Ups and Downs of the Week
Done with School – Defended my thesis (CCK) this week, so I’m done. My degree requirements are complete. No more school for me.
Congress – Can it get any worse?
Patriots – Kicked NY Jets to the curb where they belong. Now they need to dominate the Bears to cement their position as the premier NFL team this year.
Red Sox – They finally opened the purse strings and bought some serious talent. I’m really looking forward to next season now. They still need some starting pitchers and mucho bullpen help.
Ramsau Webcam – Caught a ghost family crossing the bridge.
US Postal Service – The single worst way to ship anything. My order from NY made it from the shipper in some small town in upstate to Forest Park, IL (Chicagoland) in a day. Somehow 3 days later it still hasn’t made it downstate to my door. Pathetic.

I have no problem with Obama. God knows he was the only sensible choice in the last election. I’m completely fed up with Congress in general, though. Both sides of the aisle are stubborn jackasses who would stand by and watch the country disintegrate before they’d compromise on anything.
The new laws were created to prevent the kind of Good Ol’ Boy shenanigans that past governors have used to funnel state money to their supporters. The sad part is that the governor’s office and the legislature are both exempt from the rules created to keep them honest. Business as usual.
