I feel your pain. I was illness free all winter. Now, pollen is kicking my ass.
I’m thinking about calling in a defoliant strike on my neighborhood.
On the other hand, the weather is perfect.

On Thursday Alberto Gonzales told us he is working tirelessly to be sure he has every American’s back covered…especially our children. Should the firing of six top performers make us feel better?
I don’t know about anyone else but I’ve always been suspicious of the guy that seems to go out of his way to tell you he’s “got your back covered”.
See a sarcastic visual that demonstrates how many Americans feel when the Attorney General reassures us that he’s got our backs covered…here:

it probably has something to do with changes in barometric pressure (although your headaches would be atypical — headaches are generally associated with higher pressure, while the weather associated with your headaches are generally found in low pressure situations.)

If you do not feel good have you thought that maybe a guilty conscience is to blame? So ask yourself what have I done to make GOD angry, Lord? If you open your heart and start loving not hating and supporting treason you will find the truth that supporting abortion is WRONG and you will feel better with Jesus.
Also, Vicks makes both a spray and an inhaler that looks like a miniature vibrator that clears you up without making you pass out.

80 degrees and sunny here in NC. I’m sometimes surprised at how much difference a couple of hundred miles makes.

Jake,

Channeling Paddy on the latest Gallup and Iraqi polls:
Bush Approval in USA: 33%
Democrats in Congress Approval in USA: 33%
Al-Maliki Government Approval in Baghdad: 34%
You’re doing a heckuva job, Washington — the Iraqi government is beating both US parties in popularity in a city that gets regular car bombs . Al-Miliki’s Iraq-wide numbers blow our guys away (54%). Perhaps Iraq can become an example to others, after all.

I saw Idiocracy last night and laughed my ass off. Once I recovered I thought about it and wanted to cry…

I get that too. I think its because I took a few shots to the jaw while playing high school hockey.

It’s just the rockets’ red glare and bombs bursting in air joyously signaling the triumphant Republican brand of democracy in Iraq is still there.

Damn 66%ers, ruining it for the 34%ers.

Ugh. I hate sports drinks anyway LOL.

Newsweek had Bush’s approval numbers at 30% nationally, but I’m sure his numbers in Washington, D.C. are far, far lower–he got 9.34% of the vote there in 2004, down from 9.47% in 2000, so his current approval in D.C. is almost certainly in the single digits.

As p.lukasiak points out above, your headaches are almost certainly related to changes in barometric pressure. However, the condition that you describe in terms of current weather strongly suggests that perhaps you should consult your doctor; sinus-related headaches would normally occur with the inverse pressures associated with weather.

Which is double approval for Republicans.
Gotta give him credit. He didn’t even flinch when that mortar round landed.

John,
We need a rant about rat poison in cat food.

Just because he lives here doesn’t mean we have to like our pResident.

Wow. Read the headline and immediately thought “epilepsy”. What’s my problem?

Maybe you’re a sally? I’ll put out the A.P.B. for John’s sack. It appears to be missing.

waddya mean, “again”?

It’s raining here. And it’s unusually cold. Darn you global warming!
I see that there’s an ad for RINO Rudy in the sidebar. Fruity Giuliani? No thanks.
GO RINOs! /sarc
Yeah, whatever. It’s no worse in Iraq than Detroit or Chicago.
Take that, Paddy wannabe!

The Democrat controlled congress must be doing much better than Chimpy McHitler then, right? Huh?
27.5%? Wow, they’re really kicking ass! President Bush is on the run!

I get sinus headaches daily.
Claritin-D is what you need.

Or perhaps an EXTRA BIG-ASS TACO.

I get those every time I have to drive over the mountains. Change in altitude just gives me the type of sinus headache where I feel like my teeth are going to fall out of my head. I now keep a jumbo jar of Advil Liqui-Gels in the glove compartment. They’re a godsend.

I get this too, and it’s brutal. You can really relieve the pressure by rubbing your thumbs in three lines across your face — from the bridge of your nose out along the eyebrows, from the same spot underneath your eyes, and then finally from the same spot down the side of your nose. Trust me.

And you still don’t get it. When we set the precedent of interpreting the Geneva Convention as we see fit, we open the doors for everyone-else and their brother to do the same when our guys are captured.
Which one of these holds more water:
“We hope that Nation XYZ treats our captured troops just as humanely as we have treated all of our prisoners of war. The United States has a long history of maintaining the human rights of every citizen of planet Earth, even our enemies, and we expect other nations to do the same.”
–or–
“We hope that Nation XYZ treats our captured troops just as humanely as we treat everyone captured on the battlefield in uniform who fits into category B of the Tortured Logic clause which prohibits ‘severe interrogation methods’ on Sundays and Wednesdays depending on the amount of information they may or may not be able to provide to the interrogators who may or may not be properly trained to deal with such a situation”

Tell it to the Vietman/First Gulf war POWs.
You just want to give Geneva Convention/US Constitutional protections to everybody. So a terrorist can completely disreguard the them and still enjoy the benefits of them.
This comment by Dale Franks says it all about the Geneva Conventions and Terrorists.

And you still don’t get it. That’s why they are our enemy. They are our enemies because they torture people and have no regard for human life. They kill kids, use human shields and every other deplorable method of destruction. That’s why they are our enemies.
They are our enemies. Our polar opposite — because we are the good guys. They cut people’s heads off — we do not! They target civilians — we do not! They torture their prisoners — we…well? Once upon a time, any conservative worth his salt would argue that we respect human rights across the board — because we’re the good guys.
The fact that terrorists\insurgents\whoever are a legal loophole in the Geneva Convention is not a reason to classify them as less than human. It is an opportunity to show the rest of the world that all that rhetoric about Truth and Justice isn’t just a bag of hot air. To lead by example rather than taking cues from our enemies.
But, these days, all I can do is shake my head when I see my fellow countryman arguing that we must become our enemy in order to defeat them.
Seriously — which side are you on, here?
