John Barleycorn Must Die

A recent entry by noelfigart about chronic pain and an entry by lekythen about allergies combined in my mind to remind me that I hadn't written a coherent account of my adventures with Gluten Intolerance. Rather than spam everyone with the full text, I'll just put a link in. If you are interested in reading about pain, allergies, gluten intolerance, or just want to see a snapshot of my life click on My Life with the Wheat Killed Cult.

John McCain said Congress is "spending money like a drunken sailor." On behalf of all the drunks of this fine country, I hereby request an apology from Mr. McCain. It is inappropriate to compare our fine sometimes slightly wobbly member group, the sailors, to an organization such as the US Congress. We will not have our thoroughly inebriated brethren compared to such a fighting, bickering, womanizing, illogical crowd who are ruled only by their own desires. In lieu of an apology, we will be mollified if McCain would simply buy the next round as long as it doesn't go on the Federal tab.
