Note to self: All sodas henceforth are to be caffeine free or you don't touch them. Caffeine just screws up your sleep pattern too much and you wake up zombiefied. It's not worth it.

I've actually started calorie counting again which is giving me a good idea of how many I take in on any given day. It's amazing how quickly snacks can send the total shooting up. I never feel like I'm eating all that much, but the numbers say otherwise. Better to know and do something about it than to just feel wretched and helpless, so I'm looking at this as a good thing overall. Knocking 500 calories off per day and/or adding in more moderate exercise should put me at one less pound per week. So theoretically by July I should be back where I want to be. Theoretically.

Treated the cats for fleas last night and neither of them pouted or hissed about it, yay! Hopefully that'll take care of the little parasites and keep them from biting either them or me. If I see any more I'll get more aggressive about it, but for now I'm feeling quite accomplished.

So who's going to tell this general he's a defeatist terrorist-loving traitor?

Well you have to admire the honesty...

Dick Morris on terrorists:

MORRIS: I think that withdrawal from Iraq — it obviously gives al Qaeda a huge victory. Huge victory. On the other hand, if we stay in Iraq, it gives them the opportunity to kill more Americans, which they really like.

One of the things, though, that I think the antiwar crowd has not considered is that, if we’re putting the Americans right within their arms’ reach, they don’t have to come to Wall Street to kill Americans. They don’t have to knock down the trade center. They can do it around the corner, and convenience is a big factor when you’re a terrorist.

In the comments at World o' Crap:

“convenience is a big factor when you’re a terrorist. A CNN/Gallup poll of sworn enemies of the United States conducted inside Gitmo, the secret prisons in Eastern Europe, and various Federal and INS/ICE installations found that the following were cited as the most important factors in choice of target:

Convenience 43%
Hatred of specific target 21%
Instructions from imam 16%
Body count/shock value 14%
Likelihood of reaching
paradise/virgins 6%
