All Time High (April 1 2009): 192.2
Diet start (June 1): 189
Last Friday: 172.6 (2/12/10)
Today: 174.2
Goal: Sub 150
Sub 150's looking dim these days--I seem to have hit an equilibrium point. Well, that's not exactly true--I didn't eat/exercise as well the past two weeks as I did the week ending 2/12. Back to work, another opportunity to excel.
Enough of that already--what are you thinking about these days? Any topics you want to talk about on the radio show? How'd the GOP do in the healthcare summit yesterday? I haven't seen any video, but I read that my man Paul Ryan did a fine job. Sick of winter yet? I said to the Kitten last night that I'd never been more excited for Spring.
Share, people. Share.

Summit: Ryan did do a good job, but I thought Lamar Alexander actually did the finest job for the GOP. Obama was a pompous ass in the McCain exchange. The Democrats' sad-sack-a-palooza was priceless, topped by the Congresswoman who told the pathetic tale of the woman who was forced to wear her dead sister's dentures.
Why are the Dems again pushing healthcare reform so hard when the American people have so clearly rejected it? In a word survival. Two White House heavyweights have their careers on the line with this issue, David Axelrod and Rahm Emanuel. After Brown's election in Mass there were grumblings in the press about a shakeup at the WH. That was the liberal establishment saying you blew it. Those rumblings have stopped, for the time being. The powers that be know full well this is Gettysburg, lose this one and you're Jimmy Carter. Don't forget there are two bills already passed, one Senate, one House. Get one to pass the other and Obama has his bill. THAT is the direction they'll take, not the nuclear option. Look for the Senate to adopt the House bill, it's the most radical and would be the easiest to pass.
183.5
Looks like we'll be the same weight by Easter.
Tom de Plume--must be a load to carry, always having to compete with your little brother....
I think "younger brother" will be more appropriate in another month or so...

Pretty soon you guys will be asking each other "Does my ass look big in these trousers?"
Jesus, I've told you guys before. Eat a good diet, do your exercise thing and let the chips (weight) fall where it may. Anything else and you're going against billions upon billions of years of evolution. God damn that's a scary thought. Billions of years of evolution and what we get is the McGrath boys. Where's my 9mm?
Just joined the 21st century and bought an ipod(nano)for my birthday. Any suggestions as to essential artists/songs/albums?
Yeah.
1) Abbey Road
2) Dark Side of the Moon
3) Led Zep II
4) Achtung Baby
5) Hank Williams Jr. and Friends
6) Lynyrd Skynyrd, Second Helping
7) The Allman Brothers Band at the Fillmore East
8) Bob Marley Legend
9) Charlie Rich, Behind Closed Doors
10) Who's Next
Didn't catch much of the "summit," but what I saw made me worry for our republic. The current holder of the office of President is still acting like the senator he used to be. He should not be engaging individual senators (or groups thereof) in public debate, it demeans his office. Debate on policy should be conducted between the Executive and Legislative branches, not between Barack and Paul.
And addressing a senator by his first name in a public discussion? The man is not only an incompetent tyro, he is also a boor. Attempting to demean someone in that manner shows that he lacks class, among his many other faults.
Have the early missteps of the Obama administration - right out of the blocks really - precluded an honest and throughgoing party self-analysis and corrective action implementation for the GOP and conservatives? What I mean to say is, was the opportunity to make political hay presented too soon for the party to do any substantive righting of its ship?
RT--your input should be expanded to a post.
Homework on a Friday? Come on!!!
Are we going to see "Falklands II"? I love reading the British message boards and noting how they now consider us back stabbers with no loyalty. Maybe they should have expected that when they and the rest of the Euroweenies supported the presidential run of the son of a Kenyan. I guess Barack Hussein considers it payback time for that whole colonial era.
