Expats Against Bush. Excellent. Count me in.

Oh yeah, it’s on. Tonight at 7:30 pm – USA vs. Scotland. Go Eagles! Anybody in Sydney want to meet me at the pub for this one?

Update: Poo. I can’t find anybody to go with and the Snook’s busy with his workmates tonight. This is a sign that I should go back to my original plan of going to the gym instead of drinking beer.

Roger Ebert writes a lovely ode to autumn leaves that includes a rant about leaf blowers and Dubya’s stance on the environment. “Bush views the environment with the same interest the Romans took in the Sabine women.” Heh.

Damn. USA lost to Fiji by one stinkin’ point! Too bad. Good effort, Eagles.

Am I the only one that hopes this genetic discrimination law will be eventually used to protect homosexuals? As good ol’ Ted Kennedy says, “No American should be denied health insurance or fired from a job because of a genetic test.” Now all we need to do is find the genetic basis, and whoomp! There it is! How sneaky of Congress. I like it.

Critics of the Atkins Diet have long argued that people lose weight on it simply because they eat less food. Guess what? That may not be the case. Subjects in this study lost more weight on a higher-calorie, low-carb diet than others did on a low-calorie, high-carb diet. Guess not all calories are created alike, huh? I like how the researchers’ minds are clearly blown by these results. I guess this is encouragement for me to quit cheating and get back into Induction.
