I need a new back today. Despite the sit up and other exertions of unbelievable dedication, the back still goes. And it is quite prepared to go before just before the summer holiday begins. Such is life. Good thing I plan to do nothing.
- Nevermind those who 3% of folk who think George W. Bush will be well remembered by history. He's going to be considered a goofball if his final words to the G8 are anything to go by: "Goodbye from the world's biggest polluter." He has to plan that sort of thing. That can't be what he's coming up with off the cuff.
- I wish Google had reviewed the whole fewer and better ads thing with me. See that over there down to the right? Who am I to complain about who give me that big $350 bucks a year?
- The Mets: 10 for their last 10.
- I have never liked Paul McCartney that much so I guess I am with that 0.3% of Quebecers who are unhappy. Surely he is not the biggest act in the world, surely they could have gotten Plastic Bertrand.
- Kottke noted a great illustration of the disutility of information technology this week. Because the information was not sortable by the critical factor, availability of restaurant seats, the application is practically useless.
- No other politician generated more dancable tunes, though no ska that I know of. Happy birthday, Nelson!
My got to explore the home pharmacy some more. I understand one pill makes you larger and one pill makes you small. But which is which?

In the twilight of his tenure, I have come to realize that Dubya has, rather than governing the USA, been perfecting his unique form of performance comedy. He finds the things he says extremely funny.

Funny, I remember 8 years ago reading an article in Runners World about how both GW and Gore were marathon runners and how given the information on both, in such a biased mag, I thought Bushy looked like a better choice to vote for. Now I see that even in his waning months, he's more of a dick than ever.

The blue pill makes you small. The red pill gets you out of the Matrix.

Tragically, Bush couldn't even get that right: under his administration American emissions have dropped significantly (more than Canada's truth be told) and China's have gone up even more significantly. America is Number 2.

Al, your poor back. Sorry to here that, mon ami.
Have you thought of getting a 'man girdle'? Not those silly suspender things which do little if anything, but the body cast kind of thing. It'll make you stiff and all, but prevent you from moving in ways that set this off. It's a trade off.
Hope you get better soon, man. Take you NSAIDs, half doses work pretty well.
