- President Clinton is addressing the National Governor's Association on the effects of the economy, the current clip specifically citing how to improve the lives of the nation's poor. I wonder if a certain member of the Association is listening. More importantly, I wonder what it would take for that member to get his head out of his ass... and actually assist his constituency.
- Business sense does not necessarily equate to helping the poor (raises hand).
- I'm taking my wife to the doctor, and I truly, truly fear the bill... and I have insurance. I wonder how folks make it, or if they make it. My salary is more than egregious, and I crawl.
Is education the saving grace? I have a Bachelor's, and I'm ashamed to even mention my salary. Will my Master's help? Double it? Is there even a fix for me, but more importantly... everyone else?
At least we have governments that have their heads on straight. They've got their priorities together.

Update Shots, 7/13/2008
- I love wedded life.
- I am still Office Manager at DEP's AML. The romantic edge is off, which leads me to...
- I'm starting film school in the fall. I'm also going to work full-time. Call me insane if you wish.
- Yes, I have my tickets to go see TDK at midnight. I'm waiting until the end of August to go to Cincinnati to see it in IMAX.
- We may be spending Christmas in Rancho Mirage.
- The institution of government is still a mess. Democrats and Republicans yell about everything, and solve nothing.
- I still have yet to find a state after denouncing my citizenship to the state of West Virginia.
- I've dropped another 20 pounds since June 1st.
- A few good books have come my way, and they were each a pleasure to read.
- Kristen has taken it upon herself to integrate me into her musical tastes. Depeche Mode has been the most effective strategy thus far.
- Many notable names have passed away in the past 12 months. I'm not necessarily implying deeper meaning.
- The election coverage is ridiculous. When are these idiots going to debate? Then again, I'm not sure if I care.
- I have officially mastered the art of cooking great spaghetti. My own concoctions are the best I've tasted. I would love to have some test dummies to further this theory, and further perfect my craft.
- How in the blue fuck can I still play drums after not touching them since 1996?
- I'm interviewing employees for a short-term assignment (6 months). I haven't been that impressed thus far.
- I really haven't spent time with my friends lately, which is disconcerting.
- 2008 has been a good year to go to the movies. Cloverfield, Iron Man, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, the Incredible Hulk, and Get Smart were all worthwhile. Call me crazy, but I like the Incredible Hulk the best of that bunch.
- Why are folks surprised when they read shit like this?

- And this? http://www.wvgazette.com/News/200807120355 The aforementioned articles is yet another testament to the effectiveness of West Virginia and its programs.
- Yesterday, there were four channels with NASCAR on them at the same time. Fortunately, I had enough restraint not to cut myself.
