Never thats exactly what i did.I like Vegas, it's a parody of itself. Though I usually end up just wandering around at night feeling lonely. Usually stay at hotels off the strip these days, went to a delightful buffet at the Red Rock, which I must say both the architecture and interior design were very nice, not at all kitschy.
Currently watching/listening to International Jazz Day at the UN on PBS, trying to get rid of the remnants of my hangover with some steel reserve, not that I would normally drink that, but I'm short on cash. I've been drinking stupid amounts of wine this week. Prolly not a good idea since they have me on bupropion now.
Seems BMPEA is getting a lot of negative media attention (perhaps rightly so, given the context is its inclusion in deceptively labeled nutritional supplements). This sorta thing has been pretty common since they banned ephedrine, right?
Saving space by tagging my rambling:

What does that even mean? There's some significant differences between libertarians, establishment Republicans, and the Christian right. I guess he probably means he likes free markets and hates gun control, or some such ill-considered political orientation. I think my preference is for the now endangered moderate Republican (I think Bush Sr. is an underrated president, he jailed bankers when they fucked up the economy, and he handled the breakup of the Soviet Union admirably, which Clinton ruined, but whatever. He should never have went with the "Read my lips, no new taxes!" thing, but at the same time he shouldn't be condemned for putting the public good over his popularity/campaign promise. Oh, and his justified approved war with Iraq was ended promptly without any regime change nonsense. He was a cautious man.) over moderate Democrats, yet I prefer the hard left over the hard right. While I want the same things as Progressives in many instances, where they say "Now!" I say "Within the next few decades." For example, going straight for same-sex marriage has fueled the partisan polarization that has given us Government shutdowns and generals failures in governance, it would have been better to advocate civil unions, and then wait 10 years or so before demanding marriage. Consensus building is important, traditionalists are watching the country they believed in crumble before their eyes since the 60s, they might not be so intransigent if we were to advance by inches. Perhaps it is the result of my corporatism, but social stability is a cardinal value for me, the pursuit of reform should not be so quick as to throw significant numbers of people into anomie or produce destructive factionalism. I guess the point of this digression is that conservatism can mean gradualism, you can be a rightist without being a reactionary.
One of my idiosyncrasies is that I think in terms of centuries. I see problems that we need to tackle over the course of the 21st century, it is not particularly important that they happen within my lifetime (excepting climate change, that's fate-of-the-world level serious.).
^Very interesting THR, I read your tagged section and it was quite thought provoking.
I've never been to a mule show before, but they're going to be at a festival I'm going to next weekend. So excited, I can't waitSo I'm not camping anymore (my girl isn't going because she has been randomly feeling sick recently) and I didn't want to be the third wheel. But now I'm going to see Govt Mule tomorrow night.
And lots of music and hiking all weekend. So no loss.
