As you can see- it’s Friday and I can’t seem to muster up the bitchy to write about anything serious. So I’m seeking travel advice.

In July I’m heading off to the Yucatan peninsula for a few weeks, flying in and out of Cancun. I have little desire to spend more than a day or two in Cancun. I may go down to Belize and/or Guatemala. Anyone been traveling that way before? Got suggestions for must see stuff? I am definitely going to Merida and would like to make it out to Palenque (sighs for Mayan ruins).

Moderate Christians need to restore image.

Are we ahead of the curve or right on top of it? Christian or not, I think we should welcome this effort!

BTW, I post comments at the PI under “wsdeek”.

This guy was the king of bitter and sarcastic, until he got married and happy. Fucker.

Lyrics:
Don’t tell me you don’t know what love is
When you’re old enough to know better
When you find strange hands in your sweater
When your dreamboat turns out to be a footnote
I’m a man with a mission in two or three editions

1. The Goats- Hip-Hopola
2. Talking Heads- Take me to the river
3. They Might be Giants- Put your hand inside the puppet head
4. Franz Ferdinand-Van Tango
5. Marimba Conjunto Espija de Oro- La Jota
6. Squirrel Nut Zippers-Pallin with Al
7. The Ramones- I wanna be your boyfriend
8. Neko Case- I wish I was the moon
9. Paperboys- Still the night
10. The Magnetic Fields- If you don’t cry

Feel free to divulge your deepest, darkest secrets in comments. I promise I won’t tell.

I don’t know how I have managed to miss the Museum of Bad Art. It is truly a thing of wonder (though not beauty).

Panel proposes guaranteed health care for everyone by 2012

In the long term — by 2012 — all Americans should have coverage for a core package of healthcare services, including preventive care, doctor visits, hospitalization and prescription drugs.

That’s right, nationalized health care should no longer be dangled in front of us like some unobtainable socialist jewel.

“After 60 years of the same approach to healthcare reform, we wanted to try something different,” said Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), one of the authors of the legislation that created the panel. “In the past, influential people in Washington have made recommendations to the American people. Now, the hope is to see if a citizen-driven process can provide a general roadmap.”
