From Defective Yeti's coverage of the Democrat Debate:
Q: Frankly there's been some concern that because of the racial makeup of Vermont, about 0.5 percent black, that you will have a difficult time connecting and really understanding the concerns of minorities, in particular African Americans.

Dean: Well, if the percent of minorities that's in your state has anything to do with how you can connect with African American voters, then Trent Lott would be Martin Luther King.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Florida (CNN) -- The Air Force launched a top-secret satellite Tuesday for the National Reconnaissance Office, which operates the United States' fleet of spy spacecraft. (from cnn.com)

Not so top secret now....

I am so sore. The "total body tone" class sucked. Way too many reps with really heavy weights (the selection was not great when I got there). Also, those stability balls.... is the name a joke? I've never felt so perilously perched as with that dumb thing. I'm so looking forward to step class now.

Random downloading pays off... I finally gave a random song a chance, and David Mead's World of a King turns out to be...awesome? groovy? I can't find a pleasing descriptor. Fabulous? Smurfy?

Three things: Last night's freaky dreams:
1) Sad dream where I got really upset because I was suddenly a ghost and only a few people could see me.
2) Really angry dream where I had just gotten married and was thanking every one at my reception when someone told me the groom wasn't going to come. I found him and yelled at him (How could a marriage last SIX minutes?!? You bastard!), and then I realized that I couldn't get upset, because I had to act cool for the guests and then pay for the stupid wedding. When I woke up, I realized I would definitely have sued that jerk because his reason for leaving was that he was fooling around with another girl.
3) Scary Sci-fi dream where my group of scientists accidentally released mutated creatures that went into the ocean and were going to come back and eat everyone. Then while we were waiting and watching for the creatures, some Nazis came to arrest a lot of people, including me, and we had to hide.

Okay, not good. I'm feeling just a little emotional.... a Mutual of Omaha commercial just brought me to the verge of tears. So did the Discovery Channel Cat special... This reminds me of the morning I was brought to sobs over a Moby video with the cute little aliens that get ignored. What is up with me?!? This would be the perfect day to try to get me to send money to starving children.

There is no pleasure in having nothing to do;
the fun is in having lots to do and not doing it.
