All Time High (April 1 2009): 192.2
Diet start (June 1): 189
Last Friday: 171.0
Today: 170.4
Goal: Sub 160
Things definitely slowing on the diet front, but I'm pleased not to have given anything back. Work/travel sked definitely plays into it (and my blogging!)
Here it is once again my friends, BFFFFA! What's on your mind? Glad the kiddies are back to school? Worried that the President is going to disband the 82nd Airborne Division to appease the Russians? Sound off here or forever hold your peace.

Stay tuned for my thoughts on this issue in tomorrow's CW.
I don't have time to make a post of my own right now but head on over to powerline.blog:

and check out the verbal assault on a properly-elected African American Senator by a racist white reporter. Clearly, there could be no other motivation for this unfair line of questioning than the clear discomfort this reporter has with the color of this Senator's skin.
Less cynically, we should fund ads for every single district/state in which a US Congressman and/or Senator voted to continue taking our tax dollars and funneling them to ACORN. It should show a clip of each one of them saying "AYE" following every short clip of an ACORN criminal saying "we can help with that".
I wonder, given that ACORN is also our President's "alma mater" of sorts, when the scales will sufficiently tip with the msm (lower case to be indicative of their significance in information dissemination today) such that they finally piece together the mounting evidence of this president's lifelong string of associations that merit at least a moment of investigative curiosity in the editorial room. That would not be a big step...no, given how far in the tank they are right now, I suppose it would be. Where are the young Woodwards and Bernsteins today? Oh, they're working the blog circuit. Good riddance msm.
The Massassaassasschusettes (whoa Nelly!) Gov. just got on the tube explaining why they will change their succession law...AGAIN. Originally it called for the Governor to appoint a Senator when the seat was vacated. But when the counterfeit Irish Catholic John Kerry ran for Prez. the Republican Mitt Romney was in office, so the law was change to special election. Now that the Gov. is a Democrat the legislature is in the process of changing the law back to Gov. appointee. Plus they stuck in a provision that required the Gov. to name someone from his own party. Head spinning yet? Boy they get up to some highjinx in Massas, Masasass, eh...up there.
Can we retire the phrase "throwing someone under the bus?"
I agree "throwing someone under the bus" is a tired hackneyed cliche ready for retirement. As a replacement, I suggest the tried and true Southern colloquialism "left 'em with their asses hanging out". I think this phrase speaks to the point, adds color to the language and has the added benefit of being vulgar. Whatta ya think?
Overheard on Capitol Hill this week. "The Afghanistan-Pakistan strategy is as though we’ve gone into a room for with an angry cat and a tiger, Afghanistan being the former and Pakistan being the latter, and we are beating the cat. And when someone asks, “why are you beating the cat?” the answer is, “Oh, it’s a cat-tiger strategy” – it’s an Afghanistan-Pakistan strategy. But in fact, you are beating the cat because you don’t know what to do about the tiger and the connection between those countries is somewhat indirect."
Pelosi warns that politics will soon turn to violence because of the right wingers.
Is there any low to which that woman is not willing to stoop?
For the men on the board: Hannah Giles or Carrie Prejean?
Greg, please apply some facts to your assertions -- your points maybe valid, however, you detract from your thesis by not supporting it. Frankly your analysis is seriously lacking....
Hanna appears to be more natural
Hannah Giles....
GHD--I removed two of your posts, one for profanity, and one for your comical solicitation of personal photography.
You're obviously a smart guy. I like much of your thinking. I think the blog benefits from the best of it. When you say controversial things, folks are going to respond. I'd ask that you try and keep your comments on a higher plane. You were absolutely right to say you weren't posting a dissertation...spot on response. Taking it one step further (as you did) is what will bring down my censorial proclivity.
Again--the blog benefits from your views.
