"Let me say for the umpteenth time, George W. is not a stupid man. The IQ of his gut, however, is open to debate. In Texas, his gut led him to believe the death penalty has a deterrent effect, even though he acknowledged there was no evidence to support his gut's feeling. When his gut, or something, causes him to announce that he does not believe in global warming -- as though it were a theological proposition -- we once again find his gut ruling that evidence is irrelevant. In my opinion, Bush's gut should not be entrusted with making peace in the Middle East." -- Molly Ivins (via Jone Johnson Lewis' collection of quotations on about.com)

04:21 pm - Not My Best Day

Summary of my day: ow.

My wrist has gotten worse, and the fibro is making things especially difficult -- the back pain when I woke in the wee hours was particularly impressive.

I've got social events I want to go to this weekend, but at this point I'm not optimistic about being able to go even if I find rides.

Fortunately I found a web interface for something I needed to deal with, so I didn't need to walk to the Post Orifice to send registered mail after all. I wouldn't have made it that far.
