While I’m happy to hear that the NYS DEC will apparently recommend that fracking be banned from the Syracuse and NYC aquifers, what we need is a total fracking ban in NYS. My hope would be that Gov Snotball would understand this and act accordingly, but I doubt it. I’m sure his Wall St. pals are telling him there’s a lot of money to be made (tax free, no doubt) raping the Earth, and, well, Andy aint no Mario (let alone Super Mario). If you happen to feel the same way (and, presumably, you live in NYS), you can add your name to this WFP petition, which is nearing its goal of 50,000.

You may recall last year that I was bitching and whining about my shoulder (and my foot, too, of course). It finally got better thanks to a shot of cortisone (my foot, too, come to think of it), and while I’ve had aches and pains since then (sucks to get old), it’s been pretty much OK. Until yesterday, when it inexplicably blew up on me. It’s better at the moment, but I really hope it doesn’t wind up becoming a huge problem again – especially since I have work to do today. Not work, work, but swinging a hammer (or an air nailer) type work. So, I should be pretty much totally crippled by this time tomorrow.

One nice thing about recording the Daily Show is that I can FF through interviews with idiots like Bill Kristol. Whereas he is a lying piece of shit who adds absolutely nothing to any conversation he’s a part of, I have no desire to listen to him.

OK, it’s now come to my attention that Curb Your Enthusiasm season 8 begins on July 10. There appears to be no way I can avoid adding HBO.
