Feeling much better today. Health is beginning to return. I owe it all to patience, lots of sleeping, drinking fluids, and not trying to be healthy before I actually am. Today I'm going to take a 20 minute easy walk in the sun.  Watching General Petreus testify today. The Dems are very polite. Sorry I still think we should get the hell out of Iraq. I don't think any more Americans should die there.  Elizabeth Dole is speaking now.

Investor's Business Daily - Oil For Food: It's one of the great scandals of our time, no less so because the big media have mostly ignored it. Now comes a report hinting why some key former allies opposed the U.S.-led war in Iraq: They were bribed.

After spending a day with the old keyword page, and getting bored with it, I came up with a new way to look at news, something I've not tried before, that might be fun and/or useful http://nytimesriver.com/keywords.html  Since it's likely to change again soon, here's a screen shot. How it works. Every hour, as usual, it does the nytimesriver scan. Every story is linked to in the database undern all the keywords it references. Then the report, in HTML, is prepared, with the keywords in the left column, and links to all the stories in the right colum. The list is sorted by number of references, the keywords with the most references appear at the top of the list.  So today, baseball is the top item, with 15 references. The teams, the Cleveland Indians and Colorado Rockies, rank high. For some reason (heh) the Boston Red Sox don't appear, even though they're still in it, and the Yankees, even though they've been eliminated (yay!) are near the top at position 10.  It's another leaderboard! (Oh shit.) The stories age, and are removed after 24 hours. After all this is news, not olds.  If you have comments, post them under the screen shot, linked above. PS: Note that since the list just started up today, the initial stories, even though some are already 24 hours old, will remain in the queue until tomorrow morning at this time. So the list will be artificially fat today, it'll thin down tomorrow.

Having shown up at wired.com of all places just the other day, a story claiming that Paul's campaign staff or his supporters have been (email) spamming to get the message out. This is pure bullshit, and I'll explain why.

Tycho:  Our Turkey Triloging comes to a close with this, our denouement.  Gabriel is, of course, a caricature of the genuine article.  On the other hand, the grandma and the greasy fireman are only too real.  I sometimes wish that the fireman were less real, particularly when I am sent to the basement on an errand.
