Two-fold post: health and politics

mousmeI am bordering on being hardcore sick. Woke up this morning with a really bad and really weird headache. Not a migraine, but damned painful anyway. That's not so bad. I have a really high tolerance threshold for pain, given that I've been doing the migraine thing since I was about seven or eight years old (egads, that's twenty years! Anyway...).
However, throw an upset stomach into the mix, and I become a total baby. I don't know what it is about feeling nauseous, but it makes me cranky and whiny and clingy and makes me want my mommy like you wouldn't believe. I saw my mother last night, but that was before I started feeling sick, so it doesn't count.
I had better not still be sick on Saturday, is all I'm sayin'. Being sick for my own birthday party would suck.
In political news, it looks like Frank McKenna is leaving his post as ambassador to the USA and thus opening the door to being possibly the next leader of the Canadian Liberal Party.
This is a pretty interesting if not unexpected development. I am woefully ignorant about McKenna's stance on most issues, but I plan to find out about them as quickly as possible, especially since, given the Conservatives' current mandate and position in parliament, I'm pretty sure we'll be seeing elections again in twelve to eighteen months. Canadian politicians do *not* play nice with the other parties, as we've seen, and the Conservatives are pretty much caught between a rock and a hard place (and a pointy bit, too, on a third side) when considering either partnership or coalition with the other parties.
I need a politically-themed icon now. :)

It was called 'The Hustler' and had all these great shots of someone making all these crazy pool shots, and Frankie winking at other politicians, and such, it was hilarious ^-^
