In other words, it&#8217;s gonna be too damn hot.  I guess I&#8217;d be happy to see the warm weather come if I could actually walk, but seeing as things seem to be getting worse rather than better in the whole foot department, so I really don&#8217;t care.<\/p>\n<p>Normally, I&#8217;d be looking forward to the weekend (such as it is), but this is the worst kind of holiday weekend &#8211; where you don&#8217;t get an extra day off, but are stuck doing &#8220;family&#8221; related things that screw up your Sunday.  In this case, it means sitting around watching my wife get irritated by her parents while my mother-in-law insists I that I eat more (and anything I eat while she&#8217;s futzing around in the kitchen &#8211; which is pretty much the whole time that we&#8217;re eating &#8211; doesn&#8217;t count), and my father-in-law asks me questions about politics and gets pissed when I don&#8217;t agree with him.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/openleft.com\/diary\/18095\/obama-succeeds-in-becoming-a-nonideological-president-in-one-surprising-way\">Here&#8217;s an interesting statistic<\/a>: by apparently standing for more or less nothing, Barack Obama has managed to have his approval ratings drop more or less equally amongst Liberals, Moderates, and Conservatives.  Nice job.<\/p>\n<p>Like Tiger Woods, David Duchovny, and Jesse James, I&#8217;m thinking I ought to check myself in to sex rehab.  My only question is, can you consider yourself a sex addict if there aren&#8217;t really any women willing to have sex with you?  And, if you happen to be a rich, famous, good-looking guy that has sex with lots of women, does that make you a sex addict, or just, like, a guy with options?<\/p>\n<p>Oh well, it&#8217;s about that time, I guess.  <\/p>\n<p>When you get home tonight, eat your supper like it&#8217;s your last.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s April 1st, which means I have about two weeks to find all my tax return stuff.
