the end of a week

just before they closed for the day, i managed to pick up a nike+ sportsband from marathon sports. i am excited about taking my running ocd to a new level.

today's shields and brooks had some great comments by mark shields, about obama's steadfast opposition to the gas tax holi-gate:

What Obama ought to do is say: This is the worst of Washington politics. This is what it is. This is bait-and-switch. This is Washington politics at its cheapest. They really think you're dumb. They think you're so dumb that they can buy you off.

...

And he ought to do it just on the basis and tie it -- this is the same kind of politics that had a "Mission Accomplished" sign up five years ago, that said there were weapons of mass destruction. That's what's wrong.

And I'm telling you what you don't want to hear. You want someone that tells you what you want to hear? You've got McCain, and you've got Clinton.

i haven't really gotten into the new portishead yet. i am a big fan of the vinyl+usb dongle distribution method.
