure everyone knows by now that Issa and his cohorts on the House Oversight Committee voted to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress.

As Stephen Colbert said, it was shocking.

“Shocking, that they found someone who didn’t already hold Congress in contempt.”

FL Governor Rick Scott has been trumpeting the job growth in the Sunshine State. Mitt Romney is not amused.

Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign asked Florida Governor Rick Scott to tone down his statements heralding improvements in the state’s economy because they clash with the presumptive Republican nominee’s message that the nation is suffering under President Barack Obama, according to two people familiar with the matter.

What’s unfolding in Florida highlights a dilemma for the Romney campaign: how to allow Republican governors to take credit for economic improvements in their states while faulting Obama’s stewardship of the national economy. Republican governors in Ohio, Virginia, Michigan and Wisconsin also have highlighted improving economies.

Don’t worry, Mitt. Things still suck around here.
