Hmm. Well this old laptop just ate the post I had started, the one I had promised FINX about 6 months ago. Mmmmm, technology, such a demon. Funny thing about motivation and inspiration, it can so easily be squashed.
Some good news this week, some bad. I would have to put Delay's indictment and Frist's investigation by the SEC into the good category. I doubt it is more of the sea change that some believe Cindy Sheehan started, but it would be good to take down these hypocritical oafs. Of the bad, I see two big ones this week. One would be the hemorrhoid of a man by the name of Pombo. Republican congressman Pombo from Tracy, California has proposed a very large revamp to the Endangered Species Act. A biological deficit to be paid off by future generations, much like the national debt created by GW. Based on what I've recently learned of this man he is a huge ass wound that, well, must be removed. The second bad is the confirmation of Roberts today. It's not the nomination that is necessarily so bad, he was smart enough to not divulge any information that could lead anyone to form an opinion. The bad thing here is the failure of the Democrats to find any sort of alliance. The Democrats continue to fail, to work alone and continue to be weak.
Upside? Peace and happiness in one's own personal life. However, if you are connected to the outside world, give a damn about family, friends and other living beings, if you are a compassionate person, it is hard to not feel a certain amount of melancholy about all the bad that is done in the world by awful people in power.
Cycling is good because it allows me to think about myself and MY life. It gives me strength, takes weakness and lets me challenge myself. One more mountain bike race coming up in October and cyclocross season has started. I may have a taste of that...

Right on brother! Let yer freak flag fly! Funny you should use the phrase "hypocritical oaf" to describe Dr. Frist, seems more accurate and honest than him pretending to adhere to the "hippocratic oath" he took to become a doctor. Shouldn't that oath apply to his governing as well as his medical practice?
Keep up the good work vudu!
i'll contribute some good & bad or (: & ):

House shrinks species shield: The House on Thursday passed the most sweeping overhaul to the Endangered Species Act since the landmark environmental bill was born 32 years ago.
The House approval by a 229-193 vote marks a triumph for Rep. Richard Pombo, R-Tracy, who has unsuccessfully sought changes in the law for more than a decade.
