Oh, even more maddening than our Presidents inability to see beyond the prewritten factoids stuffed in his cookie jar of a brain (btw, side note. I felt kind of sorry for him when he started talking about North Korea. You could almost tell that he actually at some point took interest in this issue. When the topic came up, he was falling over himself to talk about it. It stood in such start contrast to the rest of his lines, and if Kerry had pressed him further about it, I think that Bush, this being the one issue of substance he knew something about, would stumble and misspeak and ultimately weep on stage) was the godawful spinning. Why are these people willing to put their obvious intelligence and talents in politics behind such a dolt? Whats the payoff exactly? Have they had to drink so much Kool-aid to reach this point that it actually makes sense now? I heard a lot of "it was the Professor vs the Regular guy " and because he didnt just totally tank and puke on himself in front of everyone, he did great. This makes me thing of the Fresh Air piece with Jon Stewart. I dont WANT a REGULAR GUY as my fucking president!!! Why would I want an "average Joe" taking on this "hard work" as W put it. I want the professer. I want the wonk who knows the issues, who not willing to farm out policy to his power grabbing underlings, whos not afraid to have press conferences because he doesnt have time to re-learn his talking points , who understands that we dont live in Biblical times and there is no Good or Evil any more.

And now, after a terrific win for Kerry, all we're left with is the right wingers picking through every line of his responses looking for inaccuracies or instances where he didnt get it quite right. Well, I'll let Kerry take it from here:

"You know, when I talked about the $87 billion, I made a mistake in how I talk about the war. But the president made a mistake in invading Iraq. Which is worse?"

Did it, sluts!!

Not a great run. I had to stop midway to, um, spike one. Strangely enough, ran into Des and Bryan as I was exiting my throne of power. That extra time to rest took something out of my form.. about 3/4 of the way home, it started to deteriorate. But in the end I did make it back. Ran my normal route which i guess is about 3 miles plus a little. And waiting for me in the lobby when i returned was the monday morning donuts and coffee. I grabbed a plain one for the drive in.. thats not to bad is it? fuck you then!!!

Tomorrow morning... 5:50... I begin a new regimen. An experiment in self motivation that I've been unable to complete (or even start) up to now. And of course seeing as how I'm a rotten, decrepit 27 year old, is it even possible to change anything now? I might as well blink and wake up a forgetful 87 year old.. dont even mention the keys thing. That scares me enough.

Nah, see, 27 is so fucking young.. it would be so easy for us to remake ourselves into demigods here on earth that to no would desire suicide (or murder.. I'll do you first)

But to wake up early and exercise... shit, to wake up at all that early feels like a huge nobbled (?) ogre is sitting on my chest. Can I push it off? We shall see
