Nearly numb from drinking enough wine to make a character from The Sun Also Rises blush.
Sometime in the morning I’ll read this, giggle, then my head will hurt and I’ll lay back down. Occupational hazard.
You idiots are being used. Think for yourselves. If the Fox Network believes it so wholeheartedly, how could it possibly be in your interest? They’ll take your ratings, sure, so they can sell you Charmin and $5 footlongs. I mean, Jesus, how can you not see that? If you had real allies that powerful, don’t you think someone would have taken care of you by now?
For someone who loves so dearly the coverage of political campaigns and politics in general that Hunter S. Thompson did… I can say that Taibbi is carrying that Gonzo torch strong.
Specifically, if you discover, in frustration, that you’re pathologically incapable of doing one thing at a time, consider the possibility that you’ve been unknowingly trying to “focus” on two, twenty, or twenty thousand disparate things that you don’t really care that much about. Just consider it.
The former congressman from Colorado and 2008 Republican presidential candidate blasted Obama, saying “people who could not even spell the word ‘vote’, or say it in English, put a committed socialist ideologue in the White House. His name is Barack Hussein Obama.
Tea Party Convention organizer: Tancredo gave ‘fantastic speech’
Tancredo thinks we voted for Obama because we can’t spell. Fuck you asshole.
My one hope with this Tea Party neo-fascist stuff is that it gains enough momentum to split the Republican party all to pieces.

Saw this open wifi point at Bonefire Smokehouse in Kingsport.
Not sure if Stir Fry has anything to do with this but it is pretty funny.
Last night was another trip to The Main Street Pizza Company. Bacon, ham, and pineapple. Still some speed/service issues to iron out, which hopefully they will because overall I enjoy the pizza and I’m glad we’ve got them downtown.
For a few years now I’ve tried to scribbled down a couple of pages of stuff every morning as a way to clear my head. And after time I’ve come to notice a difference when I go several days and don’t bother.
I was more than excited when Buster sprung 750words.com on us as a way of keeping track of this type of thing privately online. Before I’d used various methods from pen & paper to a private blog to a wiki to just about anything you can imagine to put words in.
What makes this site different, for me at least, is that it give me more reasons other than a clear head to sit down and bang out a few pages of whatever. It has a scoring system that allows you to build up points throughout the month as you complete days. There is a leader board where you can see where you rank, but the best thing are the statistics compiled for each day’s writing.
My former systems were great for getting things out of my head, but I’m a sucker for graphs and data analysis. So being able to go back to last week and get a list of frequently used words, and a pie chart analysis of how it appears I was feeling is gold.
Its free, awesome, Buster seems to be adding new features all the time, and if you are remotely into this sort of thing give it a shot.
Oh, and check out the Explore page for some neat graphs on how people are using the site.
