Top Comments 2/6/08 - I'm Having One of Those Days

I've spent the whole day trying to eject a lung, and, as a result, haven't been up to spending the day working on a subject for my diary tonight, or even mining for comments.

I think it's lack of oxygen to my brain.

Maybe it's all the pulled, strained, and sore muscles in my neck, chest, and abdomen. I might have pulled a muscle in my arm, now that I think about it.

Maybe it's the overload of cold and cough medicines I've been taking. Can I just say that Robitussin tastes awful? And I am so sick of tea I could puke. On second thought, I'd better not. With my luck, I would inhale it and end up with aspiration pneumonia. That would REALLY suck.

Not only is this coughing problem sapping my energy and increasing my laundry load, it is not getting my house packed up for moving.

The calendar says I have ::gasp:: NINETEEN DAYS til we hop in the car and drive to Delaware.

Eek.

Suddenly I feel faint.

From begone:

In Steve Singiser's diary Blue State diary, RUKind's nine word comment said it all about the general election.

From George Hier:

I loved the mental picture Mr Bula paints here.

From Land of Enchantment:

Here's one - not exactly high brow, but I couldn't resist this.  The money comment is two comments downthread, from condoleaser, but it needs its context.

From Willb48:

Amid a thread about Hillary Clinton's self-financing, a gem.

Another from the same self-financing thread.

From SallyCat and madgranny:

Nightsweat wrote this great ode to ct and other other network techs in an equally amazing diary by gchaucer2!

Great comment and gets high tech to meet Browning / Yeats / Shakespeare / et al.

From dogheaven:

During the discussion of mcjoan's Fisa story, I really thought Justus' comment was cogent, concise and dead on.

From DemocraticLuntz:

citizenx on who's the real change candidate.

From A Siegel:

BruceMcF explains how McCain's Straight Talk Express became the Double Talk Shuffle amid my discussion of how Greenpeace has stood up from Friends of the Earth when it comes to the call to Fix Lieberman-Warner or Ditch It.
