I pulled a muscle in my back this morning.
Maybe it was loading Baby Smithers into his car seat. Maybe it was a result of favoring my right arm. Maybe it was something totally different that I am not even aware of.
Regardless, if I sit very very still and take little short shallow breaths it does not bother me a bit.
But if I move or breath deep the muscle goes into spasm and I can barely speak because it hurts so bad.
I went 20 minutes of my 1:10 scheduled workout this morning before I had to bail out due to the pain and the inability to breath.
What happened to me? It seems like just two or three years ago I felt indestructible. Now it seems like there is something dragging me down just about every god damn day.
This must be what getting old feels like. I guess I am not going to be able to take part in that break dancing contest tonight. I am so disappointed.

Hey, get the hell out of the road jackass.
Ever since stinky Didi made it popular to run out on the course of the race in order to get on the teevee there seems to be an ever increasing number of losers who insist on making a dangerous job even more dangerous.
They dress up in some kind of outrageous costume, carry some kind of outrageous accessory, wait along side the road for the race to come along, and then run out in front of the riders for as long as they can.
These guys are a disaster just waiting to happen. They trip and fall, or drop their accessory, and generally make a nuisance out of themselves. They are a hazard to themselves (not that I really care when some spank gets run over by a motorcycle) and to the pros on the road trying to get their job done.
So this guy finally got what he deserved. He’s a Tom Danielson fan as well, so hopefully they gave him some psychological counseling.
Book ‘em Danno. You got what was coming to you Captain Embarrassment to Your Country. Next year stay home, wear what ever you want and watch the race on OLN VS. If you get busted again next year I hope the cop shoves that flag poll up your rumpelstiltskin.

Pulls the plug.

Seymour Hersh:
We are simply in a situation where this president is really taking his notion of executive privilege to the absolute limit here, running covert operations, using money that was not authorized by Congress, supporting groups indirectly that are involved with the same people that did 9/11.
All of this should be investigated by Congress, by the way, and I trust it will be. In my talking to membership — members there, they are very upset that they know nothing about this. And they have great many suspicions.
Can an entire administration be impeached?
