Tuesday morning

There's a commercial on TV with this guy peddling headache medicine. He's whining about not knowing what "fast" action means, which is what's on the label of one brand. Now, I hate to sound superior on this subject, but.. all of the three-year-olds of my acquaintance know what "fast" means. If a thirtysomething male can't put his finger on what the meaning of that word is, should he really be administering his own medication?

Yep, I'm decidedly on the way towards ill, though I'm not feeling too horrible yet. My main problem at the moment is hunger, and I guess that's something I can go take care of easily enough. ;)

Corruptness

Today, Bush signed legislation enacting a national "do-not-call" list aimed at blocking unwanted telemarketing. This is, of course, good because it'll be a firm step towards killing the telemarketing industry. Charities and surveys and people you've done business with are exempt from this law, of course. Wanna guess who else is exempt? Calls representing politicians, of course.. how else would this bill get through? ;)

And furthermore, a company linked to our esteemed vice president Cheney has won a Pentagon contract about rebuilding oil fields in the case of a potential war. I don't think I need to say anything more about that.
