Whoops slept a little late today and did not have time to make it to the gym this morning.

Yassir Arafat is now apparently really dead. No really they mean it this time. It is somewhat scarry what could come out of the aftermath of this event. Not only for the state of Isreal but for the middle east and the world at large. The direction taken here, it seems to me, could spin an all ready fragile area of the world into complete disarray. On the other head there is the opportunity for a movement towards peace as well, should parties both involved and wanting to be involved seek it.

From the "Oh Lord" department --
A replacement for Ashcroft has been nominated. The same man who brought us the doctrine of acceptable torture and the abandonment of the geneva conventions. I can only wait with fear and loathing as to what he'll do for the American people.

Wow long post for me.
