Friday I filed a closing statement. It was a really proud and exciting moment. I can't wait to see how it turns out, but I have to remember to be patient, since you don't get decisions for quite a while. It felt good to have my name on something.
Friday after work Rino and I helped a friend move. I was more than happy to do it. We were able to do it in one trip because we had two trucks, which was great because the trip ended up being much farther than I had expected. I think I got grumpy towards the end because of all the lifting, but I need to not let external stress add to my internal thoughts. Some guys I met just pissed me off, but I think normally it wouldn't have bothered me not one bit.
After we came to Buda and played poker. It was Rino, Oscar, me and some friends. I didn't play too great, but it felt great to get a home game started. I quickly lost 20 bucks and rebought which put me in a spot to lose 40 for the night. 40 I shouldn't be playing with, but I made the exception because it has been months since I have played. I ended up the night about 6 bucks down and me and the chip leader were left, so I sold him the option of ending the game for 5 bucks. His accounting instincts were good because he agreed and I just ended up a few dollars down and had some good times a few beers. Don't get me wrong, usually I'll play all night, but I just didn't want to put to chance money after I already had a good night. It was fun and hopefully we will be able to do it again.
When I was in the Valley I saw this commercial that made me laugh. The white car dealer said, "Hablamos Ingles Tambien." I think I'm going to steal that.
My political section:
Countdown Special Comment: Bush Either “Pathological Presidential Liar” or “Idiot-in-Chief”. I couldn't agree more.
Here is the hightlight for my more busy readers.
We have either a president who is too dishonest to restrain himself from invoking World War Three about Iran at least six weeks after he had to have known that the analogy would be fantastic, irresponsible hyperbole — or we have a president too transcendently stupid not to have asked — at what now appears to have been a series of opportunities to do so — whether the fairy tales he either created or was fed, were still even remotely plausible.
A pathological presidential liar, or an idiot-in-chief. It is the nightmare scenario of political science fiction: A critical juncture in our history and, contained in either answer, a president manifestly unfit to serve, and behind him in the vice presidency: an unapologetic war-monger who has long been seeing a world visible only to himself.
Billo thinks I'm a devil worshiper.
Paul Krugman delivers a pretty awesome quote:
Back when Hillary Clinton described Dick Cheney as Darth Vader, a number of people pointed out that this was an unfair comparison. For example, Darth Vader once served in the military.
Here’s another reason the comparison is invalid: the contractors Darth Vader hired to build the Death Star actually got the job done.
lonely isn't a good enough reason
