Been playing a fair bit lately so I'll have a hand or two soon.  This is more of a stream of consciousness post.

John Edwards.  I supported him.  He's a weasel.  Even I don't bat 1000.  Sorry.  (That campaign never took off.  Wondered why.  I think now we know why.)

Inspector Gadget died.  Sorry to hear the news.  When posting on someone's eulogy message board, spell his name right.

Obama.  I thought it was funny that for the first 6 months of his presidency everyone called him 'Obama' and now everyone calls him 'the President.'  I agree that 'President Obama' doesn't exactly roll of the tongue but ...'

Snakebite.  My medical bills came to about $57,000 for a non-overnight, non-emergency, 16-hour stay in the emergency room.

Go Ducks.  Oregon's playing in the Rose Bowl.  Don't punch opposing players in the face.  I went to UO my junior year.  Eugene is cool.  Grateful Dead.  ROTC.  Animal House.

Hook 'em.  Texas plays for a spot in the National Championship game tonight against Nebraska.

Gate-crashers.  Here in 'murrica we don't prosecute war criminals, but we do prosecute uninvited guests.

Health care reform.  Actually no, just health insurance reform.  Doctors who charge $57,000 for 16 hours of non-emergency emergency room care will be able to continue to do so.
