�Once in his life, every man is entitled to fall madly in love with a gorgeous redhead�

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."
--Theodore Roosevelt, 1918

Science without humanity,
Wealth without work,
Commerce without morality,
Politics without principles,
Pleasure without conscience,

APRIL 14--Air America, summarily booted today off stations in Los Angeles and Chicago for reportedly bouncing a check, is seeking a legal injunction that would return the fledgling liberal network to the airwaves. Air America filed (this) breach of contract lawsuit this afternoon in New York State Supreme Court. The complaint alleges that Multicultural Radio Broadcasting, which owns WNTD in Chicago and KBLA in Santa Monica, improperly yanked the network from its Windy City perch over a dispute involving the California station. Air America, which contends that it has "paid all amounts due" for the leasing of airtime on WNTD, has petitioned for a temporary restraining order that would return shows like "The O'Franken Factor" to the dial.

See? We Liberals never have any money. The upshot is that I�ve lost 7 lbs. on my �I-have-no-money-with-which-to-buy-food� diet.

OK, yes...the assertion that I have �no money� is a slight exaggeration. It�s just that I have so little of it that I haven�t wanted to spend any on such silly incidentals as food. Luckily, today is pay day, so I am off to Trader Joes after work.

But I really have lost 7 lbs. Seven more and I�ll be back down to my usual weight...at which point I will no doubt obsess additionally and continue to want to lose even more weight. Because I am that nut job who is never happy with her body.

Which is interesting, really, since I don�t have a problem with my body when it counts � you know, like when I�m naked and laying next to some hunky dude. That�s one thing I like about myself, actually. As much as I stress over my body image, I�ve never been shy around men in the sack, or felt unattractive at those times. That would really suck. And not in the good way.
