You know, I was thinking about doing a whole invective about what happened in Tuscon; I don't have the fucking energy. I've been tiring myself out over the last two days thinking about it. I'm sick of everything sometimes. I get really bummed out that everything seems so fucking awful--the breadth of it all, and all the slime and oil stained dirt ( Read more... )

Started the day late but on a roll, followed up on the UN's climate deal from Cancun, getting the strong vibe it's a stinker: The industrial world abandons Kyoto for at least another year, and championed provisions allow for basically the same levels of pollution hiding behind the left's favorite shaky science, carbon credits; this time carbon ( Read more... )

But he got kickbacks from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac... and Bob Loblaw! God, I hope there are some game College Republicans in Oxford this weekend.

My neighbor, Debbie, is a wreck. She's just barely on this side of crazy. Her phone was turned off this month, which put the (what's it called?) on Joey and me to provide our phones for her back-and-forths with Rick, the semi-resident handyman around these parts, and her on-again/off-again lay. About three weeks ago she appeared at our door near ( Read more... )

Got on the bike for the first time today. Almost killed me, but it was good, and if it doesn't rain Friday I'm going to keep it up ( Read more... )
