God, how I love it when politicians and their ilk start talking trash. It’s as if they are truly human after all. Case in point:

Ron Reagan, a television commentator, has frequently been critical of Bush. In 2000, he criticized Bush in Philadelphia during the Republican convention, which featured a tribute to his father. “What’s his accomplishment?” Reagan asked then. “That he’s no longer an obnoxious drunk?”

“Kinder and gentler than who?” Nancy sniffed after [Bush’s] convention acceptance speech.

Being sick sucks. I’ve had some sort of respiratory infection since Monday evening. I’m sure the hour of tai chi, weight lifting, and 4-mile jog/walk didn’t help, particularly after the shopping spree with Pablo on Cedar Springs, and driving to Las Colinas in the afternoon/rush-hour heat with no air conditioning. Yesterday I slept most of the day away, but today I feel much better but still feverish.
