I Used to Feel Invincibly Beautiful

And I'm aging now. I'm watching a show about depraved roman dictators and bizarre sexual practices of ancient Rome. Quite a strange culture; so interesting to see what life was like pre-Christianity.

Their society was incredibly complex; people made entire careers out of being under arm hair pluckers, for example.
I'm stressed out about this week.

Sun 0830:
my hero john McCain is duking it out with a somewhat disappointing replacement for Tim russert on "meet the press." he says the pres isn't getting enough credit for the current economy, which he feels is a good one.
NBC military analyst general Barry mccaffrey (ret) is an advisor for "meet the press," and offers a very pragmatic, these-are-the facts analysis. I love how law enforcement and military folk can tell it like it is, not how it "should" be or how we'd "rather" it be. This general argues that whether we need more troops or not in Iraq is not the point, because we simply don't have any more, and therefore we cannot win that conflict militarily, which is an interesting contrast to what McCain said, that we do need more troops (and presumably have them).
