But I kind of wish that Trump and Palin were still running, just to add that extra splash of insanity.

In Canadian political news, the center-left party is flirting with making marijuana less illegal, or maybe even legalizing.

A brief and disparaging comment about American politics.

Does anyone actually enjoy the Christmas season?

Sometimes I wonder if the whole world just faking it through the ho-ho-ho bullshit, everyone else appears to be enjoying it so I don't want to be the Scrooge.

Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of tired, outstripped Five-Nines that dropped behind.

Well, %GROCERY_MEGACORPS% has a sale on smoked picnic shoulders this week. I've got one in my fridge right now, vacuum packed in heavy plastic.

It's very tempting to toss the thing into my biggest stock pot, set the oven to 175F and let'er go for 24 hours and see what I get.

I'm restless as hell. The physical caffeine addiction has been broken, but I still crave it. Craaaave it.
