Why can't I use the Press This bookmarklet in my wordpress.com blogs?

  I’ve been unable to use the Press This bookmarklet in two of my wordpress.com blogs:

  http://scitechhawaiidigest.wordpress.com.
  http://kh6jrmdotnet.wordpress.com.

  I can’t get any highlighted text to transfer. All I get is a link, no text. I believe the java script is being removed, so all I can get when I push the Press This button a link. Am I correct in this assumption? Will I have to use a self-hosted (.org) version of wordpress to use Press This? Thanks for your help.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi Russ,

  I was able to make it work on both sites as seen here:
